Order of Man - A podcast by Ryan Michler
Categorie:
No one ever accused me of being funny but that doesn't mean I don't see the value of humor and comedy in life and in society in general. Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Keith Yackey, who over the past couple of years has transitioned from the corporate stage to the comedy stage. Today we talk about why fear keeps us from doing great things, why we as a society need comedians, the power of instant feedback on our path to growth, and how to be funny and why you should care. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Why fear keeps people from doing great things 5 key components to being great at presenting Why hiring a coach is critical to your success How to develop humor in your life even if you're not funny Why hope is the foundation of all progress How comedians are like scientists The power of recording your performances Why stand-up comedy is one of the hardest things on earth to do The incredible power of instant feedback Striking the balance between caring what people think and being yourself How to overcome the fear you experience in life How owning your mess-ups is the best approach to overcoming bombing Why we as a society allow comedians to cross PC lines Why we need to be careful not to fight for our excuses Why every man should incorporate humor into everyday life Decoding "likeability" KEITH YACKEY My guest today is my friend, Keith Yackey. He's been extremely successful in the corporate and event world, building an 8-figure investment firm in just two short years. But the reason I wanted to have him on the podcast is for his more recent endeavors, stand up comedy. It's something that has always been fascinating (and scary) to me so, to watching Keith go from, comedy newcomer to performing in some of the biggest comedy clubs in the world, has been incredible to watch. I hope you enjoy today's conversation with Keith as he shares with us how to become funnier and why it's so important.
