Kevin Darant ,

Great resource for introverts!

Just found this podcast and really enjoyed ep. 33 where Ben interviews Victoria Lioznyansky. I loved hearing about her journey and experience with learning to become a confident public speaker. This episode is personal and down-to-earth, but also jam-packed with strategy and tips, even science! Great episode! Thanks!
