Hey DUNSON! Put Me On

Even lucky people can fumble a blessing. In the season 1 finale of Hey Dunson, Put Me On, I’m talking about luck, reps, and what it takes to be ready when your moment shows up. I ask four questions about whether you’re prepared for it, and I answer them honestly about myself, flaws included. I also tell you why I went faceless in the first place and why that’s about to change, and I close the season with a story about luck finding my book.

We need to talk about the dances.

This week on Hey Dunson Put Me On — the vulnerability of putting yourself out there, a co-worker conversation that hit a little too close to home, and what it actually means to do the work even when it goes against every instinct you have. Plus, the Knicks get their Put Me On moment.

Sometimes love for the thing means doing the thing you swore you’d never do. Watch me love it.
