INSIGHT

Asking Is A Unified Philosophy

  • Amanda links street performing, stripping, crowdfunding, and asking into a single philosophy of trust and abundance.
  • She expanded a TED talk into a book to explore those deeper connections across art and relationships.
ADVICE

Edit Ruthlessly For Clarity

  • Edit ruthlessly: distill stories to the single sentence that conveys the emotion or point.
  • Treat talks like songwriting or poetry and cut everything that doesn't serve the core message.
ADVICE

Less Is More Musically And Socially

  • Use simplicity to amplify impact: fewer, stronger notes beat many layers.
  • Apply the same minimalism to relationships and speech by saying less and leaving more space.
