There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor. Or so said, of all people, Charles Dickens.

We all think of laughter as good times, fun times and not really about work. But what if you could make a living from laughter? Our guest today has done just that.

Von Daniel is the CEO and owner of The Comedy Arena in McKinney, Texas, home of ComedySportzDallas. He is a creative problem solver with training and experience with marketing, branding, graphic design, e-commerce and…comedy.

Stay with us as Von and I talk about how he turned laughter into a full-time, profitable business that’s been around for almost 20 years.
