"The bigger the roles that I got, the more I ended up drawing on what I had learned in improv and standup. Why was no one talking about how valuable humor is as a skill? So I realized maybe I should.” Drew Tarvin is the world's first and only Humor Engineer (not just this podcast's co-host). On a How To Live podcast conversation with co-host Sharad Lal, Drew shares not just his career journey - but practical skills on how humour can amplify leadership and why it's more than just a tool for entertainment. Drew studied engineering at THE Ohio State University, and was hired to P&G for his technical skills where he worked on global roles in his hometowns of Cincinnati and New York City. Yet, it was humour—not engineering—that became his edge in the workplace. By using humour, he diffused tension, built strong relationships, influenced others, and accelerated his career — in fact, he became P&G's first ever - self proclaimed - corporate humorist.  Ultimately this led Drew to make the entrepreneurial leap — founding Humor That Works, a company that has helped 10,000+ leaders in over 100 organisations—including IBM, GE, the FBI, AND P&G —harness humour to lead effectively. His TEDx talk on the skill of humor has been viewed 15MM+ times. You can learn more about Drew's work @ drewtarvin.com. You'll enjoy this candid conversation on how humor can add depth, purpose, and fulfillment to even the most serious work. This conversation is from from P&G Alum Sharad Lal's top podcast “HOW TO LIVE” - for lots more great conversations with Sharad and thought leaders, subscribe to How To Live wherever you get your favorite podcasts, or visit howtolive.life  Got an idea for a future “Learnings from Leaders” episode?

Yet, it was humour—not engineering—that became his edge in the workplace.By using humour, he diffused tension, built strong relationships, influenced others, and accelerated his career. This led him to create Humor That Works, a company that has helped 10,000+ leaders in over 100 organisations—including IBM, GE, and the FBI—harness humour to lead effectively.In this episode, Drew shares how humour can amplify leadership and why it's more than just a tool for entertainment.

“It's an evolutionary advantage that babies are cute because. if any other person would wake you up that often in the night you'd be upset, but you can do it when it's your kid. I did not know that you could love someone this fully.” The secret is out, Raman's a new dad (again). But he's not alone in his new Fatherhood. So are TWO of his oldest friends and collaborators, Andrew Tarvin (Humor Engineer) and frieMMd of the Pod Rajiv Satyal (THE Funny Indian) - who both happen to co-host ANOTHER podcast with Raman (“Learnings from Leaders”). When we caught up - Raman's new son was 3 months old, Drew's new daughter was 2 months old, and Rajiv's new son was 2 WEEKS old. So we had a chat and an honest reflection to capture this unique moment: What we're experiencing, what's different (from what we expected), how we're sleeping, how our kids are sleeping, how our partners are doing, what's the new routine, and how we're thinking about this strange new world that our kids are being born into. Lots of our listeners have had kids - but we've all forgotten those first few weeks - so this is a minority conversation you won't want to miss... LEARN ABOUT...

Today we get a virtually interview between NY and Struer DK. My guest for this show is Andrew Tarvin the humour engineer. A real Nerd, Yes a nerd in all, math, computer, SW, Star Wars & Star Treck and a stand-up comedian. He describes himself this way: Humor Engineer. The combinations of Stand-up Comedy for 15+ Years and Engineering Computer Scientist, Creating Programms and PM Uses Humor to solve problems at the work space Nerd. Yes all of it. Computer, Math, Dr. Who, Star Was & Star Treck Color: An Orange-peel Orange colour. His favourite color since his childhood. A colour research shows that blue is the favourite color (33%) and orange is on the other side. That might be why he likes orange, not being like everyone else. Secret: Plays Spider Solitaire to the extreme. He enjoys the logic problem solving and uses it as a distraction from all the planing and thinking, like a meditation to help him refilling his energy. Creativity: Solving problems Building unique connections from two or more ideas Mostly to express feelings and emotions Some people are great in just starting to draw, write or similar where other need to have a goal. For For Andrew the first sketch, stand up draft, draft of a book is rarely the thing. He knows from the start that he'll iterate from the first idea to the final product. Creativity and Humour: Andrew is using structure to create unique connections and ways to create humour. Through his different improv experiences he learned that “Structure makes it easier to be creative” You could use: The 10 by 10 List, or Comic Triple Other topics we touched: How Dyson found his solution for the vacuum cleaner Paradox of choice Introvert vs. Extrovert (How they think and recharge) Mind-fullness and recharging Being without a Smartphone for 15min and waiting in a line What he has in common with Frank Sinatra The 2 ways to be a Stand-Up comedian How he tests his jokes on different audience His preparation for the Ted Talk, and How using humour at work, life makes you seem more confident Advice: 1. Better beg for forgiveness than ask for permission. This means take ownership. Don't sit around and wait for something to happen. If you want to be funny be it. 2. If someone read a book about your life. Would anyone read it? Would you read it? What makes it a cooler story? This perspective helps to take better decisions. Imagine you tried many things and failed then you have stories to share. Sitting in front of the TV does not make a great story.

Laughter makes most things better, especially work. Even if we don't invite co-workers into our personal lives, work is always more satisfying when we are comfortable enough to joke around with our colleagues. On the surface this seems simple, but there's actually a lot going on here, and Drew Tarvin wants to talk about it.Humor helps us get more and better work done.

He talks about the research behind why humor is so effective. And he lays out a simple three-part framework anyone can use to gain all the benefits of humor at work. This means you'll work more like a human!

In this episode of The Absolute Advantage, Andrew Tarvin discusses a powerful shift in mentality that can generate positive momentum in the workplace and the direct benefits of integrating humor into your communication. You can use humor to get your team to pay attention, and if you do that consistently people want to experience it in your meetings.

Tune in to this week’s episode of The Absolute Advantage podcast to learn how you can start implementing strategic humor to make a difference in the workplace.

Thom Singer showed up at a comedy open mic night in March 2018 (at age 51). Nervous as hell, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. A friend, who is a comic, pushed him to give stand up a try. When he was younger Thom had wanted to do stand up, but never had the guts to try it. But in his 50s his motto is "Try New Things", so when invited to accompany Drew Tarvin to an open mic in New York City, he said YES. He was not great (but he did not bomb). But it was a solid push out of his comfort zone. Thus he decided to keep with it. He committed to doing 100 open mic nights to see what he would learn. He is not at 50 open mics, and has performed in two comedy shows (was even paid once).  But more than the comedy, the experience is teaching Thom about business and life. The learning is huge.  Comedy is the hardest use of the spoken word. With over 800 professional speeches and 452 podcast episodes, Thom is not shy about being in front of people, but doing stand up has been hard. And he has bombed a few times. But spending time with comics is teaching him things about business. In this episode he talks about four of those things: 1. Work hard. The comics that make it work hard. They do not half-ass even an open mic night. They put in the time to ensure they are prepared and they treat their comedy as a real job. 2. Craft the details. The success is in the small things. The best comics will work on fine tuning a joke time after time. They realize that good enough is not the answer. 3. Never say die. 100% of the people who quit never make it to the top. If you want to succeed you keep going. 4. Try New Things. This is Thom's life motto. He sees it in the best comics. They try new jokes and new ways to tell them. If you are not satisfied with your results, change your actions.

This must be some kind of a joke.  "Humor That Works"? Well, it's not a joke -- even though we launched this minisode on April Fool's Day - which ALSO happens to be the release date of (AN)DREW TARVIN's new book aptly titled "Humor That Works: The Missing Skill for Success and Happiness at Work". Click the link above to grab yourself a copy! "The funniest business book I've ever read." says Luann Tarvin , HR manager and Drew's mom. Listen to this minisode plucked from the original conversation between Drew and Lou deemed to be a true Thrive LOUD classic by Lou, Drew and both of their mothers. And a special shout out to Lou's mom, who coincidentally and ironically, acted as a career counselor for Drew Tarvin.  When she learned that Drew was going to focus his career on helping instill humor into the workplace, she laughed.      *** Connect to Lou Diamond: www.loudiamond.net Subscribe to Thrive LOUD: www.thriveloud.com/podcast
