How I started the most popular morning show on LinkedIn

Inspiration can come in the strangest ways.

You might not believe this but it all started with a mug,

I was hanging out in a friend's kitchen in Toronto, and I see this mug in the cupboard. It had the logo for the "Jesse and Gene Morning Show" (which I had never heard of or known anything about) and was just looking at it. It was just the logo, and I said to myself, "Hey! It would be pretty cool to have a morning show of my own." And, my logo is a total rip off of theirs, kind of.

This is how it all began...

Some of my influence comes from SNL, Between Two Ferns and Laurel and Hardy but ultimately the force behind the whole thing is a hatred of the media and news outlets. Not the biasness of it - I think that part is funny actually (I am not picking sides but it's hilariously pathetic how either side can take a story and bend it towards their agenda. It's hilarious.), but what gets me is that a lot of them capitalize on BAD NEWS. Cuz, while reporting bad news you have to add a sense of urgency and it keeps the viewers going because it leaves you in a panic. So the viewer logs back on to see how things progressed. It's a vicious cycle. And I hate it. I especially hate it when people fall prey to it and are hooked and paranoid.

Anyway, who cares? Let's have fun! I love this little show, and I am really happy that a lot of you do too. The show is designed around LinkedIn with the ability to promote engagement through humor. I had the great honor to interview and feature lots of influencers and popular figures such as Joel Wolh, Neil Greenbaum, Suzanne Spanner, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to mention a few (with lots more coming), and with features such as the traffic report and the weather guy.
