5 Steps To Make Your First Million - Mike Lane Evans and Harry Sardinas
Mike Lane Evans, who transitioned from a career as an actor to a communication coach. Mike discusses the challenges in communication, focusing on the fear of public speaking and the importance of the 10,000-hour rule. He emphasizes storytelling, the trust equation, and nonverbal communication's role in building trust. Mike provides a step-by-step blueprint for improving communication and successfully raising funds, highlighting evolving questions and building connections. He outlines a five-step process for pitching: identifying pain points, market research, testing, building the product, and making emotional connections with customers.
In under a decade, Mike went from being a professional West End actor, to helping startup owners to successfully raise over $200MM collectively in successful investment pitches.
After hitting a low point in his acting career not getting the roles he wanted, he made a breakthrough when consulting with the British military to improve their communication. The result: he developed a communication and presentation toolkit that transformed his career.
Since then, he's helped 1,000+ entrepreneurs and senior leaders to make a powerful impact in pitches, presentations, public speaking, and internal company communications.
Mike offers a framework on how to achieve authentic confidence, charisma, and presence without relying on cookie-cutter gestures or templated communication scripts.
