December was a significant month. Of course there’s Christmas, but our family had two highly emotional events prior to that. My mother passed the first part of the month, and four days after her funeral my daughter got married. That’s the “full monty” of emotions.
Funny Motivational Speaker and Travelers. I’ve been traveling as a funny motivational speaker for over forty years and I’ve seen some crazy stuff, but this is just too funny and weird to ignore. While going through security at the airport the other day, I couldn’t help but notice the older couple in front of me.…
Funny motivational speaker has a great idea for New Year Resolutions. It’s mid-January and most of my resolutions have already gone bye-bye. Turns out my resolutions are more like fantasies. But my FunnierU.com buddy George Campbell gave me a great idea: Resolutions are way more fun when you make them for other people. Now that’s…
Funny motivational speaker meets a vegan. Sarcasm ensues. We are a nation of different opinions and that is healthy. There’s an old saying that goes, “if two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary”. I respect an opposing view, I just want my opponent to respect mine. Such was not the case with…
Funny motivational speaker thinks politics can be funny. Particularly a Presidential race with a bunch of candidates posing as comedians. I know it seems like the Presidential race has already gone on forever, but we really haven’t begun. We don’t even know who the nominees will be, that’s when the mud will fly and…
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.…
I’m a funny motivational speaker so I look for observational humor. It often ends up in my programs. Research studies from think tanks, universities, and the government will almost always provide some fodder when you’re in the business of being a funny motivational speaker. None of these were intended to be humorous, but they…
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…
