Take a swig of maple syrup for episode seventy-four of The Presentation Boss Podcast. Today we have the world-famous Canadian speaker, Scott Stratten. He's famous for his man-bun, talks on marketing and 'the millennial rant'. Anyone who listens to enough content in the world of presentations ought not to be a stranger to this guy's work.

Kate and Thomas always carefully plan out questions for each guest, and the same happened here. But when we jumped on the call, Scott began outlining how he has recently shifted some of his thinking about his own style and techniques and the conversation flowed away from the prepared questions.

Turns out when you mix a Canadian and two Australians, good things can happen and conversation flows super easily. And this recording not only went longer than usual and had plenty of laughs mixed in with the gold, but it was deep, raw and vulnerable. And dang can Scott tell a brilliant story!
