Well, when you do that, you've unlocked your brain to do what it's really good at, which is make real-time decisions between one word and another. But you've deeply, deeply enhanced your brain's concentration on that crucial activity of choosing words.

And so, therefore, the ums go away as a byproduct of you actively trying to choose your words, as opposed to just opening your mouth and letting a bunch of words tumble out.

Half my time on stage was slightly equivalent to torture. Painful, agonizingly self-conscious, hyper-aware of every little thing, and relentlessly self-critical. For many people, public speaking is equivalent to agony. If you give them very concrete things that they can do and succeed at, they can get past this agonizing moment and experience a little tiny brief moment of victory.

So it was this really powerful moment of kinesthetic learning.

Yeah, I knew that. I mean, of course, I did a little research about you. And that's the coolest thing, because you have already a shorthand vocabulary for a lot of this. And my parents, similar, were both professional cellists.

Yeah, similar kind of artistic passion. But yeah, my mom, in fact, is retiring from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra after 63 years. Wow. Wow. Symphony orchestra. Yeah. My dad played more than 50. So together they have something absurd, like 115 years in the symphony or something crazy.

Hilariously, nothing of the kind. I come from a blended family, eight of us kids all together, and none pursued professional music. So I don't know if it skips a generation or what that would be, but I actually was focused on, I wanted to be a paleontologist or an archaeologist or a marine biologist, and that obviously is not what has come to pass.

So I didn't really get interested in, let's call it, communications of any kind until middle school and high school, and that was when I was getting into theater a little bit. The pivot I'll hone in on is actually fast-forwarding all the way until about 2010 or so, which is I was a professional actor for about 10 years, Broadway, film, and TV.
