About the Author

Ricky Olson is an award-winning humorous speaker. Although he was told all his life he was funny, no one was laughing when he gave stand-up comedy a shot. Being “naturally funny” failed him, so he was forced to figure it out or quit. After four years of intense study and after finding an amazing coach, Ricky shares what he’s learned, so you, too, can Hook ’Em with Humor.

“In the process (of writing my book) I learned a lot about myself and the depths of my fears. I worked with Julie Salisbury through one-on-one live video coaching sessions which helped keep me on track and gave me a direction.”
