Description

Time to step back and go old skool on episode 171 of Stranger Connections. Your host, the head weirdo, is sharing a couple of actual recordings of playing with those who would call to pitch a product or service. These are real telemarketers - who seemed to call right when dinner was ready. Names have been bleeped to protect the guilty. Learn more about my book (launching late fall 2023): Spotlight to Real Life; tips from the stage to reignite teams, spark communication skills, and encourage speakers. Dare Zone cards are available too! Grab a deck of fun prompts to use as writing ideas, physical prompts, and even charades. Excellent for road trips, board rooms, and anywhere you feel the need to get into the Dare Zone.www.lisadavidolson.comiTunes: Phun on the Phone with Lisa David Olson (22 Real Telemarketer calls!)lisa@lisadavidolson.com(Practically) World-Famous business humorist, interactive speaker, Multi TEDx speaker, author, speaker trainer and embarrassing mom.

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
