The Mike Drop Moment

This week, I’m inviting you into a truly special moment—the Make a Scene book launch party! We celebrated in style here at the Mic Drop Method World Headquarters in Los Angeles with friends, family, clients, and colleagues. There was sangria, a red carpet, and so much love in the room for this book, and I’m thrilled to share part of the experience with you.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A live reading from the book (including the emotional dedication to my daughter, Viviana).
• Stories behind the book’s creation—like how an E.T. backpack at the airport gave me the sign I needed to keep a chapter.
• The evolution of Make a Scene through multiple drafts and plenty of late nights.
• Why this book isn’t just for keynote speakers but for anyone who’s ever been told they’re too much, too quiet, or just not enough.

This book—and this party—are about celebrating your voice, your story, and your power. I hope it inspires you to step up, speak out, and, of course, make a scene.
