Why Play Belongs in Leadership: Comedy Skills at Work with Kevin Hubschmann

In this episode of The True Leadership Podcast, Ty speaks with Kevin Hubschmann, former enterprise SaaS salesperson turned comedian and founder of Laugh Dot. Kevin shares how his father’s bold life choices shaped his own approach to effort, resilience, and authenticity. He reflects on the turning point when he stopped “being salesman” and started being himself — and how improv helped him uncover the power of active listening, play, and failure in leadership. Kevin explores why humor is not a performance but a pathway to trust, creativity, and human connection, and why learning to bomb onstage can make you a better leader offstage....If you’d like support navigating your current leadership challenge, you can book a True Leadership Conversation with Ty here: https://calendly.com/onemountain/25-minute-clarity-callYou can also learn more about the True Leadership Approach at: https://www.onemountainleadership.com/testimonials
