The Keynote That Went Sideways | Dennis Moseley-Williams on Over-Preparation and Flow

Dennis Moseley-Williams joins Matt Zeigler for a conversation on creativity, preparation, and authenticity in the experience economy. They explore what it means to truly “show up” — balancing the control of preparation with the freedom of flow. From keynotes gone sideways to customer secrets and the power of belonging, Dennis shares personal stories and insights on how businesses — and people — can create genuine connections by being real, weird, and specific. Topics covered: • Knowing your stuff vs. controlling the chaos • The difference between keynotes and workshops • What it means to “show up” as your full self • Why over-preparation kills creativity (and how ChatGPT plays into it) • The Elvis Costello opening — starting with energy and authenticity • Authenticity in the experience economy • The role of customer secrets in creating magic • When businesses become communities — “niche, niche, weird” • How structure and ritual create freedom and flow • Lessons from a keynote gone wrong — and how to recover Timestamps: 00:00 Intro and setup 05:00 The power of customer secrets 08:00 Why preparation matters (and when it goes too far) 11:00 Knowing your stuff vs. controlling the chaos 15:00 Preparing vs. performing — finding your flow 17:00 The Elvis Costello opening 21:00 Authenticity and chemistry with audiences 27:00 The rise of individuality and belonging 29:00 Niche, niche, weird — when businesses become communities 33:00 The keynote nightmare story 37:00 Lessons learned from failure 39:00 Launching a new show and embracing flow 42:00 The importance of sweating the small stuff 43:00 Structure creates freedom 44:00 Where to find Dennis online Did you see when Julia Duthie (@Peopleareeverything    / @peopleareeverything   ) met Nancy Burger (‪@nancyburger6559‬) on Just Press Record?    • The Power of Midlife Reinvention | Nancy B...   What about when Dennis Moseley Williams (‪@seriousshift‬ ) met Josh Spector (‪@JoshSpectorVideos‬ )?    • Stop Being Boring: A Marketing Masterclass...   Watch every Just Press Record ever here:    • Just Press Record   Is your attention span too short for full episodes?
