Most of you don’t know this but The Public Speaking Blog is not my first blog. I used to write at a personal development blog titled “Life is too exciting to be bored” and then continued at blogspot with “Life is (still) too exciting to be bored”.

It has a mix of personal rants and lessons learned but I stopped last June. Apparently life became SO exciting that I had no time to blog. Alright you nosy people, stop trying to google for the sites. *grins*

Anyway, one of the most important lessons I have learned in my 25 years (one that has made all the difference) is shared by my ex boss, CH, whom I work for in States. And when I look at all the successful people around me, I am reminded of that particular lesson. It’s one that when you follow diligently will reap unlimited benefits.

Study the successful people. Keep doing what they do until you get the results you want.

This doesn’t just apply to public speaking. It applies to running a business, excelling in studies, and living your life. Everything.

That’s why when I first heard that my friend - Brad Montgomery - is running a humor college, I signed up immediately because I know that I will be receiving exceptional value.

So who’s Brad?

He’s a funny guy… and a very successful comedian and speaker from States.

And he is going to interview six of THE top shelf speakers and comedians in the country. Like what I did in The FAQ Book on Public Speaking, Brad will grill these top talents in the land to get them to divulge their pet secrets, their techniques and tactics for getting laughs from any audience.

When I first learned about the humor college, I knew this will work because it follows a timeless success principle.

Study the successful people. Keep doing what they do until you get the results you want.

In fact that was how Darren La Croix, my mentor and idol, became a world champion in 2000. He learned from the best comedians and speakers. I bet that the other five experts became experts that way too. They stood on the shoulders of giants who are willing to coach them and mentor them, till they succeed.

I know that for a fact because this was what happened to me as well. One of the reasons why I was able to win speech contests in my first year of Toastmastering or be paid to speak in front of people twice my age is because I learned from the best. My mentors were highly successful speakers themselves. They won countless of speech contests and are paid thousands of dollars an hour to coach corporate clients.

So if you were to learn from the six best comedians and highly paid speakers, how far can you go as a speaker? Imagine you — an outrageously funny speaker who can make your audience laugh at your beck and call.

Geez, your audience will love you like crazy. I know I will if the speaker can make me laugh.

In case you don’t know, classes have already started. This week, Brad interviewed the first expert, Doug Stevenson, an actor in Chicago and Hollywood for 16 years! Click here and scroll down to read more about him.

During that one hour interview, I furiously took down pages after pages of notes. It was insane. There were tons of killer tactics, useable strategies and great ideas that he shared which to be honest, I have not heard of. It goes to show how much MORE I have yet to learn and master.

So here’s what I am going to do, to help you decide if this program is for you.

I will reveal some of the lessons I have learned from attending the “lectures”.

I will share with you my experiences of being in the humor college.

I will highlight the strong points AND weak points of the program.

As you can tell, I am going to be very objective about Brad’s program even though I like this guy a lot. I will them let you decide if this program is for you. Sounds fair?

Meanwhile, I suggest you find out more about the humor college.

And look out for my posts with the title “Humor College Review”.

The first post should come to you within the next few days… got to first sort out my notes from the lecture with Doug. Busy busy. But very excited because this humor program is promising.

Ok I am getting ahead of myself. I will stop here.

Talk soon!

Cheers,
Eric Feng
