My guest for Episode #104 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Fred Moore, who has been a professional speaker and entertainer for the past 25 years, including roles as a corporate magician, event emcee, and more. Fred has done over 6,000 performances and presentations in 30 countries.

In today's episode, Fred shares his “favorite mistake” story about putting himself in a position where he was “replaceable” at work. We'll hear about how he was fired from the beginning of a 9-month performing contract. What did Fred learn from this, for his own benefit and to help others learn from his experience?

We talk about that and other topics including:

Mistakes that happen as a stage performer?
Things that REALLY throw you off?
“How can I use my enemies and failure?”
Virtual engagements — Pivots, mistakes, lessons?
Certified Virtual Presenter?
How did you get into magic?
Fred's key lessons:
Be irreplaceable, not a commodity
Nobody cares more about you than you
Wallowing in misery isn't that productive
Haven’t failed if you learned something (videos)
