Iron Sharpens Iron
While working as a shoe salesman at City Sport Philadephia, a friend suggested that he try out the amateur night at the comedy club. Kevin tried out the stand up at the comedy club and the rest they say is history. That experience taught Kevin to:
- Be in an active environment where others are also trying to get things done. Iron sharpens Iron.
- Being Honest is Funny
- Everything has a beginning, middle, and end.
Callback – A joke that refers to one previously told in the set.
- Breaking the ice: Remove the assumption and address the obvious.
- Use humility and self-deprecation to your advantage.
- Simplify it – Dumb it down.
- Use gestures while varying your voice pitch and tonality
- Treat it like a performance.
Actions have consequences
- There is no sense in being present if you are not going to be present.
Lesson from Mum: Stay prepared and be ambitious
Kevin’s mum was driven, she was always preparing, studying, and getting degrees. She taught Kevin the value of being ambitious. What is fueling you? The quest is to always have something to reach for consistently. Don’t force the feeling, it is going to happen eventually.
Facing Fear
The beauty of failure is that it is just a moment in time. Fear only exists until you decide to overcome it. Nobody wants to failure but it is ok as it sets you up to do something better.
Planting the idea seed
It is not about what you are saying but how what you are saying can be built. There is power in your words and what you believe.
Live, Love, Laugh
Accountability begins and ends with you
You’ve got to be willing to do the work, be uncomfortable, and scared, walk into rooms people don’t want to walk into, and be willing to hear no for some time because the yeses are going to eventually come.
