    Two Emcees Double Down on Event Success (ft. John Di Domenico | Event Emcee | Impersonator | Keynote Speaker)
    Jun 4 2025
    TITLE: Two Emcees Double Down on Event Success (ft. John Di Domenico | Event Emcee | Impersonator | Keynote Speaker)GUEST BIO:Emmy-nominated actor and 5X Best of Las Vegas winner John Di Domenico brings comedy and impressions to corporate events. Featured on Conan, Kimmel, and Howard Stern, he's collaborated with Fortune 500 companies like AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, and American Express as a professional emcee, delivering memorable experiences through custom content.OPENING QUOTE:Because the thing that an emcee does best, you and I do, that people can't see. If we do it right, it's seamless. It's that we keep the meeting moving, we keep the audience engaged, we read the audience. Do they need a serious moment here? Do they need to physically stand up? What do they need to keep that high level of engagement?SUMMARY:Scott Bloom and John Di Domenico, both experienced MCs and performers, reflect on their careers and long friendship. They share how their journeys in stand-up comedy led them into the world of corporate events. Both started their entertainment careers doing stand-up from a young age, but realized the corporate event world allowed them to use their skills in more creative and collaborative ways.John shares the path he took from performing in clubs and working as a copywriter to becoming a sought-after corporate entertainer, impersonator, and MC. He talks about the importance of deep customization—learning about the company, its culture, and the people in the audience—to deliver performances that truly resonate. Scott echoes this, highlighting how being able to read the room and keep audiences engaged is what sets professional MCs apart from internal company hosts.John details his unique process for preparing for events, from extensive research into company backgrounds to speech warmups (a legacy of overcoming childhood speech impediments). He also touches on his journey from doing full-character impersonations (complete with wigs and prosthetics) to performing as himself while using his array of voices and impressions for added flavor. Both hosts note that today's audiences for business events are more sophisticated and expect a "show," not just a meeting.The episode finishes with a fun rapid-fire Q&A where John reveals his favorite character (Austin Powers), his go-to karaoke song, and his hidden talents. The conversation overall is engaging, light-hearted, and packed with wisdom for the new event professional to the seasoned professional.HIRE THEM TO HOST OR SPEAK:Follow John Di Domenico: thejohnnydshow.com/Follow Scott Bloom: eSpeakers BioFollow eSpeakers: eSpeakers MarketplaceABOUT NO MORE BAD EVENTS:Brought to you by eSpeakers and hosted by professional emcee, host, and keynote speaker Scott Bloom, No More Bad Events is where you’ll hear from some of the top names in the event and speaking industry about what goes on behind the scenes at the world’s most perfectly executed conferences, meetings, and more.

  • Mind over Matter (ft. Wayne Lee | Peak Performance Expert | Hall of Fame Speaker and Entertainer)

    Mind over Matter (ft. Wayne Lee | Peak Performance Expert | Hall of Fame Speaker and Entertainer)
    Mar 12 2025
    Title: Mind over Matter (ft. Wayne Lee | Peak Performance Expert | Hall of Fame Speaker and Entertainer)Bio: A peak performance expert, Wayne Lee helps individuals and teams break free from self-limiting beliefs to unlock their full potential. With over 20 years of experience, his dynamic keynotes and interactive hypnosis shows inspire audiences to embrace change, take risks, and achieve their maximum potential.Opening Quote: Life is one big hypnosis show. You're either performing or you're not. And I always like to say, to play on the words, is all transformation starts in trance. People are in a trance with their habitual thought patterns, moment to moment, probably 80% of the day. So if they pick a different trance, and that just means getting into a state where they're focused upon a new belief, a new thought, through repetition and relaxation, they then transform.Summary: The mind is a powerful tool. Are you ready to use it? Stand by because, in this episode of No More Bad Events, we dive into the fascinating world of the mind with our guest, Wayne Lee. With his experience as an entertainer and hypnotist, Wayne has transitioned into the keynote space, where he utilizes principles of hypnosis to help people change their mindset. He shares how his journey began as a teacher and a wrestler, where the power of visualization first captured his interests, eventually leading him to explore hypnosis. Throughout the conversation, Wayne emphasizes the significance of understanding the subconscious mind and how our beliefs, often ingrained by age 12, dictate our thoughts and actions. Exploring the SCP (Subconscious Creation Process), Wayne introduces techniques like the "W.A.I.T tool" to enhance awareness and recalibrate our thinking patterns. Additionally, he illustrates the transformative power of hypnosis and imagination through interactive demonstrations, showing how shifting perceptions can lead to remarkable personal growth and freedom.And most importantly to all planners out there, he touches upon how to get the most from speakers and hypnotists (of course) at events.
