Summary
Neil Strauss is a seven-time NYT best selling author. He became an international celebrity and an accidental hero to men after writing The Game, where he went undercover in a secret society of pickup artists for two years.
If that wasn’t enough Neil is an award winning columnist at the New York Times and Rolling Stone, for which he’s well-known for earning the trust of some of the most guarded and secretive celebrities in the world.
Today on the podcast...
* We dig into vulnerability. Neil says the things that you’re most afraid to share are probably the things you to. If you’re feeling it, other people will too.
* We also talk about the inner critic - the programmed messages you carry that aren’t true.
* And we tackle fear: where it comes from, and how your best work can come from it.
Enjoy!
