Today's special guest Steve Rizzo, a notable motivational speaker and former comedian, is here to talk about his hilarious book Conversations with Bob, which he devoted seven years to writing. The title character, Bob, is a higher being/God that appears to Bernie, a newly crossed over, negative minded soul, as an old Hippie. But Bob is not as he appears. He is wise, brilliant, all-knowing, and really funny. The conversations between the two make you laugh, and will prompt you to start a dialogue between your own Inner Bob and your own Inner Bernie. Steve describes the book as a mission for all of us to adhere to. He wants to spend the rest of his life spreading his entertaining, thought-provoking, timeless message. Steve Rizzo was a national headline comedian, with opening acts such as Drew Carey, Rosie O’Donnell, and Chris Rock. He shared the marquee with Ellen DeGeneres, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Jerry Seinfeld. He starred in his own Showtime comedy special, earning him honors as a Showtime Comedy All-Star.  Steveis a member of the prestigious Speakers Hall of Fame—an honor bestowed on fewer than 200 speakers worldwide since 1977. However, he didn’t start out this way. His is a story that people will resonate with, similar to the theme in “Rocky,” where the underdog rises to the occasion and takes his place amongst the winners. In Steve’s case, he was voted least likely to succeed in high school. That didn’t stop him. He went on to prove the naysayers wrong by graduating with high honors at the university and postgraduate level. In a full-circle moment, he returned to teach at his high school, changing the narrative others had written for him.
