Episode 31: How a little improv can help your business – An Interview with Pam Victor

Have you ever heard those voices in your head saying: “You can’t do this. You aren’t good enough. Why are you even trying, you will never succeed.”? We’ve all heard those voices at some point and as our guest, improv comedian and female entrepreneur Pam Victor says, it’s often the greatest among us who hear those voices most often. Pam created the F.U.C.K. I.T. philosophy to keep those voices at bay. She shares the techniques she teaches her students to get rid of those voices, which she lovingly calls Calvin or your Evil Mind Meany. Pam also talks about how she happened into becoming an improv comedian and then entrepreneur.
