The business skill of comedy. And Standup<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Comedy is what\u2019s for breakfast <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Standup comedy is a critical business skill in Silicon Valley- key takeaways <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ adversarial in nature <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One microphone 60 people is adversarial competitive confrontational and embattled <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ able to listen while talking <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
True story can you talk and read body language <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Read micro facial expressions <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Read tonality and side conversations <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ structure on the fly<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Everyone has a plan for their \u201ctight five minutes\u201d until they meet the market<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Does the audience connect<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Do you adjust your content when the feedback takes you in a certain direction <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ it\u2019s like toastmasters but realistic<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Standup comedy is like toastmasters. Toastmasters even has an exercise <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The humorous keynote<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Toastmasters is free. This WordPress article was free at duck9<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
✅ comedy is the interruption of the expected <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hone the laughs <\/div>\n
Time the unexpected <\/div>\n
Take them through the twists<\/div>\n
Spoil the plotting <\/div>\n
Tidal wave the energy <\/div>\n
Orgasm your listeners brains\u2019<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ Sell 1 Joke<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sell me this pen<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sell one thing once. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You laughed. You wanna buy that joke? $5!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ if your contents any good, people would steal it<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You\u2019ve made a significant step when someone buys one joke from you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ acting chops<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ mimicking delivery and honing supplemental laughs on top of a prior joke<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ callbacks. Call backs are just \u201cexpansion on a prior\u201d. Call-backs earn you calls you back to book you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ bombing. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bombing a set is one micro hair away from slayyyyyyying. #AnxietyMaxxxxxxing<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ #AnxietyMaxxxxxxing<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Doing five minutes. 5 minutes is a practice not a perfection<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ They Don\u2019t Pay You to be an artist, they pay you to distribute <\/div>\n
