  Episode #602: Scott Bloom

  Oct 1, 20261h 2m

  Scott Bloom is a comedian, keynote speaker, podcaster, and author who has spent three decades as the go-to name for business humor, hosting and keynoting hundreds of events for some of the world's biggest companies, who keep bringing him back. He's the author of the self-help satire The Atomic Morning Miracle: The Not-So-Obvious Quantum Paradox Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (The Secret: Wake Up 2 Hours Before You Go to Sleep). It's the self-help book for people who hate self-help books, a send-up of productivity culture that lets you laugh at the pressure to optimize every minute of your day while realizing you might not need fixing in the first place. Guiding readers through it is actor Scott Bakula, who wrote the foreword and appears throughout the book as a fictionalized version of himself. Yes, THAT Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise, NCIS: New Orleans). No, really. The actual guy. Scott also hosts No More Bad Events, a podcast that goes behind the scenes of the world's best-run conferences and meetings.
