Manage episode 464521009 series 2794518
Greg Schwem began his stand-up comedy career in 1989, transitioning from a television news reporter role during a period when the comedy market was heavily saturated with cable TV shows. Despite these initial challenges, Schwem successfully adapted by merging his comedic talents into a public speaking career that brings humor to the corporate world. His journey highlights the importance of adaptability, as he tailored his material to resonate with business audiences while maintaining sensitivity to diverse perspectives. Through personal experiences like cancer and divorce, Schwem has also demonstrated how humor can serve as a powerful tool for resilience, a theme he explores in his book, "Turning Gut Punches into Punchlines."
