Fail Forward:

I was 10 years old and I failed at a contest. From that moment on, I never wanted to feel that way again. Thus, I started to master my craft of being an impactful and dynamic public speaker.

Lightbulb Moment:

The truth it transferrable no matter what activity you’re doing. Always focus on telling the truth in business.

Success Hack:

Become a great storyteller, and speak from your personal experiences so the listener is inspired to take action.
Quit multitasking. Multi-tasking is a myth.

Randomness Round:

Best advice you have ever received? Engage your listener. You have got to get people involved either physically or intellectually in what you are saying if you want them to pay attention.
