About this episode

Tricia Rose Burt reflects on her TEDx talk about a pivotal decision from her past and its impact on her life.

I open up about giving my own TEDx talk at TEDx Portsmouth in May — built around a question that's haunted me for 35 years: what if I'd said yes to a free demo reel offer from a major New York radio station back when I was 28? I walk through what it cost me to play it safe, the audacious move I made to finally set things right, and how you all responded.
