Scwair One presents Speaking of Success (SÖS) — a podcast about public speaking and finding your voice, by someone who's spent his whole life avoiding it. Episode one, solo: why I started this.

I've had a lifelong aversion to speaking.

It started when I was a kid. 
Friends took the piss out of me for stuttering. 
People finished my sentences. 

I went through periods where I couldn't listen back to my own voice – it was so monotone, so flat. 

I put people to sleep. I still do. 
My wife nodded off last week as I talked about work.

And yet I've spent 20 years helping other people communicate.
Behind the camera. Behind the brand. Very comfortable back there.

This podcast exists because I finally got uncomfortable.

Speaking of Success / SÖS – is for people who are crap at speaking but want to be better. Not a masterclass. Not a performance coach telling you to stand up straight. Just honest conversations about what it actually takes to find your voice – from people who've done it, and one person who's still figuring it out.

That person is me.

Episode one I'm flying solo.
Or at least... crawling to the start line on my own.
Where this started, why now, and what I'm hoping this becomes.

The guests start from episode two.

If you feel like me about speaking... let's talk.
We just might get along.

I'm Andy Greenhouse.
And I'm a creative evolutionist.
I help people, brands and businesses evolve in an ever-changing landscape.
