E149:
On today’s episode we speak with hypnotherapist, illusionist, and writer Michael Mezmer. Michael has traveled the world performing as an act and helping those with trauma with hypnotherapy. Michael is also an author of several books and currently writing new works we discuss in the show. In this episode we talk through the transition period from high school into your passion and getting your first paid gig. Michael shares some extremely wild ways to drum up publicity, build a personal brand, and highlights when to separate your personal brand as your act and yourself in home life and stage. We speak through business design, mindset, and experience.
