Stand up in front of a group. No script. No prep. No rules. This is improv in a way. Its not quite as scary as that, even though that set-up is likely to send many an introvert running in the opposite direction. And in fact, what looks like a completely spontaneous improv situation actually DOES have rules, and there are ways to prepare yourself. Sure, theres no script, but life doesnt have a script, so who needs one?
Ive spoken several times over the
years about the power of improv and how it can be a transformative tool for
introverts. In this episode, I talk to one of the first people to put the
principles of improv together with the world of business.
Bob Kulhan is an Adjunct Professor of
Business Administration for The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University as
well as an Adjunct Professor of Business for Columbia Business School, Columbia
University. He also is the CEO of Business Improvisations. BI is a world-class leader in
developing experiential learning programs for businesses.

If there’s one thing I hear over and over again from my clients, it’s
that they want to overcome procrastination. The web is overflowing with
posts, podcasts and X-step programs to fix the procrastination epidemic
that's running rampant.
But what if the answer wasn't to "fix" it, but to find a way to shift our relationship with it? My guest is Self-Discipline Strategist Rory Vaden. His book Take the Stairs is a #1 Wall St Journal, #1 USA Today, and #2 New York Times bestseller. As an award-winning entrepreneur and business leader, Rory co-founded Southwestern Consulting™ and is founder of The Center for the Study of Self-Discipline (CSSD). His latest book is called Procrastinate on Purpose: 5 Permissions to Multiply Your Time.
Rory is the world’s leader on defining the psychology around modern-day procrastination, called Priority Dilution™ - in fact, he coined the term. He speaks and consults on how to say no to the things that don’t matter, and yes to the things that do.Rory and I talk about the secrets of time multipliers, getting over introvert overthinking, and making friends with procrastination once and for all.

Our world is both hyperconnected and disconnected at the same time.

There are few people who would see the terms "introverts" and "happy hour" and think they would be like two peas in a pod. Yet my guest, Kristen Brown, challenges that assumption and gives us a new perspective on happy hour. It's not about the event itself; it's about the energy it can generate. Kristen and I chat about "The Happy Hour Effect," commitments entrepreneurs make that separate a business from a hobby, and the power of our personal story.
At the end of my interview, I share a few thoughts that members of The Introvert Entrepreneur Facebook community have about happy hours.
Kristen is a bestselling author, keynote speaker and corporate trainer. She’s a two-time bestselling author, widow mom and 15-year corporate America veteran. Her books are “The Happy Hour Effect: 12 Secrets to Minimize Stress and Maximize Life” and “The Best Worst Thing.”
