Not all of my customer service stories are about great service. This is a video of me telling a story about bad service I’ve gotten, but don’t worry! I disguise the name of the company so you’ll never know who I’m talking about!

My Painful Christmas History
Christmas has often been a somewhat painful season for me. I grew up in a big household with five kids so my parents were trying to cut corners any way they could.

Explosive confessions
I celebrate Independence Day a lot differently these days since my wife no longer lets me shoot off fireworks. Well, my wife and everybody else that knows me, that is. I used to live in Georgia, where fireworks were illegal for years. Even so, for two glorious nights every year, everybody in the state wantonly […]
But Don’t Take My Word For It
I could sit here and tell you about how much fun we have at my events, or I could step away from the microphone and let my clients have their say!
