I talk about my failures, and specific ones in the last few weeks. “Struggle” has always been a part of improv – either as the scene on stage or off stage as part of the company/team. We don’t talk about it too much because we avoid vulnerability and we want “brand trust.”  If I run a team, I want people to trust we are going to be successful every show. If run an improv company, I want students/audience members to trust my product and talking about failure *may* challenge that.

I talk about “armchair consultants” and the specific things I’ve tried! And have lost money and time on…. … but that doesn’t mean I won’t try again.
