Show Notes

Allen & Thom have decided to confess. Each host tells stories of mistakes and bloopers from their 40+ year careers. Some heavy, some silly, some just embarrassing. (Thom’s client interrupting him to ask, “Can we talk about me for a minute?”) What comes through once again is how both value being authentic and transparent in their work. The good news, they decide, is that they both seemed to learn some valuable lessons from the missteps of the past. Inexperience preceded experience.

 Next week: How can we live every day of our lives with acceptance?
