Myles Goldin is a performer and teacher. Among other things, Myles teaches improve through the Boulder Improv Collaborative, which is how I met her. She also teaches public speaking and gives workshops through Presence Academy and How to Fail Brilliantly.
(Aside: I hired Myles to coach me when I first started this podcast. She was a great teacher in helping me develop a voice, both technically and in terms of character. Thanks Myles!)
The episode opened with Beck’s Cold Brains and the story of the sexiest sales call I have ever received. It closed with Steve Martin’s King Tut.
