You’re not being ignored because your ideas are bad — you’re being ignored because your delivery is forgettable.

Why “winging it” is sabotaging your credibility
The 3 parts of a message your audience always remembers
How to craft punchy openings, unforgettable closings, and sticky metaphors
What “theftosterone” is — and how to protect your ideas from being stolen
