I have had the pleasure of knowing this week’s guest, David Jacobson, almost since my start in AATH.  We’ve served on the Board together, worked conferences together and even started our CHP journey together.  What’s always struck me about David is how, when first meeting him, he is quiet and reserved and then BAM!  He surprises you with his outgoing personality and wicked sense of humor.  Aside from being an incredible speaker and author, he has been doing great work in the humor world.  I encourage you to take a listen to this episode and enjoy what many of us already know and appreciate about David…his intelligence, love of life, and his commitment to making a difference.
