How To Be a Great Guest
I am teaching an hour-long workshop with Wonderfish and James Colistra titled: “Drop the Script: How to Build Authority By Speaking Like Yourself.” March 12, 2026, 2pm Eastern.
We’ll practice keeping your voice dynamic and compelling; create a pre-show ritual that will get you calm and ready; do improv exercises to keep you fun and ready to be present; hone in on your story— what are you sharing on the podcast and how can you tell it with heart?
That’s a lot of ground to cover but that’s how I roll.
Come learn. Come play. It will be fun and transformational.

Imperfection wins
Last night I went to a storytelling show.
The participants were all pretty good. Rehearsed.
But.
Every single person had memorized a script, to the word.
It made me feel tight!
Figure out the beats. Plan out some jokes. But please tell the story like you would at brunch.
Because I want you, baby! Human you, not robot you. Actual person you. That may feel scary, and that’s actually a good sign. What you’re scared of is someone learning who you are and seeing the real you. And if you show me that… I am in for life.
True of storytelling, true on a date, true in a VC pitch.
Let’s be real.
