While reciting some of history's favorite quotes along with his original jokes and quips, Gene will inspire you to smile more.

If that sounds funny, it should. Fun is actually the key word. Do you feel guilty when you have fun at work? Why have we been conditioned to think that work must be – well, work? Laughter enhances creativity, promotes connectivity, boosts immunity, and improves overall health. Being a scientist, Gene has the facts and figures to prove it. You will find yourself nodding in agreement and laughing out loud at the same time. His talk is a melting pot of anthropology, psychology, sociology…and a barrel full of fun.
