Comedian David Horning joins Laughing Matters and teaches us a fresh take on how to reframe even the most difficult situations (hint: make a conscious choice to poke fun at yourself). In this podcast, you'll learn:
- How he went from trying to be a lawyer with a political science degree to waiting tables at New York's finest comedy clubs
- How one improv course where participants were initially resistant turned out to be a huge success
- Overcoming the fear of comedy/humor still present in many organizations (don't say the "C" word)
- His take on the "slap heard 'round the world" at the Oscars earlier this year and its impact on how we perceive humor
