Red Sage introduces Andrew Tarvin, the globe's numero uno "Humor Engineer." Yep, that's a thing. Imagine a cross between Elon Musk and your favorite stand-up comedian. He's on a mission: make people laugh AND work efficiently.

It's like multitasking, but funnier. Having sprinkled giggles in over 200 organizations, from the brainy boffins at Microsoft to those snazzy folks at P&G, Andrew combines his "serious" Procter & Gamble project managing days with his nights of making people snort out their drinks as a comedian. Not only is he a best-seller, but he's also rubbed shoulders with The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and even strutted his comedic stuff on TEDx.
