Summary:

In today's digital world, every entrepreneur needs to master the camera - whether for courses, social media, leadership meetings, or sales calls. Yet most people either freeze up, become wooden, or fall back on bland formulas that strip away their personality.

In this episode, on-camera performance coach Howard Whiteson (who's worked with Anthony Hopkins and Pierce Brosnan) reveals why being authentically human beats any script or template. He shares his counterintuitive pre-camera technique that's impossible to do while feeling tense, and explains how to consciously amplify your natural persona instead of hiding behind someone else's formula.

05:30 - Mistakes his clients commit before meeting him: Relying on formulas, templates, scripts, copying others' success, and using AI instead of expressing their own personality quirks.
