They’re Going to Hate This & Think I’m Full of Shit. Jumping off from the hugely popular “Fuck No, Shit Yeah, Damn Right” sessions, this solo presentation is full of insight, inspiration, and imposter complexes — with every laugh, tear, and expletive focused on using personal doubt and internal perspective to fuel creativity and success. If you have the same shitty life coach, you should come, it’ll probably be great. Though I fucking doubt it.
