His participation in Case Competitions (as Brendan describes them: professional sport for nerds) landed him a role at IBM.

But that’s not enough for him. Brendan started a YouTube channel called MasterTalk, where he teaches others how to unlearn the fear of public speaking.

There’s so much advice packed into this episode - enjoy!
