Episode notes

i really try to work with people's own strength and weaknesses. So i have sises that work for some people and really don't work for others. You can give a pretty mediocre performance of a brilliant speech and still do really well. Just using the actual content itself, and not trying d turn them into something that they're not. We want to relate to the real person and not feel like you're trying to sell us something with this sort of body anoen performance.
