Mariya Palanjian's interview's Mike Cundall

Mike Cundall, founder of Mirth Management, is a professor, dedicated to helping organizations and individuals find better ways to stay engaged, be more connected to those around them, and just get more enjoyment from their work and life. He has worked with organizations like the US Army, medical professionals, HR groups on how they can work to create better and more engaging organizational spaces.

He created his business Mirth Management (www.mirthmanagement.co) in order to help people see the value of bringing enjoyment, engagement, and satisfaction back into our everyday lives. Starting a company like his he's learned that sticking with it, and remaining committed to your ideas and goals is one of the most important factors in success

I founded Mirth Management in 2017 to address the lack of information and training in humor for organizations, companies, and executives, in the professional world. Not only did I know from my experience as a classroom teacher how helpful humor is, there is a lot of research that shows us how humor can benefit our daily lives.

I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy and the Sciences from the University of Cincinnati. While I had always been known as a funny guy, my formal research into humor began in earnest while working on my dissertation on autism. Since then, I have published on the cognition of humor, racist, ethnic and offensive humor, and humor in business communications.
