Inspired by Jen's ten lessons, this week, Pete goes through thirteen lessons around how to become a better communicator.

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about:

  1. Ask yourself, who's it for and what's it for?
  2. Concise is nice.
  3. Find your allies.
  4. You are not a news reader. (Translation: You are not a news anchor.)
  5. Fix your umm.
  6. Be where your feet are.
  7. Slides are not teleprompters.
  8. Have a purple cow.
  9. Tell stories.
  10. Be like a comedian.
  11. Don't be afraid of questions.
  12. Leverage Gen AI.
  13. Don't take yourself so damn seriously.
