Listen Later

What happens when a self-described introvert steps up, faces the fear, and starts building impact?

In this episode of Fry Your Chickens, Phil Barth talks with longtime friend Michael J. Pope Jr. — Distinguished Toastmaster, Maxwell Leadership faculty member, and author of Doers Win the Day.

They dive into the chickens Michael had to fry to get from terrified speaker… to trusted mentor for speakers, coaches, and leaders around the world.

You’ll hear:

  • How introverts can become powerful communicators

  • Michael’s “STOP” technique to crush hesitation and self-doubt

  • Why servant leadership (inspired by his Grandpa Joe) fuels everything he does

  • How he ended up working alongside John Maxwell — by serving others first

  • His go-to tactics for balancing multiple careers, family life, and faith

  • And why winning the day starts the night before

This one’s packed with wisdom, action steps, and real talk about what it takes to show up fully — even when fear’s squawking in your ear.
