In this episode, I interview my old friend and funny guy, Randy Judkins.

Randy is a unique inspirational speaker and has presented his creative programs on laughter, change, stress, self-esteem, and teamwork for professional groups, schools, and companies in over 25 U.S. states, Canada and Europe.

Randy has appeared in a handful of television commercials and independent films in his native state of Maine. Randy has instructed at the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey's Clown College in Florida and has served as a character consultant for Tri-Star Pictures. The Juilliard School of Drama in New York City hired Randy to teach a series of master classes in character and physical comedy.

In 2002, he founded the comedy trio, the Maine Hysterical Society. They have been called 'The best variety comedy act in New England'. He guides specialty food tasting, and walking tours in downtown Portland, and has co-guided professional hiking tours in Acadia National Park.

Randy served as Master of Ceremonies twice for the Patrick Dempsey Challenge Banquet for Hope and Healing, [and cycled the 100-mile course the next day]. At one time he ran in the Beach to Beacon 10K Road Race while juggling three balls the entire 6.2 miles. He finished the race in under an hour and he did not drop a ball.
