I was driving to Lake Placid, NY a few months back with my girlfriend -the Amazing One Jillian- and we were brainstorming who would be the perfect addition for the TribeUpNYC speaker line up:
- We already had a blogger’s blogger, Geoff Livingston, talking about Attention.
- We had Lena West, the queen of Influence, slated to talk about Influence Expansion for bloggers.
- I was MythBusting the Blogosphere and covering Human Engine Optimization, the arch rival and nemesis of SEO.
- Rob Moore of IML, was talking about Serendipitous Twitter encounters.
- And Dan Cristo was talking about Bloggers as Future Celebrities and how -as an industry- we’re going to get there.
What was missing?
So Jillian suggested we balance all the heaviness of Influence, Attention, Future, and MythBusting, with a healthy dose of funny. And so I called my buddy, Brendan Fitzgibbons, to talk to the thing he loves to talk about the most. Comedy, and what it takes to be funny.
Enjoy.
You can check out Brendan’s blog here.
Brendan is in fact the prototype of the kind of speaker I want to get for future TribeUps. His skill-set is not directly related to blogging, but it’s relevant to blogging. And I think this is something that’s missing from all the existing conferences.
Last word is yours.
