This funny motivational speaker has picked up some great communication tips over the years. May I share? Let’s be honest. Men and women are terrible communicators with each other. You know what I’m talking about…saying one thing but actually meaning another. I will lay blame on both sexes, that way both of you will be…
This funny motivational speaker has four funny grandchildren. Genetics. A beautiful thing. Four grandchildren. Four angels. Slightly ornery angels, but angels nonetheless. I’m enjoying them like crazy now because once they’re teenagers, this old man, even though he’s their grandpa and makes audiences laugh as a funny motivational speaker, will not be as cool. And…
A tough question for a funny motivational speaker is, “what’s been your favorite gig?” I generally say, “the last one that gave me a check”. HA! A funny motivational speaker is supposed to answer funny, right? But with over forty years and thousands of audiences, I always thought it impossible to single out one event.…
A funny motivational speaker can sometime focus too much on being funny. I’ve had a lot of oddball things happen to me over the years, but this “disaster” is one I can quickly remember, even though it happened a few years ago. And yes, as a funny motivational speaker I sometimes tell it on stage.…
How did this funny motivational speaker get his start? My career as a funny motivational speaker had it’s beginning when I served with a group of guys as National Officers of a youth organization (FFA) 40 years ago.

None of these were intended to be humorous, but they…
When you’re a funny motivational speaker and emcee, you often get thrown into situations you never thought you’d experience. Not too long ago I worked one of the coolest gigs I’ve ever had. I presented a couple of programs for a food service wholesaler and also served as the emcee for cooking demonstrations during the…
A funny motivational speaker is supposed to make a joke about everything, right? Not in this case. This will be a vast departure from any previous writing. I have always attempted to make my newsletters uplifting. When you make a living as a funny motivational speaker, people expect that. Humor does that. But that’s not…
A funny motivational speaker gets to travel a lot. And that’s annoying after a while. Particularly when you’re navigating road construction. Most of my work as a funny motivational speaker involves travel by plane, but lately I’ve spent more time than normal traveling by car. I’m glad this happened when fuel prices spiked. I have…
Funny Motivational Speaker heads to the Post Office. Yikes! Going to the Post Office sometimes (okay, every time) requires patience. Particularly if you’re a funny motivational speaker with a short patience span. Every time. Not some of the time. Every time. I swear every time I go to the post office, I get behind THAT…
