Fear of public speaking holds more entrepreneurs back than almost any other skill. In this episode of What the Nell!? Podcast, Nell sits down with returning guest Leslie Fiorenzo, founder and CEO of Business Speaking Solutions, to break down how to overcome stage fright, speak with confidence, and connect with audiences in a world increasingly influenced by AI.

If sweaty palms and racing thoughts hit every time you step in front of an audience—or even introduce yourself at a networking event—this conversation will change how you approach speaking forever.
