Don't Just Dip Your Toe Into the Water... Cannonball!
(or just Cannonball for short!)
The big idea of this book is Using the Principles of Comedy in Church, Leadership, and Life.
The only people who have to create fresh new material from scratch every week and then deliver it live in front of a restless audience by that weekend are comedians and pastors.
Don't you think your leadership could be enhanced by learning some of the principles leveraged by comics over the years?
Through Cannonball, I'll be sharing EVERYTHING I learned at The Second City from Tina Fey, Martin de Maat, and other improv gurus.
The time-honored principles leveraged by comedians to create memorable, laugh-out-loud material can be applied to your organization, your leadership skills, and ultimately to how you live your life!
I'm speaking from experience here: I've personally been leveraging these principles over the past 15 years. Sure there have been bumps along the way as I've applied these principles in my ministry and life, but that's part of the regret-free thrill of a cannonball -- you go ALL IN!
I'm really excited about this project. Not only is the Cannonball book coming out later this year, but launching next week is the accompanying freebie Cannonball Podcast! Every month I'll be joined by a guest unpacking what it looks like to use comedy principles in leadership.
My very first podcast guest is a veteran of Saturday Night Live, movies, and Comedy Central who has a TON to share to leaders and pastors about:
- facing your fears,
- how to warm-up before speaking to an audience,
- the personal advice he received from Bill Cosby,
- and how to protect your kids and family from critics.
I'll reveal who this special guest is on our Cannonball Facebook Page this weekend.
