This is the first time I’ve had a comedian on this podcast and it was such a treat! Dusty Slay is currently in Nashville and has been on shows like Comedy Central, The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. What I love about Dusty is how he has shown leadership in his life despite not being in a corporate world. This goes to show that leadership is not only about leading other people but also leading yourself. Where to find Dusty Slay:Website: dustyslay.comTikTok: @dustyslayIG: instagram.com/dustyslayWe're Having a Good Time podcast: dustyslay.com/podcast-1Tour dates: dustyslay.com/tour-datesToday’s key takeaways:[0:00] Intro[0:36] Episode intro[2:37] Does Dusty do virtual comedy? [4:42] On getting his A-game with a small or “dead” audience[7:20] Dusty’s history[12:24] How he handles his “off” days[14:45] How did Dusty get the Jimmy Kimmel show[18:43] What it feels to do the late-night show? [23:16] How Dusty remembers all his jokes during an hour show[24:35] On preparing or creating his material[27:18] On getting hecklers [30:15] What happened after the Jimmy Fallon show[32:19] Dusty’s shows late October - December 2020[33:38] Where Dusty sees himself 3 years from now[38:30] Challenges Dusty encountered[40:06] The comedy community[40:27] We’re Having a Good Time podcast[43:19] Why Dusty doesn’t look too far into the future[47:05] Advice on people who want to become a comic[49:19] Where to find Dusty Slay[51:43] OutroText LEADER to 617-393-5383 to receive The Top 10 Things That The Best Leaders Are Doing Right NowFor questions, suggestions, or speaker inquiries, contact me at john@lauritogroup.com.
