Jason Michaels joins us today to talk about performing as a magician and … overcoming Tourette Syndrome. Accomplishing the impossible can seem daunting. Impossible, even. But what is impossible anyway? Often times it is a self-limiting thought revolving around our mind. We feel trapped by it and allow it to keep us from our fun potential.

Jason Michaels has learned to overcome such limitations and proves it every time he steps on stage.

We cover quite about of ground in this episode. Specifically, we talk about:

  • Getting started in magic
  • How acting helped him notice he could focus
  • Learning he had Tourettes syndrome
  • Key to getting good volunteers on stage
  • Discovering his show is not about him
  • A mentor to helped him tell his story
  • His new book
  • Creating a web site that sells
