Avish Parashar - What can improv teach us on how to crush apathy in our businesses? Are you stuck in a cycle of “yes, but” thinking that keeps your business from growing? What if the real challenge to change isn’t resistance, but apathy? How can embracing improv’s “yes, and” mindset empower your team, crush burnout, and spark creativity? In this episode, I explore how recognizing and shifting your mindset can transform engagement in your business, with insights from improv and practical steps for moving from passive acceptance to genuine excitement—even in the face of overwhelm or uncertainty. Listen to this new episode for practical ideas to spot hidden apathy, empower your people, and use “yes, and” to fuel meaningful change and creativity in your business. About Avish: Avish Parashar, originally from Poughkeepsie, New York and now based in Philadelphia, started in theater but quickly pivoted to improv in college, launching a career that led him to found Polywumpus Improv Comedy. Through that experience, he discovered that the principles of improv translate directly to navigating real-world change. Today, he’s a keynote speaker and author who helps leaders and teams embrace uncertainty, boost creativity, and shift from apathy to engagement using the “Yes, And” mindset. Blending humor, audience interaction, and practical tools, Avish empowers organizations to turn change into opportunity, with a core message that the real barrier isn’t resistance—it’s apathy—and that growth comes from saying “Yes, And” to what’s next.
