There’s a new Joel Bauer, aka “The Business Card Guy” video, and I’m starting to think this guy might just be a total brilliant genius. “Dane Shakespeare will hold your hand?” The camera work here alone seems intentionally wtf (Troy, is that you?)! I kind of LOVE this guy:
Can we just call him Joel Bauer instead of “the business card guy” now? Is he famous enough yet? (Via Cajun Boy.)

“He has the ability to enable them to translate it so that people understand perhaps for the first time who you are and why it is you make a differrence in their life”
Dane Shakespeare officially has the best superhero name and the WORST superpower.
does anyone know if there is a charge to call Dane Shakespeare???
Just below the frame, Joel Bauer and Troy have linked hands. In an unprecedented two-minute extended version of their favourite trust exercise, they’re both leaning waaaay back and ever so slowly using each other’s carefully polished shoes as pivot points.
From this point forward, this elegant dance will be forever known as the “Dane Shakespeare”.
I think my favorite bit he does is the random, slightly incorrect pronounciations. InFLU-ence in place of INfluence.
So that I can make a difference in the lives of…. gigolos? Bird watchers? WHO?!?!?
Dane Shakespeare enabled me to fill my pipeline at no extra charge.
He will “literally” hold my hand? So not in some kind of figurative helping way? He is going to physically hold my hand and ask me the right questions? Slightly unorthodox. Is he also going to physically position me in the marketplace? Kinky.
I love that there’s this bored bartender standing there in the background, doing nothing, waiting for a customer. A lucky first hand witness of our hero as he spins around in circles in the middle of a hotel lobby, pointing a camera at himself while he talks to no one in particular, trapped in a bubble of condescending self-appointed authority.
“I wish I had found him 20 years ago” that way I wouldn’t have wasted 20 years designing this stupid business card.
“I wish I would have met him 20 years ago” so I didn’t waste the last 20 years designing this stupid business card.
“In the lives of?”
Nooooooo!!!!1!111!! Will we ever know whose lives he’ll make a difference in??????
Why is he spinning around and around? What the fuck is going on there?
how the fuck did he get the camera to do that? that’s incredible
I’ve watched roughly one hour of Joel Bauer video in the last couple weeks, and I still have no grasp of what exactly this man does or can do for me. I know he has a pleasant enough voice. I know he used to be retarded. I know he spends too much time thinking about business cards and packing.
I find myself in bed at night turning over the question, “What is Joel Bauer?” (Or, should I be asking WHEN is Joel Bauer?)
Incredibly, he changes possessives at will in an amazing manner to allow you to imagine that he is doing something that you are capable of having done, previously. He also mixes past and present so that what you can imagine, is what he is doing FOR you at no charge.
What the hell was this guy talking about? I swear he’s Dane Shakespeare’s pimp. All that talk about positions and filling pipelines. It’s some sorrt of gigolo secret code.
yep, lindsay – he’s a secret genius. as in “super secret” genius. as in, no one is authorized to know what a genius joel is, except for joel.
i want a can of whatever spray-on, toupe-on hair it is that gives him that voluminous, wind-blown look. maybe it just gets that way from SPINNING IN CIRCLES IN A HOTEL LOBBY FOR NO REASON.
worst. i can’t get my head around the fact that this guy exists, and even more sadly, that he appeals to people even sadder than him, and probably takes their money for some crap motivational book that they bought after attending his crap motivational seminar, saddest.
but i do i love that, according to joel, i get all the life-changing benefits of dane shakespeare’s wisdom with “very little energy, and very little effort”. because that is the way you get everything important in life. just listen, guys.
My brain turns off the every time he opens his mouth. I know his ego is hilarious, but I actually have to concentrate in order to watch these videos. It is so natural to stop listening when someone consistently talks AT you.
What you really need to know about Joel Bauer can be found in the “About Joel” section of his website of GLORY: http://infotainer.com/infotainer/blog/about-joel/
“Consumed with Martial Arts and Magic”
Magic is capitalized. Yes, please.
so i have this idea for your next double dog challenge (YOU’RE OVERDUE, SLACKERGUM)
Oh My God. Please Lindsay. Gabe could never top it and you could force him to do several humiliating dares a week if you attended a JOEL BAUER conference/motivational speech/hire him as a “success trainer”/whatever the fuck he does.
This is pretty funny, but after watching the 20-minute video and some of the others on his site, these little 2 minute videos just won’t do. Lindsay, you really need to post the 16-minute Joel Bauer skiing video found on his blog (he taped it while in the middle of a skiing session for some reason) that basically goes through his entire life. It’s basically Joel Bauer: Origin Story:
