Entrepreneurs might simply enjoy all the labor and hard work, but I am preparing for that blessed day when I can FINALLY say I WON THE GAME and FINALLY celebrate by EATING my victory. That’s what I’m working for after all. My celebratory feast. And so that all my ZW #Hustle does not go to waste, I would like to know what victory tastes like, OFFICIALLY — I mean, maybe I’ve had victory before.
Does it taste like an iced coffee from Parker & Otis?

Or like a peanut butter, banana & honey… WITH BACON!

What exactly does victory taste like?
If I’ve had victory before and I didn’t know what it tasted like was it not still victory? What if I ate it in the woods and only the trees were around to hear me chew? How do you know? How do we recognize victory? How do we EVEN know when we have the right ingredients to make the meal we THOUGHT we wanted?
… But if true victory IS the process of hard work,
… And if my hard work tastes like Iced Coffee and PB&B&H(&B),
… Well, Back to the Hustle!

Full Article: Improv Teaches Life Lessons
As a proud Carolina Alum (1999), I was jazzed to offer another improv workshop at UNC Chapel Hill this week, excited that my workshop had hit the front page of The Daily Tar Heel, and just thrilled to have the writer (Colleen Volz) communicate the life skills that an improv class can help students develop.

Hey Boston! I’m coming to town for the Boston Improv Festival to rock Fritter Kings with Rene Duquesnoy. While I’m exploring Cambridge for the FOURTH time this year, I’ll probably hit up another Brewery Tour, but I’m also teaching an Improv Workshop on Saturday Sept 11, 3 – 5pm.
Organic Group Dynamics with Zach Ward
Learn to improvise seriously funny group games that DESTROY the wooshy grad school performance art pieces you normally do after first beat scenes! Do you want to exploit comedy every time you perform? If you can be disciplined enough to improvise group scenes as an ensemble without speaking imagine the possibilities when you say your hilarious words. Yeah, you. Zach coaches you to focus, listen, heighten, and deliver the funniest possible scenes — As an Ensemble — EVERY SINGLE TIME! (register online)
For my non-Boston readers, I’ve booked a suite at the Hotel Marlowe with Jaime&Rene and JRev so you can expect another flipcam tour (zebra robes and hot tubs GUARANTEED).
