Show notes

When it comes to learning the mechanics of world-class speaking, who might we look up to as role models? It is not the highest-paid speakers, celebrities, or politicians, but rather the World Championship of Public Speaking winners who truly set the benchmark. They are the masters who have turned this craft into a science. Today's guest is Ed Tate, himself a World Championship winner, and one of Rory's early idols. Ed is a Certified Speaking Professional and has been a corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and executive coach for people who want to make winning high stakes presentations for over 20 years. He joins us on the show today to share his perspectives about what building a reputation and staying on top of your game truly means.

Luvvie Ajayi Recap: Highlights from the Interview Feb 06, 2020

Show notes

This episode serves as a recap and debrief of our most recent interview with Luvvie Ajayi. One of the biggest takeaways from our time with Luvvie was her boldness and the fact that she is not scared of being herself. She shouldn't be taken as mean or nasty though because the actual source of her gestures as a writer and social commentator is an unflinching devotion to being real. Her genuineness, persistence, and resolve to follow her internal voice are some of the things that her success can be attributed to. During this episode we deconstruct her process, talking about the value of consistency, how fear and confidence relate to authenticity, the use of an avatar strategy for refining your message, and a whole lot more.

Following Your Life's Calling in the Face of Persistent Fear with Luvvie Ajayi Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Today's guest is Luvvie Ajayi, a New York Times bestselling author and speaker who uses her voice to inspire and critique. She recently published the hugely successful I'm Judging You, runs a life and business school called The Do-Better Academy, and the TED Talk she did has over four million views! Luvvie straddles the line between comedy and activism, readily critiquing pop culture and advocating for minority rights. In this episode, Luvvie gets into the central role that writing, persistence, and authenticity have played in getting her where she is today. When Luvvie's original plan to be a doctor fell by the wayside, she simply followed her heart and did whatever she felt like next, never letting fear get in the way. Her experience of regret after shying away from fearful things was more damaging to her than doing the things themselves, and today she speaks about how this tendency helped her fall into one success after another. We also hear her thoughts on her new book, which advocates for people to learn how to judge each other about things that matter and how that could create a more just society. It all comes down to listening to that dream which is always in front of us, and the knowledge Luvvie shares today about how to do that would be valuable to anybody looking for a push.

Andy has appeared on national television over 200 times and is the type of personality who doesn't just regurgitate the same act but has rather continued to deliver unique and timeless works throughout his lengthy career. Today we drive home the theme of noticing Andy spoke of a lot – how it seems to penetrate much of his approach to work and outlook on life too. You will discover some essential skills any writer or speaker should have, such as the necessity of first being a student, and cultivating the ability to make connections between things that other people don't.

The Professional Noticer with Andy Andrews Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

Every public personality has a unique skill or trait that they leverage to build their audience. Some are one-trick ponies though and tend to have career arcs that begin to dip as they bring out new acts that are just repackaged versions of old ones. Andy Andrews is a personality of a different order though, and we are so grateful to have him on the show today to share the steps he has taken to stay relevant over the entire span of his career.
