What if the fear that’s holding you back started with a single moment in childhood? In this deeply honest and inspiring interview, former financial advisor turned TEDx speaking coach Michael Davis shares how he overcame a fear of public speaking, rejection, and self-doubt to build a fulfilling second career helping others find and share their voice.
Michael’s story is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and the power of storytelling. From redefining failure to challenging lifelong beliefs, this episode is packed with practical insights for anyone who wants to speak, sell, or lead more effectively - especially financial professionals looking to connect with their clients on a deeper level.
🔑 Topics Covered:The pivotal moment that launched Michael’s journey into public speaking
Why storytelling is a learnable skill (and essential for advisors)
The three mindset shifts that changed everything
How early childhood experiences shape our adult behaviours…and our results
The root causes of fear and rejection - and how to move past them
How to build trust and rapport with your clients through asking deeper questions
Why your “mental movie” affects every client interaction and how to make it work effectively for you
In this powerful episode, I speak with Michael Davis - founder of Speaking CPR, retired financial advisor, and TEDx coach whose clients’ talks have been viewed over 5 million times. Michael shares the remarkable story of how a single piece of tough feedback changed his life, setting him on a path of personal growth, storytelling mastery, and helping others find their voice.
Together, we explore why mindset is the true driver of success in business, why public speaking is a skill anyone can learn, and how our childhood beliefs subtly shape our adult fears and behaviors. Michael also opens up about the discovery that helped him double his income and transform his relationships - not through working harder, but by finally believing he was worth it.
