Most would argue trust, but David Nihill is certain it's humor. I think I agree with David. He is the master of causing a ruckus among the crowd after a show, allowing them to feel as one with his message ultimately channeled through hilarity and the assassination of ‘boring.' Oh yea, he's fundamentally teaching others how to do the same thing. If you want to take your audience to another level, David is your new Daddy. He might not change your diaper, but he sure will spank you into success if you need it. He's a comedian and a public speaker geared to helping others transition from the struggle of feeling terrified in front of an audience to walking around with massive fists pumping in extreme satisfaction, just as he did. Like most of us, he found his corporate job so terribly boring that he was falling asleep without even having a reason to feel tired. Enough was enough, and he established Funny Bizz to help others like him create the life they love, full of laughter and excitement. He's traveling around the world, running his conference, writing books and dominating so much it's funny. See what I did there? Awesome episode. Creative Influences The 10,000 Hour Rule by Malcolm Gladwell Kenny Robinson James Altucher's How to Self-Publish a Bestseller: Publishing 3.0 Tim Ferriss' The Four Hour Work Week J. Jacobs One hour to create something, with anyone... "I love everything that Tim Ferriss has put together so I'd love to pick his brain on a lot of stuff." To defeat Godzilla with his talents... “I'd default to my stereotypical advantages and bring him to an Irish back, feed him way too much Guinness and wait until he falls asleep drunk.” Advice... We are hardwired to remember story. If you give me a number of facts in any way, it is not as memorable when you present those facts and bundle them as a story. Brevity is levity. Get to the point quicker. Make your story relatable so you can find your own voice quicker. Just get started. Whether it's your own blog or something, you just need to get some content out there. If you have self-confidence issues, do it under a fake name. When you find something that you are passionate about, there's no more getting burned out, you just love doing it. The line that separates work and passion blurs into one that you just get excited about with what you are working on and get lost in it.

David Nihill is the founder of FunnyBizz.co, an entrepreneur who has been featured in Inc., Forbes, and Fast Company among others, and author of Do You Talk Funny? 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better and Funnier Public Speaker. Prior to writing Do You Talk Funny?, David had been deathly afraid of public speaking. His solution? Spend one year as a standup comic - a sort of "jump in the deep end of the pool to learn to swim" approach. What grew out of this experience was not only great advice on how to overcome the fear of speaking but how to actually master the art. What David and I talk about in today's broadcast: David's background leading up to comedy Why David chose standup comedy to overcome his fear of public speaking (versus, say, Toastmasters) What inspired David to apply comedy to business How David developed his initial idea into an ecourse on Udemy (and his process for turning that course into a bestselling book) The launch of his bestselling book, Do You Talk Funny?
