Get Your Stuff Done!
My sixth book comes out this week!
In today's episode, I explore the power of 3 and celebrate the upcoming release of my latest book. It's more a journal and project planner than a book per se. It's my system on how to get your stuff done. I developed it so I could be more productive in my hyper-stimulated world. Then, I tested it with 30 volunteers who helped me improve it. And then, I did a six-month mastermind to iron out the last kinks. The result is the Get Your Stuff Done Journal and Project Planner.
It comes out sometime this week. I'll post a link in the https://IzoldaT.com/GYSD/ page when the book is ready. In the meantime, here's the cover. I love how it evokes that feeling of achievement. It's not through luck. It's through diligence, work, and focus. But you still get to the top of the mountain. And that's the best feeling!

Encouraging Courage Through Stand-up Comedy
Welcome to the last week of student interviews from the Intro to Stand-up Comedy class I took at the People's Improv Theater in New York City, NY.
These three delightful comedians shared their journeys, fears, wins, and processes in getting to the stage. Plus, they kindly shared some of their sets so you can hear them directly!
One of the things I've loved about this series is that several of the people came back multiple times so you can hear their process as they develop and grow. It will inspire you and make you laugh.
Next week, I'll have the pleasure of welcoming comedian Chris Griggs to the show to talk performing and teaching stand-up comedy. But for now, enjoy Kyriaki, Tom, and Molly's thoughts and experiences.
