Speaking With Confidence · How Asking Questions Builds True Communication Confidence · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Tim, it is wonderful to be here.

I'm looking forward to our conversation, my man.

Well, it was a little bit of uh dumb luck and thinking I had a really cool idea that I wanted to share and other people agreeing with it, so

Uh when I when I launched my podcast that used to be called The Follow Up in 2020, uh I I just set out on this exploration to figure out how we find common ground and how do we communicate across those differences and disagreements and divides and

As I got into it, I I more and more realized

There's something here.

I've uncovered something.

My journalist background was like there's a story that other people need to hear now.

And how the heck do I get that out besides my podcast?

And I just said, I know, I'll try it to do a TEDx talk.

And lo and behold, there was a brand new event just down the road from me here in Colorado.

Uh TEDx Manitou Springs.

It's a tiny little community, mountain community right outside of Colorado.

Colorado Springs.

They were getting ready to put on their first ever event.

And so I reached out to the organizer, Nikki Gates.

I reached out to her on LinkedIn.

I said, Hey.

I've got an idea that I would love to bring to your stage for your first event.

If you're still accepting speakers, I'd love to throw my hat in the ring.
