STOP BEING BORING ! | Thomas Frank Menfluential 2018 Speech | RMRS

About this video

Centeno hosts Thomas Frank at his Menfluential event to discuss five principles for becoming a more interesting communicator. Frank argues that most people are boring, but teaches viewers how to engage audiences through infectious enthusiasm about their topic, becoming an interesting person, incorporating humor into any subject matter, and leveraging the unique advantages of their chosen medium.

Key takeaways

• Centeno emphasizes that Frank argues infectious enthusiasm and passion for a topic can exponentially expand your audience, even when reaching beyond your primary demographic
• Centeno presents Frank’s recommendation to become an interesting person yourself by building intrigue through storytelling, sharing your life, and demonstrating fascination—which allows you to guide audiences to new topics
• Centeno shares Frank’s framework that all humor contains at least one of six elements (target, hostility, realism, exaggeration, emotion, surprise), allowing creators to inject comedy into seemingly non-funny subjects through referential comedy
• Centeno notes Frank’s advice to leverage the specific production elements available in your medium—whether video editing, podcast sound design, written formatting, or live presentation—to enhance engagement and retention
