The Influence of the Fool | Emma Stroud

How many times a day do you laugh?

Probably not nearly enough. My guest on this show is on a mission to help the world laugh, think and play more.

Emma Stroud is a well-known speaker, entertainer and coach. She's become very well known for her humorous podcast 'Clowning Around', where she interviews guests on interesting topics with a light-hearted twist and an inevitable interruption from the hilarious Barbara. I've had the pleasure of being a guest myself and you can take a listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/episode-46-clowning-around-hidden-tools-with-john-ball/id1499174238?i=1000499011151 There are plenty of other episodes to choose from too.
