A good friend of mine, Neil Mullarkey (yes, that’s his real name), is one of the funniest people I know. He, Mike Myers, and a couple of other guys founded the Comedy Store Players (an improv comedy group) in London. I have seen Neil perform dozens of times. Always fantastic! I even spent a day training with him. Now I am funny(er). His latest comedic character is the “gansta motivator,” L Vaughn Spencer, also known as L Vo. He also has a new book based on this character (I am eagerly waiting for mine to arrive from Amazon). I know many motivational speakers. After a while, it is hard to take some of them seriously. That’s why L Vo is so much fun. The Sunday Telegraph in the UK said, “(L Vo is) the perfect antidote to the endless bogus management consultants and coaches who ply the corporate circuit.” Hopefully they aren’t referring to me!

Brilliant! Love the part about motivation! Thanks for sharing. You might enjoy some of the darker British humour: “Human Remains” is excellent at making find of some really out-there people.
