Avish Parashar stops by to talk about improvisation. He and Craig discuss being Indian, using comedy to pick-up women (Spoiler: You can't!) improv as a tool and how being authentic and in the moment can lead to performance magic.

Avish is also hosting a 4 day workshop in Las Vegas Oct. 13-16. Visit http://www.thespeakingschool.com for more information. You can also learn more about Avish at his blog http://www.motivationalsmartass.com and http://www.avishparashar.com.

Tim Mathy, partner at Speak Inc. speakers bureau, offers up a true reality check for speakers wanting to get involved with a bureau. From incessant calls to unsolicited mailings, Tim dispels myths many speakers have about bureaus and let's Craig know exactly what he's looking for in a speaker (hint: What the Client wants!!) and how he prefer's speakers contact him (Answer: He doesn't.) Craig somehow manages to avoid being blacklisted from Tim's Bureau (he thinks so anyway) while asking honest questions. A great interview for new speakers breaking in or looking to get into the business,
