My guest for Episode #104 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Fred Moore, who has been a professional speaker and entertainer for the past 25 years, including roles as a corporate magician, event emcee, and more. Fred has done over 6,000 performances and presentations in 30 countries.
In today’s episode, Fred shares his “favorite mistake” story about putting himself in a position where he was “replaceable” at work. We’ll hear about how he was fired from the beginning of a 9-month performing contract. What did Fred learn from this, for his own benefit and to help others learn from his experience?
We talk about that and other topics including:
- Mistakes that happen as a stage performer?
- Things that REALLY throw you off?
- “How can I use my enemies and failure?”
- Virtual engagements —Pivots, mistakes, lessons?
- Certified Virtual Presenter?
- How did you get into magic?
- Fred’s key lessons:
- Be irreplaceable, not a commodity
Nobody cares more about you than you
Wallowing in misery isn’t that productive - Haven’t failed if you learned something (videos)
