Thank you for posting this. He's amazing. Was also late for work because I got stuck in the YouTube rabbit hole...so real...I love his field of expertise.

Yes I bet that's where they met. I just saw an interview where he was talking about he went to clown school. But like the original comedic clowns, like how he gets people to say dumb shit. I can't explain it but making society the joke because what is really funny is truth. I love his deadpan inappropriate humor. I'm not offended. I didn't know she trained in that also. That is so cute. Thank you

Fun fact: the actress Isla Fisher (Boratโs wife IRL) went to clown school in Paris. I was surprised to find out they actually have those, and some other cool actors graduated from there. Anyway, I think thatโs part of what makes her so funny (and maybe she taught Borat some mannerisms...like making sexy time?? ๐) and sheโs gorgeous....and she writes childrenโs books!

Love this guy's energy. You want to be around it. Excited ... Wow. Nice. I can see that's why I like your energy. He is talking about using your hands and being just really animated. I get it, but when I get animated I worry I'm being too much. But then listening to someone like this I realize that I'm just infront of the wrong audience. You have to find people that can see you and your value. They can see your star. Also, people are envious and may show contempt for that excited energy because they are negative and see you as too much. I'm fucking over it. I'm tired of hiding my star, because of other people. A dream I have is to perform and be way extra. But I have surrounded myself with very much people not interested in really Pershing that, that is not real, no one makes it. I do have a great friend who also is a shining star and I tell him all the time " I see your star baby" . He worked in the entertainment feild- for years, got on drugs and is sober now. I'm like this is it, this is our time to do something, I don't care If no one sees it, let's do it for us and just put it out there. Ofcourse if terrified people will judge me and say I can't sing or I'm not funny or I'm too much. But honestly I am so just lusting to find my audience of people that get it that will like my humor. I'm just like fuck it. My friend and I live in different areas, so it's not like we can skip over and record anything. I'm like get your ass over here!!!! I have been researching lighting, microphone, production. I would love to figure out editing and I guess I will have to, but that is not my gift. I want to do it, I want to throw myself out there. One day I'm just going to hit the button for a live video ๐...I dunno. I'm also a super private person, I don't know how to handle that part. I am the show I am willing to expose myself. But my personal life is never on the table. How do you do that? It's so cool to see the artist comedians coming up from social media. I just want to find my niche, it's my dream. Yikes.. blah blah blah . This guy has great energy.. I need that shoved up my ass. Courage. Anyway I appreciate what you are doing, you like to do many different outlets and sometimes that may not mesh to other people. But I get it. I want to dip my toes in many genres and balance that. I would love to write silly songs or skits for children, hire me sesame street๐. I like singing , I'm not the best but it makes my heart happy. I like creating, I really enjoy being the ditzy blonde. I like being sexy..and that kind of inappropriate humor I can't figure out how to balance with also anything child friendly...๐. I guess I'd have to choose. Anyway, you're really good at the avenues you have shared, you have a great personality. I'm just blabbering along sorry๐

I looove Jason Sudeikas and that Ted Lasso is so pure and delightful. Iโm only two episodes in and Iโm so hooked. Itโs a show about sport ball, which means Iโm waiting for it to squick me out at some point but it really feels like Iโm going to love this show, so far. The only other sport ball series Iโve loved is Friday Night Lights (not a comedy, but beautiful storytelling, so well written)
ANYHOO I know thatโs not what this post was about but this is my response. I will give this strategy a try ... I alternate between excited and nervous a lot lately snd it plays havoc with my energy. Thanks so much for sharing. ๐๐๐

That was great! It reminded me of a pep talk from a band director from when I was in high school. We can choose how to interpret sweaty palms and breathing faster and racing heart. We can choose to be excited! ๐

It works!!

Yup, yup! So true - I picked this up from your job interview audio, and it totally changed my perspective. I attribute part of my success to that, the energy I brought to the situation. Iโve been using your other bits of wisdom to get by since (like focusing on whatโs within my control). Iโve also been learning about emotional fluidity - I think actors use that concept/technique too? ๐

I may as well try this next time I have a job interview. I don't think my brain is gullible enough to believe that it is excited but still worth a shot!

If I tell my brain weโre excited itโs going to misunderstand the context and then everything is going to turn out worse. And way more awkward. Thatโs the nature of our relationship.

Iโm fine with talking to people one-on-one, and I do all right in small groups of about 4 or 5 people. But I hate giving presentations to large crowds, which is something I had to do during my Bachelorโs degree several years ago.<br><br>One thing that helped ease my nerves, especially while I was speaking to the crowd, was smiling. This might not work if your presentation is about a grim topic, but if youโre presenting research findings or a work proposal or really anything that isnโt gloom-and-doom, smiling can help you switch from "nervous" mode to "excited".<br><br>Plus no one smiles when theyโre about to shit a brick of fear, so smiling will also fool your audience into thinking that youโre totally in control of the situation and all is right in the universe ๐ค๐

Retrain your brain! Fascinating ๐ก! Will experiment with this.โค๐

This makes so much sense & I think itโll be helpful around this time. For everyone, really. The mind is such a magical thing. Thanks for sharing this! Fun fact, some Irish lads (or is it just one?) are inner peace merchants. Itโs part of the package deal. ๐โค๏ธโ๏ธ
