What if the best way to connect, inspire, and even heal, was through laughter?
In this episode of Scaling Up Success, Ryan Van Ornum chats with Mel Austin, a comedian, keynote speaker, and founder of Laugh2Success. With over 30 years in clean comedy, Mel has turned humor into more than a performance, it’s a way to help people feel better, connect, and grow.
From corporate workshops to military outreach, Mel shares how he reinvented his career during the pandemic, uses yoga and emotional intelligence to stay grounded, and even leans on AI to sharpen his craft. He also talks about the joy of helping people tap into their inner child and the power of laughter to lift stress and spark creativity.
If you want a conversation that’s equal parts funny, heartfelt, and inspiring, this episode is for you.
