Samtu Palouki takes me through his incredible journey from a nerdy tech kid in Togo, moving to the US without being fluent in English, joining the US Army, the added challenge of the language barrier during bootcamp, isolation & lonliness, to creating short films to boost his comrades' morale - and becoming a viral video star. A story of perseverance, creativity, humor, and creating from the heart.

Here's his first viral video.

Ellen Busch returns for a second conversation and shares her inspiring journey of healing from past abuse through writing her memoir, facing fears of vulnerability, and finding purpose in helping others. Ellen reflects on her 47-year journey of fighting for her self-esteem and self-worth, culminating in the publication of her book. My favorite part is her feeling when she describes the emotional impact of completing the book, comparing it to the shock she felt after her mother's death, and feeling a sense of victory and healing.

GET A TICKET to the July 31 show in LIttleton! I met Stephanie at a Denver event, and wanted to deconstruct her sense of humor - which reminded me so much of Mike Birbiglia. Stephanie recorded this just a few weeks after her dad passed away, and we talk about his influence on her comedy. Stephanie’s journey with comedy began as a child when she learned the power of making people laugh. Eventually she began pursuing stand up comedy in her 30s, married with 2 small children. Nine months after her first time on stage, Stephanie won a trip to the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and has been on the Denver comedy scene for over 17 years. Stephanie is passionate about empowering and coaching speakers and entrepreneurs on how they can add humor to their presentations to create more engagement with their audience. She has developed a Be Funnier! Short and Sweet Coaching Package and she offers motivational speaking on the following topics: Be Funnier! How to Add Humor to Your Presentation and The Importance of Laughter. Stephanie loves dogs, has a recipe for chocolate tofu pie that you will LOVE and can touch her tongue to her nose. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★…
