Improvisation Is One Of The Big Secrets Of Success - Jeff Smith Talks WIth Michael Deiderich

In this episode Jeff Smith is talking with Michael Diederich, the Improv Guy

Michael has spent his whole life on stage! He performed most of his youth in California, studied musical theatre at Wagner College in New York, and had a brilliant career for over a decade in the Netherlands.

However, after many years of theatre productions and tours, Michael still wanted more variation, and improv was the answer. He began performing with Boom Chicago in 1993 and in 2006 became a full-time improv actor.

During his time there he gave thousands of workshops, helped them improve their syllabus, created their Public Speaking programme, and helped them develop Interacting, their highly successful improv training for children with autism.

But after many years, Michael realized he was working extremely hard for a small portion of the profits, and was doing the majority of the work himself. With some encouragement from friends and mentors, Michael decided to take a risk in 2018 and go freelance. He is now working even harder, but now instead of a slice, he gets the whole pie!

This is going to be an interview where you will not believe some of the things that have happened to Michael, the depths of despair reinventing himself, and then finding his way to amazing success.
