To Be or Not To Be a Mastermind | #4

from Decoding Taylor Swift · host Joe Romm and Toni Romm

Why does Taylor start with “Once upon a time”? What does “scheming like a criminal” have to do with owning your power? And how can you use her approach to write and speak with precision, impact, and purpose? This week on Decoding Taylor Swift, Joe and Toni take on “Mastermind,” one of Taylor’s most lyrically complex and strategically structured songs, but this episode isn’t just about decoding a song. It’s about becoming the author of your own story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
