I just got the nicest email from one of my peers in the National Speakers Association, humorist speaker Bobbe White from Illinois. She read my article on how to test humor before going on stage, and flattered me with this cool email.
Thanks Bobbe. You go girl!
Good morning Brad,
I wanted to let you know [...]

Come See Me Speak in California! (Public Seminar)
Under the heading: “Wow, this is not what Brad usually does….”
I’m rarely speak anywhere where the public can come see me. But this August I’ll be in
California at the Speak Your Way to Wealth Seminar. (That sounds good to me!)
A couple of nice folks [...]

Our Vice President made a joke about inter-marriage among families. His family.
“So, I had Cheneys on both sides of the family — and we don’t even live in West Virginia,” Cheney cracked. After pausing for laughter from the crowd, Cheney added, “You can say those things when you’re not running for re-election.”
Well, [...]

Harvey Korman was one of my favorites.   He died this week, and my heart was broken.
I grew up loving the Carole Burnett Show.  I loved him and Tim Conway.  I loved everything about him.

Hang on!  It’s almost here kids!

A cool blog just picked up one of my posts.
If you’re looking to learn more about public speaking or professional speaking, this is a pretty cool resource.

Craft Gone Wrong!!!

Recently, we had a magic “unit” (do they give patches for that?) where I got to work with the troop and do some magic. After learning (and seeing) what real [...]

I was recently speaking in Virginia with a very well-respected comedian speaker. This guy has some killer credits and some amazing stuff on his resume.
And he was funny. But his opening sucked. And in spite of his terrific skills, he never really one the crowd over.
So, what did he do wrong? [...]

Jay is just such a friend. He is able to think easily in a way that makes my mind go numb.
He is in my mastermind group of fellow Colorado Speakers. We met yesterday, and — as usual — Jay was able to help me see my speaking business in ways that help me [...]
