Christopher Kai

I was pacing.

And I remember telling one of my friends named Dustin in college, he said, Christopher, you walk around back and forth.

You pace around when you speak.

I'm like, do I?

No, I don't.

Again, my ego likes to share his opinion, but he showed me the video.

And there I was walking back and forth.

Now, if I walk back and forth, it's because I want to show love to everyone on stage and everyone off stage because it really is a skill set and an art.

And so anyone I talk to, I first always ask them, hey, Mick, what is your end goal?

Do you want to inspire people?

Do you want to make money?

What do you want to do, right?

It's always understanding who your audience is because whenever I meet people that brag about how much they love speaking and have a lot of ego, I run the other way.

I don't care how much money they have.

It's actually easier for me to coach someone who's humble and is not that skilled in speaking because I literally break down what they've learned in the past to rebuild what they want to do in the future.

Because in the speaking world, especially in the speaking to sell world, meaning you're speaking on stage and selling a program like Les Brown does, he is a goat in so many levels because he's 80 years old, as you know, Mick, but I just want to always never assume who's listening and watching because

This man is 80 years old.

And you know this, Nick, because we both met him.

He's like a father figure to you.

This man, his heart, his spirit, he still has that jovial, happy, innocent laugh as if I met him at an eight-year-old kid.
