👤 SpeakerAppearances Over Time
Podcast Appearances
We are really reluctant to listen to ourselves speak.
Now, as a podcast host, you do all the time.
So you catch things in your edits and review that have made you a better speaker naturally, even though I said speaking isn't natural, but the process of listening to yourself.
I had a speaker not want to listen to themselves and refused then in that moment to not learn and not get better.
It's so painful.
But one minute of listening to yourself puts yourself in the audience.
And all of a sudden, you're like, wait, do I want to be listening to myself?
Yeah.
Right.
So the first one and the last one are definitely the most important.
Speaking is habitual.
Speaking requires feedback.
And oh, speaking is messy.
That's the last one.
There's always something we forget.
Speaking is messy.
And this goes back to the points.
There's a messy middle in every talk we give.
We think we know what we're going to say.
And we think we're down.
