When she was 10 years old, Jan McInnis announced to her parents that when she turned 16 she was going to “buy a motorcycle, ride cross country to Los Angeles, and become a comedian.” Her parents didn’t quite share her “vision” so she ended up graduating from Virginia Tech and having a marketing career for over a decade before getting on stage.  Today, she has spent the past 18 years making people laugh and showing people how to use humor.   Jan has cornered the corporate and association convention market with her comedy shows and humor keynotes. She has been in front of thousands of organizations from The Mayo Clinic, to the American Heart Association, the Toyota Women’s Conference, and the Federal Reserve Banks. Jan was featured in the “Wall Street Journal” as one of the top convention comedians whose act is clean.    In addition to being a comedian, Jan is also a veteran comedy writer who has sold material to just about everyone. Her material has been heard everywhere from the Tonight Show monologue with Jay Leno, to hundreds of radio stations, greeting cards, syndicated cartoon strips, and even guests on the Jerry Springer Show (her parents are proud!). She was featured in the Washington Post for her clean comedy writing, and she is author of the book “Finding The Funny Fast: How To Create Quick Humor To Connect With Clients, Coworkers And Crowds.”

We have been surrounded by music from a very young age. Our dad and his brothers are all very musical. During family parties throughout our childhood, our uncles would jam in the basement. We loved it when they played together and would join in. This is where we first got a taste of performing. When Matt was in Kindergarten and Andrew was in pre-school their mom enrolled them in piano lessons. In third grade, Andrew started playing the alto saxophone in the concert band and took private guitar lessons. In high school Andrew played the tenor saxophone in the symphonic band, guitar in the pit orchestra, and guitar for the chorus as an accompanist. In high school Matt played guitar and bass with Andrew in their high school’s talent shows and in local bars. During that time, Matt and Andrew joined their father and their uncle in a Beatles tribute band, playing in local bars across long island. Andrew was George and Matt was John. Soon we started writing songs. We loved playing Beatles music but wanted to play our own music. Once we started writing songs in high school we started to take our music career very seriously. In college, Matt took voice lessons, guitar lessons, bass lessons, joined a singing ensemble, and of course kept writing songs. In college Andrew is doing the same. We would like to do this as a career because this is our passion. We love writing and playing music. In January 2012 “The Speed of Sound EP” was released. In March 2013, “Still Waters” EP was released.  

Jim Beach’s first book, School for Startups, was published by McGraw-Hill in June 2011 and reached as high as number 9 on Amazon's business section.  Jim has started businesses and has taught entrepreneurship around the world and will be again headlining the Entrepreneur Summit at the world's most exclusive university, Indian Institute of Technology, in January 2013.   Jim received his Japanese and Business Administration masters degrees from the University of Hawaii and Japan-America Institute of Management Science of Tokyo, Japan in December 1992. He specialized in Japanese Financial Systems and was selected to receive the Fujitsu Foundation for International Education Scholarship, was a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, and also was awarded Highest Honors. He worked for the Japanese government trade promotion office (JETRO) where he helped American companies export to Japan and The Coca-Cola Company, both in Japan and in the United States.   Along with co-authors Chris Hanks (head of UGA Entrepreneurship program) and David Beasley (AJC and Bloomberg reporter), Jim wrote School for Startups. It was published by McGraw-Hill in the summer of 2011. Promoting the book, he has done over 50 radio interviews, was featured in a UPS commercial, was referred to as the Simon Cowell of venture capital by CNN, and was excerpted by Entrepreneur magazine and the Wall Street Journal India.

Jim was born to a large dysfunctional Greek family in Harlem New York, even his first day in the world was a Greek tragedy. When his father first saw him in the hospital nursery in the baby box marked MELIS, being the product of inbreeding, he was expecting a cute Greek baby boy with a big nose and at least one extra limb. His father was shocked to find a cute black baby boy with a different big body part that looked like an extra limb. His father, angry that the baby didn’t look anything like him, yelled at his wife for obviously having an affair, and threatened to divorce her. Then when his wife convinced him that she had been faithful, he yelled at her mother, for getting around too much and being unfaithful. He concluded that one of her indiscretions must have lay dormant for a generation and popped out with Jim. The drama ensued until a few hours later when a white baby boy with a big nose, big head, hairy back and one eyebrow was found behind the box marked MELIS and they lived happily every after. Jim is aware of his character defects which led him to the next step… blaming his parents. Jim honors all his personality flaws, for without them he would have no personality at all. He has realized that all of him is beautiful….even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts. His father once told him that his great intuition makes up for his lack of good judgement.   I can also hook you up with a short, fat, guy with a hair back.
