A Funnier You with Rick Olson

00:00 /

More than just a pretty face. He’s a man of substance with a heart of gold. To top that off, he’s also hilarious.

Rick Olson is an award-winning humorous speaker. Although he was told all his life he was funny, no one was laughing when he gave stand-up comedy a shot. Being “naturally funny” failed him, so he was forced to figure it out or quit. After four years of intense study and after finding an amazing coach, Rick shares what he’s learned, so you, too, can Hook ‘Em with Humor.

Rick has a background in direct sales, IT management, and government bureaucracy. He gained the confidence he needed to try stand up comedy while working at AIG. If they were too big to fail, so was he.

Rick is the author of Hook ‘em with Humor and the creator behind the Funnier You Academy. His clients understand where humor and laughter strategically fit so that they are more influential; experience an increase in sales and productivity; and, strengthen their ability to lead effectively.

Listen in as Rick and host, Karen Nowicki, discuss the power of humor and laughter in the work place.

Humor Wins

This week I sat down with Marshall Chiles, Founder and Dudeman of Humor Wins, a business that helps companies looking to improve team dynamics among their staff. As the owner of one of the first comedy clubs in Atlanta, Laughing Skull Lounge, he has been in the humor business for years. He decided to take his knowledge of comedy to help business people learn to add an element of humor to their client interactions and sales presentations. Humor Wins’ team also provides corporate roast services, adding a memorable, interesting element to company events.

Marshall talked about how they take their clients through the process of learning how to develop some humorous comments or jokes that help disarm prospective customers, facilitating relationship building that can lead to a sale. His team also facilitates team building by teaching self-deprecating humor that can foster better communication and reduce tension among the business’s staff.

He brought along Jeremy Wing, Co-CEO of Payscape Advisors, a merchant services and financial technology company. Payscape Advisors provides an array of services and technologies for companies ranging from online invoicing, an online registration platform for schools and camps, access to AR capital, payment processing, and more. Jeremy shared how he came to know Marshall through providing their payment processing services, ultimately becoming a client of Humor Wins.

I met Kimyung Kim, a comedian and word smith who uses improvisational free-style rapping to provide entertainment services for corporate events. We got a demonstration of his skill with him rapping while we gave him random words he integrated into his lyrics.

If your company is looking to attract young, motivated millennials, reduce turnover, and help build closer relationships among your sales force, executives, and administrative staff, you need to get to know these innovative experts.
