Diane Dean Epps, Laughing Our Way Through Aging

As the creative mind behind her “sit-down standup” style of humor writing Diane Dean-Epps has proven that comedy is just as effective from a chair—preferably one with lumbar support and a cup holder—as it is from a standing position. Her humor has found a home in multiple books, including Bangs ‘N’ Botox: My Aging Journey Near, Through, and Out of Denial and Botox, Fillers, & Human Preservatives, the latter essential reading for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and gasped at what time hath wrought. Diane’s career has offered up a bountiful buffet of opportunities—sometimes concurrently—in industries as diverse as media, education, marketing, entertainment, and fitness leading to incredible feats of multi-tasking. This explains her unique ability to deliver a punchline, grade essays, post social media updates, and draft stories as she voices commercials and assumes the plank position for one minute and 22 seconds. Currently residing in northern California, Diane writes and performs in productions that are both planned and—much to the surprise of unsuspecting bystanders—unplanned. Her audiences are (mostly) entertained, and she considers that a solid win.For more information, visit https://dianedeaneppswriting.com.

Eric Dingler, Making Better Leaders to Grow Businesses

Eric Dingler believes the biggest thing holding most businesses back isn't marketing, sales, or AI. It's the founder. He has spent nearly 30 years building and leading teams across churches, non-profits, agencies, and businesses, and he's the author of Hire to Grow. His philosophy is simple: businesses don't scale because founders work harder. They scale because leaders build people who can lead without them. Eric has lived what he teaches. For three years, he ran two businesses remotely while traveling the world full-time with his wife and their four teenagers. Today we're talking about how founders stop being the bottleneck, build teams that create freedom, and grow businesses that no longer depend on them.
