John R. Miles

for myself to practice.

I got really involved with improv and I also got involved with Toastmasters.

And I did both of them because I think as a speaker, there are a lot of times you hit awkward moments.

You never know what is going to hit you.

One of the most awkward moments I ever had was I was speaking at the Dreamforce conference.

There were almost 50,000 people in the audience and Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas was in the front row

And he was doing this to to Mark Benioff and I on stage trying to make us crack up and trying to look out in the crowd and avoid him while keeping a straight face was an extremely awkward moment for me.

What has been have you ever had an awkward moment on stage?

I hope you're enjoying my conversation with Hannah Pryor.

Before we continue, I want to pause on something important.

Listening to a podcast is one thing.

Becoming the person you're listening for is another.

Every single week, people tell me, John, I love these conversations, but how do I actually do this in my life?

That's exactly why we create companion workbooks for each episode.

Simple, powerful tools to help you apply what you discover here.

Because becoming isn't passive, it's a choice you repeat.

You can download all our free workbooks in the sub-stack posts that go along with each episode.
