Why would anyone care about what I have to say?
May 07, 2020 11:30 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBHi, I’m Alex Perry host of the Practically Speaking podcast, where I demystify and simplify public speaking so you can say what you need and want to say.

It's no wonder you hate public speaking.

Why, when you finally do make your way through whatever speaking thing you’ve got to ...

Let me tell you how all of this got started. I've been going to conferences, listening to top performers and speaking gurus my whole life.
