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…
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. We spent a year criss-crossing this country thanking donors, speaking at youth events, and attending conventions. Hadn’t…
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…
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…
Funny motivational speaker doesn’t mean fun all the time. Particularly when you’re battling the elements and a fat foot. Some of you know I’ve had my foot in a cast, and then a boot for a while. I’m getting better, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to run a 10 flat hundred or…
Funny Motivational Speaker has a smart take on Christmas Shopping. I’m not just someone who makes a living as a funny motivational speaker, I’m also a champion procrastinator. So here’s my take on Christmas presents since there’s only a few days left to finish your shopping. Well, that’s the woman’s perspective. I see it a…
I make a living as a funny motivational speaker making people laugh (hopefully). But my pets make me laugh. Pets are great companions because they love you unconditionally, as long as you give them a treat or scratch them behind the ears. I scratched my wife behind the ears once and found it’s apparently different…
I make a living as a funny motivational speaker, but sometimes I wonder if I’m a grumpy old man. Such was the case on a recent flight. It was just one flight, but I had to ask myself that question. The row of kids behind me kept kicking the seat and slamming the trays up…
Funny Motivational Speaker is Mom’s favorite, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. But since I’m her favorite, this blog is for her. Why? Because her birthday is this month. She always tells me I’m her favorite, although I’m pretty sure she tells my four siblings the same thing. I’m pretty sure she means…
Funny Motivational Speaker attempts a “man hug” and it goes horribly wrong. As you might guess, over the course of more than 30 years of stage work I’ve had a lot of crazy stuff happen. I’m not just talking the normal things like dishes crashing (how about not trying to carry 20 at a time),…
