Smashing the Plateau Guest Instructions
Thank you so much for agreeing to be a guest on Smashing the Plateau. It is a pleasure to be able to feature you.
The mission of Smashing the Plateau is empowering corporate refugees to do more of what they love and get paid what they’re worth.
Stories resonate with listeners. How you overcame adversity or are currently dealing with a challenge can inspire listeners to find opportunities for growth. Sharing personal stories helps break down barriers and allows listeners to see the common humanity in all of us. Being open about your experiences creates a strong connection with listeners, making the story more relatable and inspiring listeners to take action that will impact their lives.
