Welcome to Life in the Leadership Lane where I am talking to leaders making a difference in the workplace and in our communities. How did they get to where they are and what are they doing to stay there! Buckle up and get ready to accelerate in the Leadership Lane!

In this episode of Life in the Leadership Lane, Bruce Waller talks with Mike Goodwin — professional comedian, keynote speaker, content delivery coach, and “Bowtie Comedian” - about finding purpose through laughter, the discipline behind comedy, and the impact of humor in leadership and life.

From his early days in Camden, South Carolina, to serving in the U.S. Army, to discovering his calling in comedy at a church New Year’s Eve service, Mike shares a journey filled with perseverance, preparation, and purpose. Whether on stage, in the workplace, or at home, Mike’s mission is clear: to unify people through laughter.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

Growing up in Camden, SC, and learning to use comedy to cope with stress.
The spark: wanting to make his mother laugh.
Four years active duty in the U.S. Army and earning a political science degree.
How a 7-minute skit at a church service led to two tough years of refining his craft.
The moment he knew his purpose was to bring joy and laughter to earth. Why he writes material for 100% of the audience — aiming to unify, not divide.
His disciplined writing process: recording every set, generating 5 ideas a day, reviewing openings, middles, and closings.
The “chess player” approach to comedy — open strong, close strong.
How he uses AI tools like ChatGPT for research, insight, and creativity.
“Killing” on stage vs. “killing” off stage — being just as good a person as a performer.
Favorite comedians, venues, and becoming a better storyteller.
How a bow tie became his signature look.
The advice older Mike would give younger Mike: “Good job.”

Quote of the Day:

“Time either promotes you or exposes you.” – Mike Goodwin
