Today, Monday, October 13, 2025, Millionaire University — the top-ranked podcast dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build wealth and live with more freedom — welcomes keynote speaker, comedian, and comedy writer Jan McInnis, also known as The Work Lady, for an energizing episode titled "Make Your Business Fun and Memorable: Using Humor to Connect Through Comedy."

Episode #627 explores how humor in business  can drive branding, connection, sales, and business growth

In this conversation, host Brien Gearin dives into McInnis's unexpected journey from corporate marketing professional to full-time comedian and keynote speaker. Now a sought-after presenter for Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, government agencies, and associations nationwide, McInnis shares how humor can be one of the most powerful yet overlooked business tools.

Her high-energy keynotes on using humor in communication and leadership are also especially popular with sales teams and sales kickoff events, where motivation, memorability, and message retention are critical. McInnis shows sales pros and small business owners how using the right kind of humor helps them stand out from competitors, build instant rapport with prospects, and make their pitch stick.

"Humor isn't about being silly — it's about being relatable," says McInnis. "If you want your audience to listen, remember your message, and actually like you while doing it, humor is your shortcut."

Listeners will learn:

• Why humor increases audience retention and engagement better than facts alone
• How to find "quick humor" in everyday situations — even if you don't think you're funny
• The do's and don'ts of using comedy in professional settings, so you stay appropriate while staying memorable
• How brands and leaders can diffuse tension, build trust, and stand out using light-hearted communication

Known for her practical takeaways delivered with punchlines, McInnis has written for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, radio, greeting cards, and late-night comedy services. Today, she delivers humor keynotes such as "Finding the Funny in Change" and "Finding the Funny in Communications" to organizations across the country.

Millionaire University — whose mission is to make business growth and financial freedom simple and actionable — brings McInnis on to show that success doesn't always require grinding harder.
