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…
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 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.

Funny motivational speaker will probably fail at New Year’s resolutions like everybody else. I’ve always thought resolutions were something that went in one year and out the other. They’re soft goals that seldom get met because they just fizzle out over time. And the bigger deal you make out of them, the bigger disappointment you…

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…
Funny Motivational Speaker and IRS encounters can be funny. Or not. I’m beginning to think that a career as a funny motivational speaker “red flags” you for an audit from the IRS. Why? Well, you might not believe this, but I just completed my fourth audit in six years. I didn’t mistype. Four of the…
Funny Motivational Speaker and his Daughters throw a Spectacular Surprise Birthday Party. My spectacular daughters threw a surprise 60th birthday party for me. And yes, I’m okay with being 60. Beats the options. This party was the most creative and amazing function I’ve ever been to, and I’ve seen a few. The surprise, the videos,…
