Lisa David Olson has over two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on the benefits of humor and tips from the stage to more effectively communicate in real life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9. Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been. Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments. Comedy album of actual telemarketer calls on iTunes: Phun on the Phone.

Cameron Hughes -the interruptor, the energizing King of Cheer who "shows up"
"I needed to do something to celebrate - I showed up." Speaker, Energizer, Author, Interrupter, King of Cheers . . . . Cameron Hughes.
This Canadian crowd-pleaser has been the spark at otherwise ho-hum events for decades!
You've seen him on many JumboTron screens at sporting events, getting up to dance and making the crowd go wild. He generally has a very serious look on his face and it's hilarious and contagious.
He has been around the world and back again, paid by sports teams to energize fans at over 1500 events and counting. He's danced on Tennis Courts, in conference rooms, and all places in between.
Check out his TEDx "Who Are You Cheering For?"
His book is 'King of Cheer; stories of showing up'
Why did he have a large fruit upon his head? Does he worry what other people think ? What about the times his interrupting behavior fell short? What does it mean to actively Show Up?
