  • Hypnotist-Comedian Boris Cherniak Wants to Play the Flute for You

    Hypnotist-Comedian Boris Cherniak Wants to Play the Flute for You
    Jan 7 2025
    Hypnotist-Comedian is Boris Cherniak’s day job. During work hours (anywhere from 8 PM to 4 AM, depending on the venue and city), he’s “the Incredible Boris." One reviewer described his act as “orchestrated chaos.” Boris has taken his act far and wide - clubs, theaters, colleges and convention centers across the US and his native North America - he is Canadian by way of Russia - on cruise ships and overseas to Afghanistan and Kuwait to entertain the troops. The Incredible Boris joins us to demonstrate his far less celebrated talent: he was a flute prodigy, but has barely picked it up in over 40 years. We are delighted and honored that he’s chosen the Talent Show as the venue to unveil a talent that’s not just been hidden, but that has lain dormant for over four decades! It’s also interesting to hear Boris talk about the day to day business grind of a working comedian, and how music has long been a refuge from and inspiration for his work.

    Dec 30 2024
    Talent Show Producer Charles Epstein checks in with TS host Tom Alexander to discuss the show - what we're looking to accomplish, what’s coming up, etc., stupid slinky tricks, watching paint dry (more to it than you think) and talents that don’t show up in the box score.

  • CEO by Day…CDO (Chief Dating Officer) by Night

    CEO by Day…CDO (Chief Dating Officer) by Night
    Dec 24 2024
    Todd Horton, CEO and founder of KangoHR, has been successful where so many others have failed: navigating the notoriously treacherous world of online dating, which takes more talent than you may think! Todd joins us to discuss the evolution of his dating approaches and processes via several hilarious, eye-opening stories. The skills he acquired/refined as an HR exec and business leader came in handy…but not always! We also asked him how his online dating has made him a better CEO. Fun and relatable to those no longer dating, spine-stiffening for those still at it. Thanks to Todd for his courage and humor - it’s not every CEO who’d publicly discuss his dating life! But that’s what the Talent Show is about - showing the side no one sees that makes you you…that’s part of the tone/standard you want to set for your organization.
