Ep #71: Do you remember people speaking on the stage or giving a presentation when you literally want to fall asleep because it's so boring? You don't want to be this kind of speaker.

Today we got a brilliant guest Mike Ganino who shares how to turn a boring talk into a powerful speech.

Mike is a communication + storytelling consultant and speaker who helps executives, teams, and thought leaders communicate, connect, and engage. He is the author of Company Culture for Dummies and has been named a top 30 Culture Speaker by Global Guru.
