My name is Baratunde Thurston, and I support this #SXSW panel. I've spoken at hundreds of events, and Mike is one of the most professional, organized, easy-going, and fun people I've worked with. Having spoken at the recent TEDxKC (2014), I can certify that he knows what he's doing and what he's talking about. I hope others get a chance to learn from his experiences.

Re: Let's Get Reasonable About Unplugging

What's up atlantic.
I'd say resources had less to do with the length of my unplugging than desperation. I lived a more extreme life and wanted more time away just to recover from a crazy year. Love the weekend off recommendation which is something I build in more regularly now. Keep typing things into computers!

VERY helpful. Seriously thank you for engaging with me on this, and I don't read it as sarcastic but appreciate you pointing that out anyway.

thanks for the review @niche! I thought about including more contemporary memoir on the post-harvard and how-did-i-work-through-standup, but i had to save something for the next book :) I also felt I'd reached a good point in the arc of this story and getting into the behind the scenes of comedy felt a little TOO insidery. happen to discuss it on a panel though
