Tackling Stage Fakery: Authenticity in Speaking and Presenting

Want to stand out without selling out, start here. John sits down with Marianne Hickman to call time on stage fakery, trauma dumping, and confidence without competence. We cover why the mic is a sacred space, tell stories from scars not open wounds, how humour speeds learning, and the white belt mindset that keeps you sharp and bookable. We also unpack the Utah bro archetype, Dunning–Kruger, and practical ways to hold a room when slides die or plans change. You will learn: · How to open by connecting, then perform with the room behind you · Scars vs open wounds, where the ethical line really is · Using humour and open mics to teach better and stick in memory · White belt mindset for authority without the guru ick · Handling onstage mishaps with “yes, and” calm · Signals of confidence without competence that audiences clock Chapters 00:00 Cold open, why audiences are done with fakery 02:45 Mic as sacred space, scars not wounds 10:20 Connect first, then perform, practical openers 16:30 Humour as learning accelerator 22:40 Yes, and, turning mishaps into moments 31:10 Confidence without competence, spotting Dunning–Kruger 39:30 Beyond guru culture, building ethical authority 49:20 White belt mindset, staying credible 53:30 How to connect with Marianne 54:40 Takeaway and next steps About Marianne Find Marianne by searching her name on socials, she shares her number in the show for direct connections.
