How to be Funny and Why You Should Care | KEITH YACKEY

No one ever accused me of being funny but that doesn't mean I don't see the value of humor and comedy in life and in society in general.

Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Keith Yackey, who over the past couple of years has transitioned from the corporate stage to the comedy stage. Today we talk about why fear keeps us from doing great things, why we as a society need comedians, the power of instant feedback on our path to growth, and how to be funny and why you should care.

KEITH YACKEY

My guest today is my friend, Keith Yackey.

He's been extremely successful in the corporate and event world, building an 8-figure investment firm in just two short years.

But the reason I wanted to have him on the podcast is for his more recent endeavors, stand up comedy. It's something that has always been fascinating (and scary) to me so, to watching Keith go from, comedy newcomer to performing in some of the biggest comedy clubs in the world, has been incredible to watch.

I hope you enjoy today's conversation with Keith as he shares with us how to become funnier and why it's so important.
