How accountable are you, right now?

Today, Aidan and Ashley are joined by two fantastic magicians - Malcolm Russell and Joni Pakanen. Malcolm and Joni became accountability partners and great friends through the incredible TSM community. 

Even though they are based in different continents, the collaboration helped them in creating highly successful virtual shows.

Being self-employed, most entertainers find it difficult to stay accountable to themselves. Having an accountability partner helps tremendously in meeting personal deadlines, achieving business goals, and infusing creativity in your shows. 

Join Malcolm and Joni as they share their story about how this fruitful partnership, which began through Mastering Online Shows, helped them in being accountable to each other.
