April is celebrated as “National Humor Month.” It is also the only month of the year that begins with a Fool's Day, a day celebrated in many countries with sanctioned frivolity and pranks ever since the 1500s. So today I want to lighten the moment and read some humorous poetry by Ogden Nash, Philip Larkin, Shel Silverstein, "Anonymous," Pamela Ayres, and Stuart McLean.

In this episode of Uncorked with Funny Wine Girl, I can't say that I have a "guest," because to me, he is and will always be like family. My dear friend Oliver (Ollie) Ord, who I have known since freshman year at Bishop Hannan High School, joins me for a partly serious but mostly fun and funny conversation about what makes us laugh. I had to get a bit nerdy, talking about research, because I want everyone to understand the difference between humor and laughter and how you can use their power in your life.

Business humorist and the author of the new book Laughs On Wry: An Improviser's Memoir. Show notes: https://ww.markgraban.com/mistake54 My guest for Episode #54 is Lisa David Olson a business humorist and the author of the new book Laughs On Wry: An Improviser's Memoir. She's an appropriate guest for today, given that it's the first day of National Humor Month. Later this month (April 12th), my guest will be Art Bell — creator of the Comedy Central channel (which is celebrating its 30th anniversary today). I wish I had an entire month of funny guests… but there's two for you. Lisa is a speaker, author, podcaster (“Stranger Connections“), and creative partner, who loves coffee and pranks! (the exclamation point is hers). In today's episode, Lisa shares her “favorite mistake” of not writing her book earlier because she thought nobody would read it. I think my favorite mistake from the conversation was Lisa talking about a prank at her workplace, a police station, that I'm afraid could get her killed if she repeats it. We talk about those mistakes and topics including: Why are you afraid of scaring the introverts? Humor as her escape from a traumatic childhood Helping businesses (and individuals) reignite their ideas… and their projects — how? Humor as a connector The risk of making mistakes when trying to use humor at work? What are you doing for fun? Humor as a gift vs something that can be developed? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/favorite-mistake/support

Let’s take a Meyer Moment to talk about poultry waterers. It seems like a simple task, to water your chickens, but there are a lot of different watering systems available to you! We thought a simple breakdown of waterer styles may introduce you to new concepts while helping you find the right fit for your homestead or farm. Providing fresh clean water to your flock is vital, but can become a daily chore if your system is not properly set-up, or you can’t find a solution to accommodate your coop. We’ve rounded up different waterers available, to help you find the best fit for your daily routine, while also hydrating your flock!

Who gets to give names to specific celebratory months? Have you ever wondered? For example, April is National Humor Month, National Internship Awareness Month, Inventors’ Month, Jazz Appreciation Month, Cannabis Month, National Alcohol Month, and the list goes on and on. I would like to focus on April as National Financial Literacy Month. Why? Because Tax Day is just around the corner! It’s important to talk to young people about financial literacy. The most valuable thing that young people have on their side is TIME. Just putting away small amounts of money—and starting while you’re still young—will yield amazing results! Show Highlights: Money invested over the long-term will DOUBLE on average every 7 years Diversified mutual funds are best, and it’s essential to get a good financial advisor It doesn’t take a LOT of money—the important thing is to just GET STARTED Delaying by just a few years can make a difference of MILLIONS  Why? Because of the power of compound interest As an illustration, would you rather have $1 million right now OR a penny now that doubles every day for 30 days? At Day 20, you would have $5,242.88 At Day 24, you would have $83,886.08 At Day 26, you would have $335,554.32 At Day 27, you would have $671,088.64 At Day 28, you would have $1,342,177.28 At Day 30, you would have $5,368,709.12 If you invest $100/month from age 20 to age 34, and then no more, you would have invested $16,800, which would grow to $731,822.31 at age 65 If you invest $100/month from age 34 to age 65, you would have only $241,365.32 It’s essential to understand the numbers for financial literacy and get serious about saving money ASAP Find a good financial advisor who helps you invest in a solid portfolio of diversified funds and DON’T watch the market daily. Keep adding to it and watch it over time Albert Einstein said: “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it, and he who doesn’t, pays it. Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe.” Resources mentioned in the episode: Resources mentioned in the episode: "I'm Gonna Need Ice, with Matt" - https://youtu.be/Mnt-Oah8W6k  https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/221320/old-fashioned-cocktail/ Starting Young – The Miracle of Compound Interest https://www.earlytorise.com/starting-young-the-miracle-of-compound-interest/ If You Still Don’t Believe In The Power Of Compound Interest, You Have To See This https://www.moneyunder30.com/power-of-compound-interest Compound Interest Calculator https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/free-financial-planning-tools/compound-interest-calculator
