Humor: Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park – Interfanatic Customer Spotlight

“When humor goes, there goes civilization.”
– Erma Bombeck

A week later, and things are much as expected. That’s why it’s a great time to have a sense of humor.

I have to keep going back to these people I deeply respect, despite their decision to continue to throw our country into chaos.

After talking with a few this week, it seems it’s not serious. “Yeah, he’s terrible, I’m not sad he lost.” Others echo: “Yeah, let’s just make sure the votes get counted fairly.”

I think everyone can get behind that. Of course everyone wants the legal votes counted and the illegal ones discarded. Even if it doesn’t go their way, that’s what everyone wants.

So, back to the sense of humor: Erma Bombeck. She’s a funny lady! And if we can’t have a laugh with each other, at each other, what’s the point?

That’s certainly how Tom Malloy handled his business after a ridiculous ten-year battle that netted him a ton of money. Because he was able to approach the problem with a sense of humor, in the end it worked out for him.

And that’s what we all have to try to do – it’s only temporary, we just need to laugh once in a while.

Humor: An Interfanatic Quality

Can we have a laugh together? If we can, we’re on the right track. If we cannot, it’s gonna be a long slog.

When I can – without breaking the professional barrier – I try to bring humor into things. It can make the project go so much better!

As was the case with Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park. The assertion was that race cars, from miles away, would kill poppies. Sure.

You have to laugh, right? So that’s what we do.

Fairmont Butte Motorsports Park – In the End, A Good Giggle

Tom laid plans for a beautiful facility. In the end, environmentalists created so much red tape, and so many problems, the project was abandoned. For a massive profit. That’s what’s funny.

And please don’t take this the wrong way – our environment, our Earth, is in trouble. And that’s no laughing matter. Tom works hard in his other businesses to protect Mother Earth. But race cars kill poppies? That’s just funny. Sure, if they drive over them. But if they’re miles away, the sound of a race car will not kill any poppy.

We created a beautiful website for the project. We were there, to watch the project progress. I remember even going to a couple of county hearings about the project. And we watched it all fade away.

Tom is a great proponent for motorsports and motorsports history, as his family is deeply rooted in the Los Angeles motor racing story. He was excited to carry on that tradition. And he did and does, but not through FBMP.

Getting hacked is not fun. It’s not funny. We’ve been there before, and I’m sure we’ll be there again. No matter what you do, if the hacker wants in badly enough – it’s like any other kind of criminal – they’ll find a way in.

But we reduce the hacking and the issues that come from it with decades of experience and best-practices.

That way, with us on your team managing your website, there will be more laughs to have, and fewer frustrations. It is our pleasure to help! Use our experience.

Interfanatic: Keeping Humor

Why don’t you and I have a laugh? We can talk business, too. And that can be very serious. But let’s not remember to keep things enjoyable with a good joke or two.

I was driving home the other day after a very long day with a client. And I saw this – what seemed to me to be a light at the end of the tunnel. That’s what humor is – it can light the way during even the most stressful of times. And, I’m reminded of just what a pretty place I live in.

Humor: Storybrand Consulting – Interfanatic Customer Spotlight

Customer Spotlight, Partners

“There is nothing like a gleam of humor to reassure you that a fellow human being is ticking inside a strange face.”
– Eva Hoffman

Humor reassures the humanity we see in others. And goodness, isn’t it a good time to see some humanity.

But to me it’s a reminder to show our own humanity by sharing a little humor. It might be what helps us laugh in the good times, or what helps us cope in the worse ones. Either way, it’s a necessary requirement. And, as Langston Hughes said last time we featured this Interfanatic Quality – it can really break the ice.

How can you bring more humanity to your dealings? It’s been the challenge before me all week. It’s tricky business.

So next time you hear one of us crack a really corny, wince-inducing joke, just remember – we’re only human. And maybe that was the point.

Humor: An Interfanatic Quality

As we reflect on twenty years of working with great companies here in Southern California and around the world, some of the best reflections have been those filled with laughter.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Dull doesn’t work for us, nor does it work for our business. It’s much better to have fun with the people you work with. So, we focus on bringing joy and fun – and humor – to the memories we make.

Some clients are all about business. Some appreciate a good laugh. Our favorites are the ones who pay us. But right after that, it’s the ones who share a laugh now and again.

In today’s cancel culture, you have to be very careful of what kind of humor you expose important people to. It’s a delicate balance. But the ones in synch with your balance – those are the ones to keep around.

Storybrand Consulting: Humor Skillfully Applied by from Tom Neveril

Many of the best memories are filled with humor.

As Tom Neveril knows, that can be a secret to marketing success.

Tom dives into the story behind each small business and corporation he works with, and tells that story in a relatable way. And, of course, the best way to relate to other humans is through humor.

So Neveril knows humor well. And he uses it to the advantage of the companies he consults with. By making his clients companies more human with humor, he’s able to bring them more customers, and more money.

Everybody wants to do business with a brand they connect with. With a brand they understand.

Neveril keyed into this fact well quite some time ago. And now he’s able to use it every day to bring in more customers for his clients.

“Everybody wants to do business with a brand they connect with. With a brand they understand.“

As a result, Tom Neveril has been very successful with his agency in the West side of Los Angeles.

It was our pleasure to work with Tom a bit ago, helping him get his website working. Tom is one of our favorite kinds of customers – he’s needed help here and there through the years, and he knows he can always trust us to get it done. He keeps coming back.

What the heck is funny about Major Kong riding a nuclear bomb like a bucking bronco to global annihilation? If you don’t know, please see one of my favorite comedy films, Dr. Strangelove – Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb. A Kubrick masterpiece.
