The Magic of Influence: From Card Tricks to Speaking Gigs with Brian Miller
When you’re a magician the most important part of your job is not tricking people. It’s connecting with people. Because fooling people is easy, but making people enjoy being fooled? That’s the real magic. And the only way to do that is to create a shared experience in which everyone feels heard, understood, and valued. Being a professional magician for 10 years taught me to make instant connections with perfect strangers, and that skills has led to every opportunity in my life, personally and professionally. I recently had the great pleasure of sitting down with Gabe Marusca on his podcast The Nomad Solopreneur Show.

2023 reflections and what to expect in 2024
This is my final blog of 2023. I’m about to do something radical… I’ll be taking the final 2 weeks of the year off. Having been self-employed since I was just 16 years old I find it very difficult to take vacations. In fact, in the first 3 years that my wife and I dated, I never took a single vacation. Our honeymoon was the first time Lindsey saw me take a proper break. But this year is different.
