In this episode of The Staging Lab we're talking turkey: Why in the hell should you listen to us anyway? There are so many 'experts' in the world who are creating podcasts, advertising their coaching services, touting their special brand of wisdom, and convincing us all that they're THE authority. Are they all just uber-wise gurus? Of course not. And we don't expect you to follow our advice just because we say to, so we're diving into the question that's on everyone's mind when they find a new podcast or mentor: 'Does this person even know what the hell they're talking about?!?' We're giving you an eclectic sampling of our staging experiences (one story even involves a lion!!), our mindset values, and talking about our firm belief that the best mentor is someone who has been where you are, and is where you want to be.
