Hello, my friends! Today we are going to be talking about the highly amusing and useful book, Do You Talk Funny? by David Nihill.This book is all about improving your public speaking skills by adding comedic timing to your toolkit. If you're ready to learn something and be entertained, then stay tuned and enjoy the show!

Originally from Dublin Ireland, David Nihill is the founder of FunnyBizz Conference, bestselling author of Do You Talk Funny?, winner of San Francisco International Comedy Competition, runner up in the Moth's largest US Grandslam storytelling competition and the first-ever Irishman to have a special on Dry Bar Comedy. His work has been featured in Inc, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Fast Company, Lifehacker, The Irish Times, TED, The Irish Independent, Today FM, and on TV3.He and I met through friends a few years ago and I was immediately impressed not only with his barely indecipherable accent but also with how much knowledge he possessed about marketing, books and how to make them successful. This impression was only solidified when, a few days later, he sent me an email packed with all the strategies he'd used to make his book so successful that he was able to then sell it to a major publisher.In this episode, we go through all those ideas and more. If you listened to the episode, you know that I promised I would give you the email he sent out to his launch team, which you are welcome to copy and steal (he will never know, unless he's reading this, in which case I say hi David!)

In a time where attention is the most valuable resource in the world of business, learning how to capture and hold someone’s attention becomes a priceless skill.  Thankfully, we know without a shadow of a doubt after 10,000 years of history, that telling captivating, interesting, or entertaining stories is the key to winning over the human mind and heart.  Yesterday, I sent out an email to my readers about my new course, Richer Every Day.  Richer Every Day is a system, and a training program that teaches people how to turn the money you make today, into passive investment income that pays you forever.  If you want to learn how to make $100,000 per month in passive income, Richer Every Day will show you exactly how we’re doing that.  Now most emails you get about a product or service just jump straight into their pitch, and sure, there’s a time and a place for that, especially when you’re nearing a deadline, but there’s a much more effective way to sell, and that’s by using a story.  So I started yesterday’s email with a story about the life of a man named Ronald, and that email ended up producing a record number of new sales.  In fact, I’ll just go ahead and read that email for you here now, so you can keep it as an example…  ============= “Every morning, Ronald Read would stop by the local hospital in his small town to have breakfast in the cafeteria...  He sat down in the same stool at the counter, said hello to the staff, and politely ordered the usual... A cup of coffee, and an English muffin with peanut butter.  He was a soft-spoken, simple man...  He grew up in poverty. He graduated from high school and then served in the military during WWIIl, fighting in Africa, Italy, and the Pacific.   Upon his return, he took a job at a gas station where he worked for 25 years, and then eventually became a janitor at the local JC Penney, where he worked part time for the next 17 years.  Now if you were to wonder about Ron's level of financial success in life, you'd probably conclude that he simply made enough to make ends meet.  After all, how could someone making a modest wage as a janitor amass any kind of meaningful wealth?  Well the truth might surprise you... When Ronald died in 2014 at the age of 93, his family was shocked to discover that he had amassed a fortune of more than $8 million.  Think about that for a minute...  95% of the online "experts" who are making millions in sales per year as entrepreneurs, don't have $8 million dollars of free and clear cash in their bank account, and they never will.  Not because they can't... But because they won't.  Why? Three reasons... The first is that they're completely unaware of the invisible neural-chemical associations which have hi-jacked their brains, and linked pleasure, satisfaction, and status, with spending money, or taking risks.  Second, is because they're running subconscious programs that will prevent them from accumulating and saving the money they do make over the long term.  One of the most common hidden programs entrepreneurs have is, "I'm not good enough" and in order to prove to the world they are good enough, they'll go out and buy the usual luxury status symbols like that shiny new Rolex or Lambo.  Again, and again, and again, preventing them from ever accumulating anywhere near the amount of wealth they would otherwise...  Which leads into the third problem... They have spent so much time focused on how to make money, they've never taken the time to make a plan for the money they do make.  And when you don't have a plan for your money, it will leave you for someone else who does.  Ronald Read had a plan. He followed it diligently, and he amassed an $8 million fortune while making less than $12 an hour.  You don't need to make more money to start building life-long wealth.  Ronald is proof of that.   What you do need, is to remove the invisible behaviors and programs that are causing your wealth bucket to continuously leak.  Once you do that, THEN, and only then, are you ready to start investing.  We use the Richer Every Day System which literally makes you a little richer every single day, and it's designed to produce passive investment income that will replace your current income.  Our goal is to hit $100,000/Mo in passive income within the next 60 months.  We're already 25% of the way there in less than a year, even though I didn't have a business for the past 2.5 years.  If you want me to show you how to do the same, you're ready for your financial breakthrough.  If you don't... If you're coming up with reasons or excuses right now that would push you away from that kind of information or result, guess what... That's a sneak peek into the subconscious program that's holding you back.  And until you discover and re-wire it, you will never achieve what you want to achieve, because your mind simply won't let you.  Want to learn how to do that? Want to see our system and how it works? Just click here to watch this video now, and I'll walk you through the entire process...“ ===========   So that’s it… That was the entire email, and it produced over 6 figures in sales in a day.  So how do you learn how to tell simple, but effective stories like this either in your emails, your sales letters, or even your YouTube videos? Well today you’re going to learn how to do that from one of the best speakers in the world, David Nihill.  David is the best-selling author of Do You Talk Funny, which is known as one of the best books on public speaking and storytelling ever written. This interview is incredible. It had me taking notes, and dying to apply what David shared in every piece of content I produce moving forward.  If you want to win the war for attention, you simply need to learn how to tell a great story, and if you want to learn how to tell a great story, please help me welcome, David Nihil.

Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. This book is a part story and part manual. It follows David's story to become an engaging public speaker and the lessons he learnt along the way. It shows how anyone can become funny and breaks down the steps to get there. It is a highly motivating book for someone who is nervous of approaching the world of public speaking, business presentations and things like a Ted speech. David goes into the science of what makes a great speech and how to reflect and add moments that capture your audiences imagination and increase your confidence. The idea of doing stand up comedy seems like a distant and scary dream to 99% of humans. This book makes it seem quite possible and we expain the lessons learnt and how to approach becoming a funnie speaker.

Do You Talk Funny by David Nihill

La maggior parte dei libri su comunicazione e public speaking ci dicono che l'umorismo è importante per una presentazione di successo. Però, nessun libro ci dice effettivamente come possiamo inserire un po' di umorismo nelle nostre presentazioni. Nessun libro ci spiega quali sono le tecniche usate dai comici e come possiamo applicarle in un contesto business. "Do You Talk Funny?" di David Nihill fa proprio questo.

Public speaking can be a really daunting prospect for many of us. The fear that we’ll humiliate ourselves in front of a live audience is enough to make anyone sweat buckets before a live event! But if you can just make them laugh, you’ll immediately ease the tension in the room and boost your own self-confidence so that you can give a world-class talk without choking on stage. On this podcast episode, I speak with David Nihill about how to be funnier in your public speaking, presentations, live broadcasts, YouTube videos and even on your podcast! David is an author, producer, entrepreneur and funny man from Dublin, Ireland. He is the best-selling author of “Do You Talk Funny?” and the founder of the FunnyBizz Conference. Essential Learning Points From This Episode: The value of humor is that it can be used to grab and hold people’s attention You may not be able to overcome your fear of public speaking, but you can learn how to manage it Create a “happy journal” and fill it with funny content ideas that you can look back on Inject short personal stories into your presentation and follow up it with, “I told you that story because…” to really grab people’s attention Always try and put the punchline of your story at the very end of the sentence to facilitate time for laughter If you’re worried that a joke will fall flat, avoid telling jokes and tell a funny story instead Acknowledging a fail is the easiest way to overcome awkwardness and make the audience laugh Focus on content over delivery until you get paid to speak Link the start of your speech to the end and try to leave them with three key learning elements If you’re showing slides and images during your presentation, you need to set it up and use it alongside (or instead of) your punchline Much, much more!

En el episodio 33 recomendamos el libro "Do you talk funny". El día siguiente en que grabamos el episodio tuve la suerte de conocer a su autor: David Nihill. Le llevé del hotel al aeropuerto y pasamos un buen rato hablando de humor, libros frikis y sobre el proceso de escribir. En este extra ball, entrevisto a David Nihill y hablamos sobre el humor en las presentaciones y sobre el proceso de escribir y publicar un libro. Estos son algunos temas que tratamos en la entrevista (está en inglés): No intentes hacerte el gracioso. Cómo los momentos humillantes del pasado pueden acabar siendo provechosos. Cómo encontrar material para crear humor. ¿Puede el humor desarrollarse? ¿Qué beneficios tiene grabarse las presentaciones? Cómo usar métricas para mejorar nuestro humor La técnica "Bookend" para cerrar una presentación de forma completa. Por qué es recomendable grabar primero la versión audio de un libro antes de publicarlo. Cómo lograr que una editorial tradicional publique el libro de un autor novel. ¿Cuáles son las dos mejores cosas para invertir dinero al escribir un libro para publicar?  Cómo elegir la portada para tu libro (y evitar que otros propongan sus horribles sugerencias).

Among other things we will talk about how doing improv comedy can make anyone a better public speaker, how to use humor to connect with your audience, and the tips and tricks you can borrow from professional comedians – to get a laugh

This week, our in-depth conversation features David Nihill. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, David, like so man of us, had a deep fear of public speaking. But, he found himself having to face this head on, when he reluctantly agreed to host a benefit comedy show he had suggested for a friend, Arash Bayatmakou, who had suffered a severe spinal cord injury (Comedy for a Spinal Cause). He quickly realized the best speakers were also often the funniest. Not because of the one-liners they threw into the audience, but because they knew how to tell a story in a way that made people laugh.In at attempt to learn the craft and also face his crippling fear of public speaking, he spent a year traveling the country pretending to be an accomplished comedian and talking his way onto as many comedy show stages and festivals as possible. Along the way, he not only overcame his fear of speaking, he began to deconstruct the best story-driven comedy and figured out a methodology he could not only bring to the stage himself, but also teach pretty much anyone. Even people who consider themselves to have nearly zero ability to tell stories or be funny.The shared this approach in a book, k, Do You Talk Funny?, then launched a community, writers platform, and conference series under called FunnyBizz Conference: Where Business Meets Humor, with the intention of helping everyone from speakers and executives to content creators tap the power of storytelling, comedy and improv to engage readers and audiences on a whole new level.David realized he had learned something in the process that could be valuable to other businesspeople — most people, with the right techniques, could learn to be funny, (at least on stage) and learning how to structure a comedy routine involves the exact same skills as making a successful presentation. He now also runs an agency that lets anyone from executives to speakers to anyone who wants funnier content tap a team of freelance comedy writers to punch up anything from a keynote or best-man's speech to an article or boardroom presentation.In This Episode, You'll Learn:What it was like faking his way onto stagesHow his Irish heritage played into his ability to tell storiesWhich TED talks have the most laughs per minute.How comedy & copywriting are correlated.That US comedy is a testament to tight TV ready writing.How many laughs per day a baby has compared to adults over 35 years old.That CEOs perceive people with a sense of humor as doing better work.Mentioned in This Episode:FunnyBizz Conference: Where Business Meets Humor80 free tips from his bookDavid's udemy courseArash Bayatmakou's TEDx talkCamp GLP is about connecting, playing, lighting up on a deeper, more meaningful level.

Today’s show is layered with a small dose of funny. My guest is David Nihill, the author of Do You Talk Funny? 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker. When I originally asked David to be on the show he replied saying he didn’t have any business failures to share, but thanks. I didn’t agree with that because he took on comedy to overcome his fear of public speaking. He couldn’t stand in front of a room and talk. That’s a problem many people, possibly you, face. So I hit him over the head and dragged him into the cave to share his story. What he teaches will help entrepreneurs, CEOs, managers, sales people, coaching calls, and more. Humor makes everything easier. And David makes humor easy. Here’s what David and I discuss: Why David’s friends called him “Shakin Stevens.” How he fell apart the first time speaking. How fear of public speaking can hold you back at work and other areas of your life. Why David still hates being on camera, and what he’s given up because of this fear. Why he chose stand-up comedy, of all things, to face his public speaking fear. Why he said comedians are the true masters of public speaking. What you can learn from comedians to present better and make more sales. Why stories drive the best comedy, and the best business presentations. How David uses stories with traditional comedy techniques to build his routine. What he took from comedy to apply in business. What you can do to hone the funny parts in your presentations so you don’t have to master the stand-up comedy circuit. Why comedians always watch what they did to get feedback and improve. Why “winging it” is the worst thing you can do when presenting. The two parts of your presentation that you must completely control to be a true master. What “calling the room” means and how you can use it for maximum impact in your presentations. The structure of a joke, and how to use it in your presentations and stories. Why you’re being judged from the first minute of your presentation, and how to start strong. Why he feels slightly guilty for Donald Trump becoming who he is today, because of David’s mother. How to create a “memory palace” to help you remember your stories. The one thing most people can do to feel relaxed and calm before any presentation. Why David hates most public speaking books. How David tested his ideas before writing his book to see if there was a market for it. How comedy improves your ability to write stories. Why practice is so critical. Why he started comedy under the anonymous name of “Irish Dave.” What David does that helps him tweak his creative efforts. Enjoy the show.

Now let's get to my today's guest - David Nihill David was born in Dublin, Ireland. After graduating with a Master’s Degree in Business in 2003, he moved to San Francisco where he worked for the Irish government helping startups expand rapidly. He has been involved with startup companies ever since. David is the Founder of FunnyBizz Conferences, a community conference series helping content creators tap into the power of storytelling, comedy and improv to create better content. He has performed standup comedy at California’s leading clubs including Cobbs, the Comedy Store, the Improv and the Punchline even though he strongly denies being a comedian and is well aware most people don’t understand his accent. His learning, taken from one year's intensive experiments in comedy, performed on someone from the business community with a huge initial fear of public speaking (i.e. him!) have been featured in Inc. and Forbes amongst others. He loves sharks, still dislikes public speaking, and calls San Francisco home when immigration officials permit. In this interview we discuss how David wrote and launched his book Do You Talk Funny?, which you can get for free in the coming 2 days. So what did David do? David had the original idea for that was creating an online course on Udemy called Become a Better and Funnier Speaker. By clicking on the link you can get the course for $18 (with 70% discount). What were the benefits of that strategy? It is easier to find natural voice by talking than writing Udemy promoted the course, so David was able to avoid the self-promotion Training's demand validated that there is a need of the topic Helped create the audience (around 4k students enrolled) 10-20% of the students were engaged and provided interactive feedback Saved time and effort (all training material was transcribed for $80) The online training brought in passive income of $12k The income from the training made it possible to invest in producing a good quality book The creation of the training took about 2 weeks only Through training data you can track where students drop off and which parts should be modified Food for Thought The passive income is not as passive as you think it is!
