What can leaders learn from comedians? As it turns out—quite a lot.

In this episode of The Culture Coach Podcast, Wendy Brand sits down with Kevin Hubschmann, founder of Laugh.Events and author of the Laugh Rx newsletter, to explore how laughter and improv translate into powerful leadership and culture skills.

Kevin shares his journey from being one of the first employees at a SaaS company to building a career in comedy—and eventually creating team-building experiences that blend fun and professional development. Along the way, he discovered that the very skills comedians use on stage—listening, curiosity, collaboration, and resilience—are the same ones that help leaders and teams thrive.

You’ll learn:

• How laughter and improv build trust and psychological safety on teams
• Why active listening and curiosity are essential leadership superpowers
• What comedians can teach us about failing forward and building resilience
• Simple improv-inspired exercises you can bring into meetings to energize your team
• The connection between laughter, stress reduction, and improved workplace wellbeing

Whether you’re a CEO, HR leader, or team manager, this conversation will inspire you to see humor not as a distraction, but as a tool for culture transformation.
