Judi’s friend, fellow improv queen, and entrepreneur Erin Diehl is on the show! Tune in as the ladies share how improv saved their businesses in 2020 and hear a special treat of them doing live improv using “Yes, And.”
Judi and Erin also talk about reframing your mindset around failure, how to know when to take risks, and why you want to adopt the “Yes, And” culture into your business and brainstorming sessions.
In this episode of Yes, And:
- Hear Erin’s journey from professional dance to improv
- How to be authentic and truthful in your comedy
- How improv saved Erin & Judi’s businesses and lives
- Erin & Judi do live improv using “Yes, And”
- How failure plays a role in success
- How to know when to take risks & try something new
- Infertility, being a mom, & running a business
Top 3 quotes:
- The people who live and breathe “Yes, And” are putting more good out into the world because they are postponing judgment, allowing others to feel heard, and allowing others to share their voice.
- I’m a firm believer that if everyone could take an improv class, the world would be a better place.
- If you’re not failing, you’re not trying enough. It’s putting yourself out there, seeing what sticks, learning from what doesn’t stick, and then trying again because that’s what makes a rich life—it’s that try.
