NEWSLETTER ISSUE 495
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Victor Frankl
Greetings Comedy Crowders,
The World doesn’t usually bend to our will, and in this unfortunate scenario we are left with a choice. Submit, or change something.
Victor suggests change yourself… but when we take that option we can make things worse. We could downgrade to a more jaded, resentful, maybe even whingey version. It’s an upgrade that’s needed. A few more pixels of wisdom, the odd gigabyte of resilience, and a touch of debugging.

ConnerLogical - the Linkedin guru
Readers who have used Linkedin will have experienced the slightly surreal world of the humble brag.
At The Comedy Crowd we have been working with the wonderfully talented Adam Woollard (aka Shuffle T) to develop a Linkedin character who feels truly at home in this environment. Conner of ConnerLogical advises clients on how to be less boring and more like him. Because “if you’re not confi-dent then you’re confit-duck, and ducks get eaten for breakfast. Or, in some cases, lunch or dinner.”
It’s early days for Conner, but he did recently work with his first client - which is both something to be proud of and extremely humbled by.
