Pragmatic Technologies for Life and Business Success®
In the ocean of podcasts, it’s like trying to find a message in a bottle. It feels like everyone’s trying to be the captain of their own show, doesn’t it? Sailing the high seas of content creation can lead to some pretty dry spells, especially when you’re charting the technical waters. The challenge is to not drown our audience in a sea of details that could make watching paint dry look like a Vegas act.
Just last night, my family floated back from a night of laughs at Cleveland’s Playhouse Square, and they couldn’t wait to spill the tea. They were bubbling over with stories that had them laughing like seagulls at snack time.
Now, this comedian Modi, he’s like a rabbi of raillery—a real wise guy. I’ve been double-tapping his stuff on Instagram for a while, and he knows how to give the everyday grind the roast it deserves. Imagine someone so good at taking life’s serious moments and serving them up with a side of sass.
Remember “Stripes,” the oldie but goodie from ’81? Bill Murray’s crew is a band of misfits in camo, and there’s Francis, who’s about as chill as a polar bear in a sauna. But when he gets a dose of humor from the boss, even he can’t help but crack a smile.
We all need that reminder to not be Francis. Even Peter Ustinov, the grandmaster of chuckles, said it best: “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.”
Now, here’s a kicker for you—ever heard a business speech so long it should come with a “binge-watch” warning? We’ve all been there, nodding along to the rhythm of “Is this still the same point?”
As we all navigate through these choppy waters, remember to let humor be your life vest. Henny Youngman, the king of one-liners, once quipped, “If you’ve got plans tonight you’ll regret in the morning, just hit snooze.”
So, here’s your buoy: as you create, market, or strategize, don’t just add humor—be the humor. Your audience will thank you for it, and your message will stick like barnacles on a ship’s hull. And remember, if you’re about to do something tonight you might regret in the morning—don’t set an alarm.
