In this episode, I take a deep dive into the book Humor, Seriously, and share some amazing insights that will help you become funnier in your personal and professional life. We’ll explore the principles of humor, including the significance of heart and misdirection in-jokes. We’ll also cover the rule of three, analogies, and specifics, and discover the importance of practice and signature stories in developing humor. But we won’t stop there! The author also provides valuable advice on balancing gravity and levity and warns us against offensive humor. So, if you want to level up your humor game, then this is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss!
