    Why Copying Great Speakers Fails: How to Speak With Authority Using Your Own Experience | Ep. 97

    Ever watch a great speaker and think, "I wish I could sound like that"? Here's the problem: copying great speakers makes you worse, not better. In this episode, I break down Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech—not to teach you his style, but to reveal his process. The speech wasn't planned. It was a "rhetorical scrapbook" of material he'd been testing for years. When Mahalia Jackson yelled "Tell them about the dream, Martin," he had the mental library to improvise 4 minutes that changed history. You'll learn: Why MLK's authority came from his context (and how to find yours)The "Stitch & Deliver" method for building your own speaking libraryHow to prepare so you can improvise in high-stakes momentsWhat to study from great speakers (and what to ignore)Great communication isn't about being MLK. It's about being you with better tools. Start your rhetorical scrapbook today. An easy way to send me a message? Click the link here. Support the show Have you enjoyed the podcast?

    How to Have Aura in 2026 | Ep. 95

    One of the most conceptual episodes I've created. What is aura? And how can you harness it to improve how you connect with the people around you?  Some people just feel good to be around. In this episode, we unpack why. We talk about aura as alignment — between who you are, how you show up, and how you read the moment — and how that quietly changes your confidence, relationships, and opportunities.

    This episode is for anyone who is struggling with how they're using AI for their creative hobbies. It's one thing to outsource washing the dishes to the Maytag Dishwasher.
