Hunted by Story with Eduardo Placer
In this episode, Bree, Liz, and guest host Blake Dremann are joined by Eduardo Placer, who brings a lifetime of performance—from musicals to keynote stages—into a fearless conversation about leadership, discomfort, and storytelling. Eduardo reflects on his family’s refugee history, the lessons of bilingual identity, and the role of discomfort as a crucible for resilience. With humor and candor, Eduardo outlines five pillars of powerful speaking, shares why naps and kindness are part of his resilience practice, and invites us to lean into the messy, beautiful work of leading as an embodied practice: not bad acting or “toxic alpha drag,” but presence, curiosity, and connection. For anyone struggling with nerves, perfectionism, or shame, this conversation is a reminder that discomfort is not the enemy—it’s the fire that forges us.If you're a speaker, visit Eduardo's website for this five-minute, pre-stage power-up.From Eduardo: As someone who’s walked through uncertainty and emerged stronger, I’m excited to share a FREE, quick, five-minute pre-stage power-up that helps transform nerves into embodied presence—because queer leadership is about stepping onto any stage with clarity, connection, and confidence.
