Keynotes
Event audiences don't want to sit and listen anymore.
They want to be part of what happens on stage. Mitch proved this year that this is 100% correct.
Mitch loves entertaining the room while informing. He has been on stage this year every week, from the most recent Purdue tourism conference, SHRM events for HR, all across the medical and hospital world and everywhere in between, even in four countries this year. He even brought back his show, Comedy You Can Dance To, and has that as a hyper exciting conference keynote. He is on fire!
Three programs are leading the way.

Live AI and improv
Decision Heist
Your new boss is AI.
Three audience volunteers step on stage, and their new boss is an AI. It's outrageously confident and sure of every call it makes. It hands them a real business challenge, and it goes hilariously off the rails.
What the room discovers
Then Mitch changes the rules, and the whole room discovers what human judgment, context and leadership can do that the machine can't.
It's live AI and improv, it runs 60 to 90 minutes, and no two shows are ever the same, because the audience is the show. It works as a keynote, a breakout or the evening's entertainment.

The Future Has No Manners
The new rules of being human in the age of AI.
Mitch's keynote for conference openers, kickoffs and leadership events. It's funny, fast and practical. Technology has moved faster than people have. Now people have to catch up.
In this keynote Mitch shows audiences how far ahead the machines have gotten, from people kicking robots to riders in self-driving cars who have no idea how to act. Then he runs a live demonstration of his own AI workforce, so the room sees how work is changing at its foundations. Then he turns to what matters most: when knowledge is cheap and machines can do the work, what's left that only humans can do?
What your audience leaves with: the Five New Rules of Work
- Knowledge alone is no longer the advantage.
- Productivity and purpose must coexist.
- Adaptability is a core human capability.
- Trust becomes more valuable as technology advances.
- Human potential must be intentionally developed.
Mitch also shows them which friction to remove with AI and which friction actually helps people grow. He closes on one idea that stays with people:
"We spent the last century designing people to fit the work. We now have the opportunity to redesign work to elevate people."
Audiences can also leave with additional tools, like the Grandfather Test, Fix It or Drop It, and Phones Down, Hands Up.
It runs 60 to 90 minutes and is built around your audience.

Keynote and show
Comedy You Can Dance To
The keynote that gets people out of their seats.
This isn't a talk people sit through. Mitch hosts, his DJ runs the music, and within minutes the audience is up, laughing, moving and part of the show. Underneath the fun is a real lesson about the human element: connection is the one thing technology can't do for us. Your people feel that in the room, together, and then take it back to work.
What they leave with
- Never Deny the Scene. The first rule of improv, made for work: "Okay, that's happening. Now what?" Accept what's in front of you and build on it, instead of fighting it.
- Connection Is a Choice. Every great team, room and customer moment starts when someone decides to engage. Your people get to practice making that choice live.
- Get Back Out There. After years of screens and Zoom, people have forgotten how good it feels to be in a room together. This keynote reminds them, and gets them to show up for each other again.
- Be Fun, Be Cool. The show's only two rules. They also turn out to be a great way to run a team.
The show began in Chicago in 1993, ran there for 20 years, and became a hit at Universal Studios Florida, drawing 20,000 people three nights in a row.
It runs 60 to 90 minutes, as an opening keynote, a closing keynote or the evening's main event.

"People weren't just listening. They were laughing, participating, thinking, and genuinely connecting with one another."
