Thank you to Atlas Talent Agency for bringing this about for my beloved and for letting me know. 💜
Brad Venable is a professional raconteur. Nationwide on radio and TV, and worldwide on the web is wh Brad likes geeky compliments. Brad talks for a living.
(1)
He was once described as "holding down the XY...both generations...and chromosomes." Incessantly. You've probably heard Brad's voice at least twice in your life and never even knew it, because Brad's voice is heard on everything attached to a speaker. Somewhere in the world, he's talking right now, and that's oddly comforting. He could be talking somewhere and sleeping at the same time. *mind blow
n*
What Will Rogers said about liking the weather in Oklahoma could apply to someone who said they've never heard Brad's voice: "Just wait." Computer tech, jock-in-exile, comic book collector, music snob, pop culture nerd, and avid gamer, Brad covers about every sub-culture cliché known to man, and can still sound like the don't-dare-call-him-coolest hipster to ever wear clothes ironically. Now that's irony for you. Speaking of irony, he's the national promo voice of Planet Fitness. If you've ever met Brad, you can see why that's ironic. Brad lives most of his life in a box, yet surprisingly was not actually the inspiration for the Alice in Chains song. That was some other guy and also a point that needed clarifying. Brad loves what he does, and does what he loves, with his beautiful wife Katie always by his side. Except when she's at work. Then she's not quite by his side.

Get sleep, folks!

Getting six hours of sleep a night simply isn’t enough for you to be your most productive. In fact, it’s just as bad as not sleeping at all.
Well, this is badass. I liked the first two enough, but this might be the best one by far.

Yeah, we're not all as famous as The Wolf, but there are legal protection ramifications for 'deal memos' in the industry (or lack, thereof). Be sure and consult a legal professional in your home state to see what constitutes a binding contract
