NaRon starts off by recounting his journey in public speaking and his influence from various comedians. The episode then guest stars Leanne Linsky, a comedian turned entrepreneur and founder of Plauzzable. Leanne explains the distinction between improv, stand-up and sketch comedy before diving into her business journey. She highlights the importance of understanding one's target audience when building a business and how she implemented this in designing Plauzzable. Through Plauzzable, comedians can control their schedules, have access to virtual stages, decide their ticket ranges and even promote themselves.
