50: Make A Scene: Behind the Book with Erin King

This episode is something special. My good friend Erin King flips the script and takes over to celebrate the launch of my new book, Make A Scene: Storytelling, Stage Presence, and the Art of Being Unforgettable in Every Spotlight. This book is the culmination of years of coaching, performing, and helping people like you become unforgettable.

In our conversation, Erin and I dive into:

The rollercoaster process of writing Make A Scene, including the lessons learned from throwing out two completely finished versions.
The Five Stage Languages—voice, verbal, physical, visual, and emotional—and how they can help you connect with any audience and make your message land.
My Rapid Prototyping Protocol for rehearsing like a pro, balancing preparation with authenticity so you can own the stage.
The deeper emotional work behind reclaiming your voice and showing up as your full self.

Erin shares what it’s like to work with me as a client (spoiler: there were tears), and we discuss how every moment—on stage or in life—is an opportunity to make a scene.
