Rewind: When The Performance Ends And The Next Act Begins, with Mike Koenigs
Everybody has met someone who people are drawn to for reasons they can’t explain, and being one of those people comes with serious challenges. Dan Sullivan, Gord Vickman, and guest Mike Koenigs discuss the “X factor,” how celebrities view themselves, and different ways of being who your audience wants to see. Show Notes: There’s a certain level of stardom where the celebrity can separate themselves from the business and know where they are. A key for some performers is to maintain a complete separation between who they really are and who they are onstage. People fall in love with who they interpret you to be, not necessarily who you are. Enormous complexity in the world means that people like having someone who has simple, basic principles that work forever. Some young people want to be filmed and admired, not necessarily for what they’ve done, but just for who they are. Gen Zs want to hear from other Gen Zs because they don’t trust anyone else, and outsiders don’t understand their value system. Every generation wants to differentiate themselves from generations that came before them. An act of life isn’t required to make an act of art.
