Be Authentic or GTFO!
Hey everybody, I'm Eric Oberembt. I want to thank you all for following and tuning into my new podcast, Be Authentic or GET THE F*CK OUT! If you know me, you know that I value keeping it real and leading with authenticity. That’s what this podcast is all about. 👊🏼 The only requirement to be a guest is that you are being authentic to who you are. If you're not, I'll shut It down and ask you to leave. "When you show up authentic, you create a space for others to do the same. Walk in your truth!"
