"Laugh to the Top": A Hilarious Guide to Achieving Your Goals

Your group has been working hard, soaking up invaluable information and practical solutions from a dynamic, hard-hitting line-up of no-nonsense presenters and workshop leaders.

Now, wouldn’t it be terrific if you could get a speaker to relax the mood for a moment, entertain them with some belly-laughs, and at the same time inspire and motivate them to put the lessons they’ve learned into practice?

Wouldn’t it be great if that speaker got this kind of response:

“Amazingly in this day and age, you got huge laughs, kept it clean, and remained truly inspiring.” - Anish Jain, Institute of Business Forecasting*

“The kudos and positive feedback goes on and on and on. You were definitely a hit with all our Conferees, which from my experience is a first for our group. You were great!” - Tim Egan, Federation of Exchange Accommodators*

“You are a powerful, highly motivated and motivating speaker…your messages were on target…and there wasn’t a single person in the room that didn’t laugh long and loud.” - James E. Foster, International Paper Company*

Mack gets huge laughs while demonstrating the power and practicality of his Seven Step Formula for goal-achieving—and he walks the walk. He’s been a super-achiever since he was a young man who earned a black belt in karate, won a major literary prize, and traveled across Europe for 15 months living by his wits in exotic lands. In North Africa, a brawl with a would-be robber landed him in a Moroccan prison, and that terrifying experience taught him many powerful lessons that he shares with his fascinated audiences ("Falling on your face is still moving forward!").

For the past 20 years he’s entertained thousands of corporate clients, performed stand-up comedy on The Tonight Show with both Johnny and Jay and numerous other TV shows, acted in movies with such stars as Karl Malden and Keith Carradine, and was hand-picked by Bill Maher for the writing staff of ABC's Politically Incorrect.

Just before taping a pilot for Dick Clark Productions, he was diagnosed with cancer. Mack’s slightly-unconventional tale of his triumphant battle against that cruel predator leaves his audiences inspired, deeply moved—and shaking with laughter.

Laughing about cancer? You bet. Mack’s philosophy is "when they're laughing, they're listening." And one sure way to get a group to laugh is to create custom comedy specifically for them, which he weaves into every presentation. With more than 15 years experience doing just that for such organizations as Kodak, General Motors, Pfizer, Nortel, Johnson & Johnson and hundreds more, nobody does it better. As one client said:

“I was particularly impressed with (the custom material you created for) our employees, which wasn’t just canned or recited. Your humor was so appropriate…very funny, without being offensive! Just perfect!” - Pat Hosegood Martin, Cal Poly State University

“Mack's ability to take a dry subject like manufacturing software and give it a humorous life made the evening memorable for all. He tailored his material to our business as though he'd been in the field himself!" - Brian Kindilien, Surfcam*
