“To create content — it's got to give you pleasure, it can't be a chore. Be honest with yourself. If you're putting goodness out into the world consistently, something's going to hit — trust that process.”Whether you've got a corporate job, a side hustle (like a podcast or three), or are even a full-time entrepreneur or entertainer, the idea of ‘content creation' has become increasingly important. But what if the act of marketing content becomes more work than the actual act of making actually good content? Inspired by a recent NY Times article, P&G Alums Drew Tarvin (Humor That Works) + Bob Gilbreath (the Workaround) got together to discuss and debate their own approaches to all that is creating content. This is a special “topic-driven” episode where we bring together P&G Alum experts to share their personal learnings.

“The most important part of humor in the workplace isn't the humor — it's the outcome, which is it's fun. Bracken Darrell is President & CEO of Logitech - where for more than a decade he's been the driver for Logitech's continued growth and profitability. Prior to joining Logitech, Bracken spent a decade in executive roles @ Whirlpool, Braun, and General Electric - and also worked in brand management at P&G. Prior to receiving his MBA from Harvard, Bracken worked at Arthur Anderson and PepsiCo. Bracken's a longtime “Friend of the Pod” - so we wanted to feature another chat he had with our favorite Humor Engineer and Co-host Andrew Tarvin, in one of Drew's ”Humor Talks.” You'll enjoy hearing Bracken share his recognition in the power of humor for creating a fun workplace. Now more than ever, it's important to be able to be your authentic self at work, and for so many people, that includes humor. But Bracken knows that humor at work doesn't have to mean telling jokes (he doesn't think he's a particularly funny person) - he's more in the moment, improvising or reacting quickly to what is said - a great mindset to building humor. This conversation may also stories about Jack Welch, and the naming of a cat in this candid conversation that no surprise, is a fun one.

How many Corporate Humorists do you know? Honestly I'd be shocked if you know any other than the one and only Andrew Tarvin. After all, he is the one that decided to create his own business cards with that title while he was working as an IT Project Manager at Procter & Gamble. From there he started adding jokes to the ends of my emails, volunteered to MC meetings he wasn't invited to, and got a nameplate for his cubicle wall.  Over his 10+ year career As the CEO of Humor That Works, Drew has helped people use humor to be more effective. He has been a part of more than 500 events for more than 70,000 people in all 50 states, 50-plus countries, 6 continents, and 1 planet (Earth). He has three books, including the best-seller Humor That Works: The Missing Skill for Success and Happiness at Work and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and FastCompany. In addition to his TedX talk being viewed more than 12 million times, he has performed in more than 1,000 shows all around the world, has appeared on VH1, WSJ Live, and - brace yourself - was a model, for one photo session, at the age of 6 years old.

He says that people “learn skills to be effective at our jobs, but never learn the skills to actually enjoy our jobs.” The most important thing Tarvin feels is understanding your humor M.A.P. – Medium, Audience and Purpose. Tarvin stresses that in the workplace it's less about being a comedian, it's about being effective. Humor enhances positivity and, with 83 percent of Americans feeling stressed out at work, the book is about how to use humor to execute faster, communicate better and connect – or lead – further. After all, “It's less about doing what you love than loving what you do.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To achieve success and happiness in the workplace, it's not about changing what you do, but how you do it. People who use humor at work are more productive, less stressed, and happier. In our fall opener of PEO Leadership's The Way Forward Live Webcast series, we hosted a conversation with Andrew Tarvin, humor engineer, leadership expert and author of Humor That Works. The current way of working isn't actually working. 83% of Americans are stressed out at work, 55% are unsatisfied with their jobs, and 47% struggle to stay happy. Today, 18 months into this pandemic, workers are quitting their jobs in record numbers. What are you and your leadership team doing to retain, inspire and engage your people and attract great talent?The purpose of Humor That Works is to provide you with a compact, cohesive resource for understanding the ‘what', ‘why', and ‘how' of using humor at work. The goal is to make you a better leader by implementing specific strategies, you'll not only get better results, you'll also have more fun. This is a way of working that is different and effective. Choosing a humor mindset means understanding the various styles of humor and knowing which are appropriate for the workplace.In this session, Andrew Tarvin will discuss how to use humor to: Be a better leaderTo think more creativelyTo execute with excellenceTo communicate more effectivelyTo create better connections in your professional and personal life

Humor for Stress (0:00:00) When life gets busy, it can be hard to remember to keep life fun and enjoyable. We start to get bogged down in all the details that we forget to enjoy the journey. And sometimes the best medicine for stress really is a little laughter. Our next guest, Andrew Tarvin, is a firm believer in this idea, which is why he founded Humor That Works, a company based on teaching professionals how to incorporate humor into the workplace to achieve better business results.  Raising a Difficult Child (0:21:43) Every parent and child struggle with discipline at least once. Whether that's in the first few years with tantrums or rebellious teenage years—no child is easy. But some children can be especially difficult to deal with. It doesn't mean that we love them any less, but we want to be able to figure out the best way to help them learn and grow. For one couple, this proved to be incredibly hard when their adopted daughter was showing intense behavior issues from a young age. Here to tell us more about that experience and how we can better raise and understand our difficult children is author Paul Podolsky.   Spot the Bot (0:52:47) We've all had to click those little "I'm not a robot" boxes when using the internet. While it may seem like a ridiculous thing to clarify with your computer that you are in fact human and not a machine, it's actually quite important. Bots are used across all social media platforms, spreading misinformation and political propaganda. And while you might think you can tell real people from robots—online—it's harder than you might think. Here to share with us his advice on how we can spot bots on social media is media forensic expert Darren Linvill.   Mini Book Club: Bullying Books (1:12:57) Rachel Wadham, of BYU Radio's Worlds Awaiting, talks with Lisa and Richie about the best books that teach kids about bullying.   Halloween Costume Ideas (1:27:22) The beauty of Halloween is that you can dress up as much or as little as you want and have a blast either way. And now more than ever, despite the fact that we won't be going to any big gatherings, we deserve to dress up, celebrate and have fun! But we are now only two days away from Halloween. So, for those of you who have procrastinated, it's time to start thinking of last-minute costumes. To help us out we invited fashion designer, celebrity stylist and Lisa's sister—Amanda Valentine.

70% of Americans aren't engaged at work. Are you one of them? More importantly, are you a part of the problem? Most of us aren't strangers to challenges in the workplace.

Andrew Tarvin is a humor engineer who's worked with companies like CNN, Fast Company, ESPN, and the FBI.

One day... I'll be ready. One day... I'll take that next step. One day... I'll have it all figured out. How many times in your life have you told yourself "one day"? I remember, 4 years ago (which is still amazing to me), I was sitting at the same desk, in front of the same 4 computer screens, being yelled at by the same angry men, at the same job that I hated, and no matter how miserable each new day might be, I still told myself... "One day"... I'll quit this job. "One day"...I'll do something I really love. "One day"... I'll be free. Thankfully for me, that one day came much sooner than I expected, but for most people, "one day" always seems to loom somewhere off in the distant future. For most of us, that "one day" will only come when we've done enough research, made enough money, had enough conversations, or cried enough times that we feel... gasp... ready. But what if there was a fool-proof, sure-fire, tried-and-tested method to avoid all this wishin'.. and hopin'... and dreamin'... and prayin'? What if there was a way to decide to leave your job that not only allowed you to have zero fears or doubts when you left but also allowed you to remain in that job as long as you needed without feeling like you were missing out on something else? What if there was a process you could use to go from believing you were meant for something more to actually doing something more? Would you do it? My friend Andrew Tarvin is with us today to talk about, among other things, the method he used to quit his comfortable job at Proctor and Gamble with no fears, no doubts, and no regrets. Andrew and I talk about the process he followed (and enjoyed along the way!) to get from a 9-to-5 to a completely nomadic lifestyle that he lived successfully for over 18 months. We also talk about the ways you can build more confidence and commitment in your life by using simple strategies that businesses have used for years. Our guest today is not only a great friend and mastermind partner, he is also an hilarious and gifted professional speaker and comedian. He's spoken in all of the 50 states and several countries internationally. He started one of the most popular college improv groups in the country, went on to work for one of the most impressive Fortune 500 companies in the world, and began his own successful career in speaking and training in the span of just 10 years. Andrew is a force to be reckoned with, and I'm delighted he could be here today to share his wisdom and knowledge with you. Without further ado, I give you, Andrew Tarvin!

  Andrew Tarvin LOVES Improvisational Comedy. He started the 8th Floor Improv Group while attending THE Ohio State University in 2004. That group started in Stradley Hall is still together 11 years later. The names and faces may change, but the shows go on. After college, he took a calculated risk and worked as an engineer for Proctor and Gamble (who coincidentally managed to contain comedian Greg Warren for a few years before he broke free). Although that job was a great experience, he couldn't put his love for comedy on the back burner forever. Flash forward to New York City where Andrew now calls home. His focus now has shifted to Humor That Works. He has done the research and dug up the data to show businesses the value of humor. He communicates to companies the return on investment levity in the workplace can provide. He's given a Tedx Talk, Performed in Norway, and written a book. Listen in as he describes how he did all of this while looking like a 15-year old boy and sounding like a 13-year old girl. We discuss: How he started the Improv Group Why he thinks Improv is easier than Satnd-up How he helps organizations use Humor to increase the bottom line How he prepared for his Tedx Talk What high school kids are doing now that we both wish we did A tip for new Improv players to get more in the moment A tip for creating comedy And much more.
