Greg Shwem Talks What It's Like to Be A Standup Comedian

While his fellow comedians toiled in smoky comedy clubs, Greg switched his focus to the corporate market. For the past 20 years, he has traveled the world making Fortune 500 companies and professional business associations laugh at themselves, in the process earning the label, “King of the hill in the world of corporate comedy” from the Chicago Tribune. Greg has appeared in 48 out of 50 U.S states and multiple foreign countries. He considers shows in Vienna, Austria, Poznan, Poland and Cuzco, Peru among his favorites.

“Laughter is a universal emotion,” Greg says. “No matter where I am, and who is sitting in front of me, I relish having the opportunity to provide that emotion.”

Greg’s unique ability to write material exclusively for this audiences and perform without resorting to foul language or offensive subject matter has landed him appearances on Comedy Central, VH-1 and the Arts & Entertainment Network. He is a sought-after emcee for corporate events and opening act for musical stars such as Keith Urban, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, his son Enrique and many more.

Greg has also given his time and his humor to multiple charitable, religious and philanthropic organizations, including the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, and the United Methodist Church. His ability to connect with people of all ages, races and backgrounds lead to the creation of his travel web series, A Comedian Crashes Your Pad, featuring hilarious segments of Greg staying in home sharing properties located in the cities where he is performing.

“I’ve learned there are a lot of very good, very friendly people in the world, who enjoy welcoming strangers into their homes and sharing their lives,” Greg says. “I may entertain strangers from the stage, but this is a chance for strangers to entertain me as well!”
When not on the road, Greg resides in the suburbs of Chicago where he is a devoted husband and father to two grown girls. His family live became the subject of his first book, Text Me If You’re Breathing: Observations, Frustrations and Life Lessons from a Low-Tech Dad.” In 2015, Greg authored a second Amazon bestseller, The Road to Success Goes Through the Salad Bar: A Pile of BS (Business Stories) From a Corporate Comedian.

Kent Alexander was the Presidentially-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia during the 1996 Centennial Olympics. After the bombing on July 27, 1996, he spent hundreds of hours working closely with the FBI to find the terrorist. Initially, the media identified Richard Jewell as the culprit. Ultimately, Kent personally wrote and hand-delivered Jewell’s clearance letter. He kept a journal the entire time.

Six years ago, he teamed with former Wall Street Journal editor Kevin Salwen to explore the Olympic bombing story and the three bombings that followed. After five years of research, they penned The Suspect as a character-driven historical nonfiction book focusing on three main characters: Jewell, the colorful blonde bombshell reporter who broke the story, and the crusty FBI agent with a dark past who made the case that wasn’t. Midway through they weave in an additional character: the real bomber.

In 2019, Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to The Suspect for Clint Eastwood’s movie “Richard Jewell movie,” and brought both authors on as consultants. Following its national release, the movie will be out this month on Blu Ray and DVID.

Kent has enjoyed an unusually diverse legal career, beyond his four years as U.S. Attorney. He has served as a partner at King & Spalding law firm; Sr. V.P. and General Counsel of Emory University; General Counsel of CARE (the global anti-poverty organization); Assistant U.S. Attorney; and chief of staff of a U.S. Senate campaign. A graduate of Tufts University and the University of Virginia School of Law, he lives in Atlanta with his wife, Dr. Diane Alexander. They have two grown daughters.

David Binion is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) researcher at Georgia State University. He has worked on projects such as NLP or language recognition and is spreading his knowledge out to others through LinkedIn articles as well as other platforms. 

 Binion says that one of the most common topics for people to bring up is "Will we really have to worry about Terminators” (Terminator is a type of Hunter-KIller designed to terminate other life forms. Terminators are built by an artificially intelligent computer called Skynet in order to wipe out the remains of the human race.)

He believes current concerns are more important, such as the impact of machine learning on privacy and the impact of the government on its own citizens as opposed to foreign powers.

David also believes that many AI concerns are over-hyped and every problem within computer science has a solution, even if that solution is just being concerned and keeping a level of focus to ensure the problem cannot come to pass.

Music of Cuba
What makes Cuban music unique is it’s instruments, performance and dance. It comprises a large set of unique traditions influenced mostly by west African and European music. Due to the syncretic nature of most of its genres, Cuban music is often considered one of the richest and most influential regional musics of the world.

For instance, the son cubano merges an adapted Spanish guitar, melody, harmony, and lyrical traditions with Afro-Cuban percussion and rhythms. Almost nothing remains of the original native traditions, since the native population was exterminated in the 16th century.

Since the 19th century Cuban music has been hugely popular and influential throughout the world. It has been perhaps the most popular form of regional music since the introduction of recording technology. Cuban music has contributed to the development of a wide variety of genre and musical styles around the globe, most notably in Latin America, the Caribbean, West Africa and Europe.

This podcast has been created for all lay and professionals who wish to help people in need of help to effectively cope with anxiety, depression, frustration and stress without the use of drugs.

Regardless of whether you’re listening because you have an issue or you are in a position to help others with their issues, the use of Attitude Shifting™ will be empowering for everyone.

We’ve concluded that most of the self-help books and tapes are missing a crucial step…a step that you and they must take in order to achieve the relief and controlled order you and they desperately seek.

They’ll read the latest book, listen to the most popular TV Guru, often pop the most recently advertised pill endorsed by the pharmaceutical companies who make them (frequently with positive benefits).

They will try various methods offering ‘exercises’ designed to reduce the painful symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and frustration, many of which result in notable relief. But in practically all cases the relief that comes from symptom reduction is short lived. Underneath is a feeling of overwhelming ‘stuckness’ as the person feels trapped in a state of ‘negative inertia.’ What’s happening?

Our answer is: You are simply looking in the wrong direction for the answer to your concerns. You believe that the surface issue (i.e. losing your job) is your primary problem whereas it is actually a symptom of a deeper problem which is your negative attitudes towards the accompanying overwhelming emotional reactions to your surface issue (i.e. feeling trapped – unable to act due to immobilizing panic anxiety).

To obtain long term mastery over the feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration, and stress you have to assume the responsibility of addressing causes not symptoms by making a CHOICE to change your ATTITUDE. To do so you must listen to this podcast and try the exercises.

Jazz has had a major influence on most popular music genres in the 20th century — rock, hip-hop, Latin…the list goes on and on. Having an understanding of jazz will give a music connoisseur a deeper appreciation of whatever their favorite genre happens to be.

Jazz perfectly encapsulates the American ideal of collaboration mixed with individuality, and its history is really the history of the country. Born from the music of African-American slaves, it intertwines with so many different facets of modern American life – movies, dance, art, literature, and of course, race. Thus, an understanding of jazz will provide the student of history a fascinating window into 20th century America.
