Podcast: Why I need some humor in my mix.

While traveling in Spain, I noticed something. All the movies I decided to watch on the flight (Bless Air France for giving you about 40 choices even in coach and letting you watch as many as you want on your own private screen) were kind of heavy relationship dramas or romantic comedies, while my brother was laughing with delight at Madagascar 2 next to me. Hmm.

I am thinking that perhaps it is time to incorporate humor into my entertainment queue.

We all need a good laugh. Remember school lunches when laughing was the main portion of the conversation? I think that during this economic trend, we have all been so focused on work and adapting to the new world we now live in that we have forgotten to laugh.

Laughter is the most wonderful stress relief. That isn't a new idea- much like being reminded to take a deep breath, we all know we should but rarely remember to do it.

So, as I haven't interviewed anyone for this week's podcast, I offer instead the Ricky Gervais show which my brother was kind enough to play for me while we were traveling. It's a bit naughty and ridiculous, but I still have learned things from it and it has made me think.

And it reminded me that humor is one of the best ways to make your business stand out from the pack. If you can find a way to bring a laugh into your message, you will be even more enticing to your audience than you can imagine.

A laugh is a gift to the world right now. Let's have more of them. Enjoy Ricky and try to branch out that way yourself...

And... if you know of other funny podcasts, please do share them in the comments. I would so love to have more to listen to and I am sure others would as well.

Remabulous Podcast: Nina Storm on brilliant branded content!

This week, it is my delight to share with you the latest Remabulous Podcast: Nina Storm was so much fun to talk to about her business, The Art of Articulation, which helps business owners talk about their work in an authentic and engaging way.

Nina helps people create effective tag lines, elevator pitches, written content, and speeches to be given live (she even helps with the actual delivery!) Nina believes that your message comes from you and what you love about your business and that this passion should come through in all your communication.

I learned so much from her about how to talk as a business owner during this interview. I hope it is fun for you as well!

To speak with Nina live, jump on the Remabulous teleseminar call on Thursday, June 25th at noon pacific time. For call-in details, RSVP to [email protected]

Podcast: Chris Mooney on being a real live writer, blogger, and speaker. (and what it's really like to be on Jon Stewart.)

If you want to write a non-fiction book, position yourself as an expert, or just dip your toe in the world of what it means to be a professional writer today, this podcast is essential listening.

I was so grateful that Chris Mooney, author of The Republican War on Science, Storm Worlds, and the upcoming Unscientific America (with Sheril Kirshenbaum and due out in July!), for taking the time to talk with me about what it takes to make your living through writing today.

Chris's writing has appeared not only in his books, but also in multiple magazines, newspapers, and on many blogs, including his most recent project at Discover. He is a public speaker, has appeared on Jon Stewart and Colbert, and is bound for even more greatness in the future... I am certain of it.

This week, I had such a great time with the podcast... my friend Catherine Cassidy (far right, above, with me and Jessica Krewson of Design Krew) of LifeStyled came over to chat about what it means to her to support women in indulging in a healthy and fun lifestyle.

Podcast: Carl Sagan on Love and the Universe.

There wasn't a new interview for Remabulous this week, since I was busy having Stella Cheung on the live call. However, a friend referred me to this beautiful inspiring interview with Carl Sagan and I thought that I would share that this week instead.

Happy listening!
