In today's episode, I take you back to my experience at the 2005 Venice Film Festival, where I learned valuable lessons about the difference between fame and success.    As the choreographer of "Romance and Cigarettes," I found myself navigating the red carpet alongside A-listers like Susan Sarandon and James Gandolfini, discovering creative ways to establish my presence without relying on fame.    My story reveals how authenticity and strategic thinking can help you succeed in any environment – even one as glamorous as an international film festival.   In this episode, we'll explore:   The difference between fame and success, and if you can have one without the other How, as a choreographer, I found creative ways to stand out and establish myself alongside famous actors Why strategic preparation is important when you want to be successful The way to focus on genuine success and service rather than fame for fame's sake More from Tricia  Unlock your potential and grow your speaking business during The Art of The Big Talk, my LIVE Two-Day Virtual Masterclass Explore my content and follow me on YouTube Follow me on Instagram  Connect with me on Facebook  Connect with me on LinkedIn  Visit my website at TriciaBrouk.com
