“I am a brain, Watson. The rest of me is a mere appendix.” - Sherlock Holmes
We are rolling quick into the last few weeks that are available to register for the AATH annual conference. You won't want to miss out on this opportunity to learn, laugh, and be around people who get the joke! You can get details about the conference at www.aath.org. It's the 4th through the 7th of April so hurry up and get it done!
Are you ready to get your mind blown? Then prepare....because on this episode I'm talking with the incredible Ann Betz about humor, your brain, and your brain on humor. Is that a duplicate or two different topics? You'll have to listen to find out!
Ann is one of our AMAZING speakers at the conference this year. She doesn't share her keynote in this interview but gives us a teaser about what you can expect from her in solid content.
ENJOY!
