Mental Health. Suicide. Comedy. Those topics don’t seem to flow seamlessly together…unless you’re talking with 10-time TEDx speaker and comedian Frank King. Darren and Mark have a heart-to-heart with Frank, as he reveals his techniques for addressing such a tough topic, including vulnerability and humor. He also shares sage advice for securing, preparing and presenting TEDx talks. This powerful conversation delivers emotional and inspirational information that will help you to deliver an unforgettable presentation.

SNIPPETS:

• Find your idea worth spreading

• Avoid bringing too many ideas

• Don’t say too much about too many ideas

• Sell your idea in 90 seconds or fewer

• Be passionate about your idea

• Your title and subtitle must contain a ‘hook’

• Stand in your truth

• You can’t be inspiring if you aren’t inspired

• Use funny, personal stories instead of jokes

• Making people laugh prepares them for your next serious point

The Podcast is back. I had so much talking with Frank King. He is know as The Mental Health Comedian and we laugh and talk about our mental health challenges.

Frank King BIO:

Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker, a writer for The Tonight

Show for 20 years, and a full-time standup comedian for 37 years.

He’s fought a lifetime battle with Depression and Chronic Suicidality,

turning that long dark journey into 8 TEDx Talks and insights on

Mental Health Awareness (only one other person on the planet has

8 TEDx Talks…Bill Gates).

Depression and suicide run in his family. He’s thought about killing

himself more times than he can count. He’s come close enough to

dying by suicide that he can tell you what the barrel of his gun

tastes like…

He uses his life lessons to start the conversation giving people

permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences.

He believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is

laughter there is life, nobody dies laughing.
