Hardly ever — well, nearly never before — have we ventured into the mysterious world of behind-the-scenes shots of Jeffrey watching Rona. Wait — no, she doesn’t, because we thought her camera was recording.

Jeffrey, ever the visionary, stayed with the wide-angle shot while Rona delivered straight to the camera that wasn’t running.

In any case, THIS episode is about Networking. Our never-quit, never-surrender hosts cover everything from the golden moments to the gloriously awkward, all in eleven minutes flat.

From staking out the most strategic position in the room to how to convey respect without tripping on your own name badge, we’ve got you covered with memorable tips that might actually work in real life.

So, join us, listen in, pass it on, and jump on the bandwagon with Biz-Souls! Because networking may not always be working… but we sure are!

Strap on your jingle bells and loosen those ugly sweaters — Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler have crash-landed into your holiday spirit like two mistletoe misfits on a mission!

In this delightfully absurd episode, these Festive Facilitators of Fun brave the wilds of workplace joy. (Side note: Jeffrey’s face looks like someone asked him to smile for a selfie he didn’t approve — yet somehow it adds to the holiday charm.)

They unwrap the power of micro-joy moments like mischievous elves on candy cane crack — sprinkling insights about coworkers, leadership expectations, and yes… dogs (because of course they agree on dogs). Between stockings of helpful tips and heaping spoonfuls of glorious hypocrisy, they hunt down the joy killers lurking in office cubicles everywhere.

This episode is lovingly dedicated to Roscoe, Rona’s legendary four-legged companion who has bounced onward to the great dog park in the sky. We feel the feels — and we play through them.

So, pour some eggnog, crank up the laughter, and subscribe for more Biz-Souls antics — because who needs another round of MASH reruns when you’ve got this level of holiday hijinks?

Who says you can’t have fun at work anymore? Not your hosts Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler, and certainly not Kevin Hubschmann—the guy who literally sells laughter as a service. That’s right: he turned comedy into corporate wellness before it was cool.

Kevin set out to be a police officer. But then Georgetown University happened and somewhere between marketing classes and open-mic nights, he realized the only thing he wanted to arrest was boredom at work. And if paying off college loans with comedy seems absurd… well, that’s basically Kevin’s business model.

‘Feedback equals failure!’, right? Or is it ‘Failure equals feedback!’ No matter, it all leads to applause, giggles, and comedy. Forget “HR Required Training” — Kevin brings song, improv, and those mysterious messages tucked under seats for engagement. No, they aren’t packages from Poughkeepsie.

With a doctor for a dad and nurse for a mom, Kevin grew up where ER meets SNL—medical chaos and comedy gold, served bedside-style.

Dive into the subtle (but hilarious) difference between:

Stand-up comedy – where you bomb alone on stage.

Improv – where an entire team bombs together (but earns bonus points for trying).

Want psychological safety at work? Kevin literally wrote the playbook on it — patching serious development with belly laughs and “yes-and” mindsets that make every meeting feel like Whose Line Is It Anyway? (minus the cattiness… mostly).

So, go ahead, like, subscribe, share with a friend… maybe you’ll be our one-millionth subscriber and win… bragging rights?

Bonus fact: Did you know the average human heart beats about 3 billion times in a lifetime? If Kevin had a dollar for every laugh he’s created… he’d still probably be paying off college loans.

Laughing isn’t just fun — it’s a strategy of Laughing in Development.
