I am a red personality, which means my heart is good, but my delivery sounds like a foreclosure notice. I do not mean to come in hot. I come and preheated. Some people wake up and stretch. I wake up and assess threats. Coffee is not even coffee to me. Coffee is a tactical briefing in a mug. The four colors system says red is the protector. That sounds noble until you realize a red will protect you from things you did not ask to be protected from. Somebody says I am thinking about starting a business. A normal friend says that is exciting. A yellow gives them a hug. A green asks for the spreadsheet. A blue says, tell me how that makes you feel. A red like me says, good, what is the offer who is paying? Why is the website not live? And why are we still standing here? That is not encouragement. That is a productivity warrant. I need a delay switch. Just two seconds between my thought and my mouth. Not a filter. I am not asking for miracles. Just a little loading screen. Because red truth is useful, but red timing is a misdemeanor. I have had moments where someone is sharing a dream and my brain immediately turns into a job site foreman. I start moving cones around their feelings. All right, trauma over here excuses in that dumpster. Money path by Friday nobody leaves until this becomes a landing page. That is why I need comedy. Comedy gives red a safer place to tell the truth. If I say it in real life, I am intense. If I say it on stage, suddenly it is a callback, same sentence, different microphone. My problem is I think calm is what happens after the work is done. Other colors think calm is part of the work. I am learning that. Green reminds me to think before I swing the hammer. Blue reminds me that people are not checklist wearing shoes. Yellow reminds me that a hug is not a delay in the schedule. And red reminds everybody that the rent is still due. That is the beauty of four colors. Every color is right and annoying in a different direction. My red self wants to save everybody, but sometimes the best way to save the room is to shut up for eight seconds and let the person finish a sentence. Eight seconds feels long to a red. That is basically a silent retreat. So my new self improvement plan is simple. Before I respond, I ask one question. Is this protection or am I just trying to win a fire drill that is growth? And if I forget bombed, app can score my personality in real time. Jesse entered the room, set up nine out of 10, empathy, pending, volume, county alert level. You are welcome.\n\n[THAT WAS ALL JOKES. None of it was real. Every person, company, movie, advertisement and event in this show is made up.
