Involuntary Authority

Biography

What’s the number one fear in the world? It isn’t death, but public speaking. Ironically in trying to overcome his own fears using some unconventional wisdom David (rather reluctantly) became one of the world’s leading experts on the topic…even though he hates it. David is also the Founder of FunnyBizz, a community, writer platform, and conference series, where business meets humor to abolish boring content, and the bestselling author of ‘Do You Talk Funny?’ published by Benbella/Persius.

His work has been featured in Inc., Lifehacker, The Huffington Post, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, The Irish Times, and Forbes. A graduate of the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School he calls San Francisco home when immigration officials permit, and was named on the 2017 Irish America 100 List, which recognises the accomplishments of the best and the brightest Irish-American and Irish-born leaders.
