*Deep breath* This episode of The Unconventionalists podcast with Tucker Max, 4x New York Times Bestselling Author and Co-Founder of Scribe Media, is by far one of, if not THE most vulnerable and raw episode I've released to date.
As you will see, sh*t got deep, real fast.
For the first time in the history of the show, the interviewer became the interviewee and Tucker helped me realise just how much of my childhood trauma has been getting in the way of me writing me next book. Mind. Blown.
“The obstacle is not informational, it’s emotional” - Tucker Max

⚠️ Warning: this episode contains descriptions of sexual violence and strong language that some viewers may find disturbing. Viewer discretion advised and not suitable for children.
I really can't wait to read your comments on this powerful conversation and more importantly, what you're taking away and will implement to transform your life and business.
If you found this conversation helpful, please share it with one friend who needs to hear this to move forward with their book (or creative project).
Thank you.
