01: Tom Rhodes

Live From Your Class with Jamie Mason Cohen

Tom Rhodes is an American comedian, actor, host and travel writer. He was the star of NBC's 'Mr. Rhodes' in which he played a teacher at a preparatory school. His podcast Tom Rhodes Radio often features comedians and people he meets while traveling. I sometimes hear teachers and people in the business world say that they are not funny. Tom reveals that neither are some of the top comics working today but they find ways to tell stories that move their audiences on an emotional level. Tom talks about what you can you learn from stand-up comedians to improve your next lecture or presentation. I have observed and absorbed Tom's creative process and have what I've learned from him to my own classroom lectures and keynote preparation system.
