Hosted by Michael Cinquino, author of Drop the Act: The Power of Presence in a Performative World™, the show explores what happens when we stop managing perception and start participating fully—in business, relationships, and life. Each episode examines the habits, pressures, and performances that quietly erode trust and connection, and offers grounded, practical ways to show up with greater clarity, steadiness, and honesty when the stakes are real.
