Todd Hunt looks like a pleasant, buttoned-up corporate type. But when he opens his mouth, audiences reel with laughter. His stories and examples, delivered with the sly wit of a seasoned comedian, stick with you long after his program. Hunt is that rare speaker whose style and humor keep audiences riveted, while demonstrating the power of communication in our lives. From his upbringing in small-town Iowa ("population 2,316...when everyone's home for Christmas"), he got hooked on crazy headlines in his hometown newspaper (long before Jay Leno got rich doing the same thing). His stories of hot to order chicken and pizza are comedy gems in themselves, but also illustrate one of his many communication keys: "here is your listener coming from?"
