Transcript:
Lucy: Umm...what's a motivational speaker? Danae: Someone people pay just to tell them what they want to hear. Lucy: Wow...there's a lot of them. How are you going to compete? Danae: By being different! I'm gonna tell people what they need to hear...for a fee. Lucy: Oh. ...So you're assuming people will pay to have you insult them? Danae: Ok, you need to shut up now...that one's on the house.

I think Danaeâs on to something. She can harness her inner Don Rickles !

Demotivational speaker? Boy, Danae is proving my instincts right.
Of course, we all knew already that âdictatorâ is the only career option Danae ever wanted. Maybe thatâs part of the whole point behind the character â illustrating that authoritarians are just spoiled brat children who never grew up.

Danae has missed something. When people pay you to tell them what they want to hear, usually that includes paying to not tell what they need to know. So good luck with your business idea, Danae!

People will pay you to say what they think other people need to here, though. (This includes insulting absent people or being paid by the boss of the audience.)

My experience tells me that a dozen people can tell someone what they need to hear but they will listen to the one person that tells them what they want to hear. So Danae, you must be that one person

I like the idea of the Pope being a motivational speaker. As long as she doesnât speak in Latin.

This is gonna be like that âCalvin and Hobbesâ strip where Calvin couldnât understand why no one was buying from his âswift kick in the buttâ stand. He said, âEveryone I know needs what Iâm selling!â

Political pundits spew hate like snow during a blizzard, but people flock to them in droves. I honestly donât think sheâll have a problem. Hate and insults sell VERY well, you just have to direct the hate and insults at OTHER people.

Used to go and see motivational speakers when I was in salesâŠ.the hype lasted about 5 days and then the real world took over again. My friends would always know i had gone to a seminar by the born-again look on my face.

People have been paying to hear Don Rickles insult them for about 50 years now.

Omnius said
âAnd this is why that corrupt moron Herman Cain lost his presidential bid. "
Herman disagrees. Women mixinâ it up with powerful men find it profitable to âtell allâ to anyone with a microphone, pen or tablet. Bear that in mind when you attain puberty and some level of success in your life.
