As creative professionals, we’re constantly balancing artistry, business, and human connection — but how do we truly master the people side of what we do? In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Vercoe, a marriage celebrant, MC, and live event expert who has spent years perfecting the art of reading a room, building trust, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impact.
I hope this conversation challenges you to think beyond your craft and focus on how you make people feel. Matty shares insights on:
- How to build genuine connections with clients & audiences
- The power of adaptability — handling pressure & unexpected challenges
- Why emotion and experience matter more than technical perfection
- Overcoming self-doubt and finding confidence in your craft
- How to balance preparation with spontaneity for more authentic work
This episode is packed with real-world lessons from someone who performs live for a living, but the takeaways apply to any creative field. If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, felt pressure to "get it right," or wanted to deepen your impact beyond just the work you create, this one's for you.
