Insights from Scott Bloom

Watch our full conversation here: Using Humor to Inspire Your Audience

"It's a business meeting, but at the end of the day, you wanna enjoy being there. And I think sometimes people forget that you have to make an experience where people wanna be there, they're having a good time, and they wanna come back."

- Scott Bloom

"I'm trying to get them to lighten up, to get out of their head. And you know, when you have an emotional response to something, it's more visceral. It's less cerebral."

- Scott Bloom

"They're not expecting that they're gonna come out to come to this meeting and laugh. And so that's a surprise and that allows me to really help the organizers have a better event because I'm shifting the tone right from the beginning."

- Scott Bloom

"Without an emcee, it's just, you know, a blip. You have a meeting, they leave a blip, you have a meeting, they leave. You wanna have some continuity, and you want your audience to really be engaged and really wanna be there."

- Scott Bloom

"You have to feel when you're laughing, you feel connected to the person who's making you laugh. And that's just one way of creating an emotional connection."

- Scott Bloom

"You could be reading the room and not relying on the room. So I know what's going on, but I'm not gonna determine whether I'm doing well based on how they're feeling."

- Scott Bloom
