#40 - Everyday Humor with Ariel Bournes
On this episode of Conversional Speaking, I interview Ariel Bournes (stand-up comic by day, Law Enforcement Officer by night) on the all-purpose and wickedly satisfying tool of humor and comedy in everyday life. In this episode we talk about...
- How a Disney princess taught him humor (3:22)
- Humor as a defensive mechanism (4:37)
- Humor as a coping mechanism (4:48)
- Humor as a teaching mechanism (6:05)
- Learning humor through observation and repetition (7:24)
- How to do improv (9:51)
- What makes something funny (13:05)
- The effects of humor at work (19:00)
- How to bring humor into your everyday life (21:36) - TWIST: You don't have to tell a joke!
- And then we cap it off with three ways to get started at being funny, even if you don't think you're funny! (24:08)
Now that you know how to be funny, want to learn what NOT to do? Grab a free copy of my newest work, The Five Mistakes Speakers Make over at chrislazo.com.
