You Can't Do Your Own Brain Surgery

from The Lauren Widrick Podcast Hosted by Lauren Widrick

ACTIVATE Conference Tickets live on laurenwidrick.com. I stood in a room of six people I trust completely and still nearly fell apart reading my own speech out loud. Here's what happened, and why it means you need to be at ACTIVATE on October 24th. Sign up now at laurenwidrick.com, hit the conference button, lock in early bird pricing before it jumps. 🧠 I had the best day at my 9 to 5 building something genuinely life changing, then walked into Speakeasy and got humbled within minutes 😬 Reading my "hilarious" speech out loud to six people I trust made me feel like an exposed nipple (my friend's words, not mine, allegedly) 🗣️ I talk a mile a minute, my jokes were a stalling tactic, and the room called it immediately 🥊 I wanted to clap back and defend every joke. I didn't. I listened instead 💡 I can fix anyone's business model in 45 minutes flat, but somehow thought I could edit my own speech alone. Spoiler: you can't do your own brain surgery 🎤 This is exactly what Activate is built for: get in a room, get torn apart, get better, together Stop trying to do your own brain surgery. Contact and follow along on IG @laurenwidrick or head to laurenwidrick.com to sign up for Activate.
