A lot of people think the number one challenge of public speaking presentations

is the fear around speaking.

Hey in case you don't notice we're in a different place and Brendan has picked a wonderful place for us to do this

podcast and whenever possible I think it's awesome to be able to do this in person.

People say the energy is different and so I'll just start off with my usual question Brendan.

For people who don't know who you are can you

Chris thanks for having me on the show so my name is Brendan Karmar Sami

I'm the founder of Master Talk Master Talk is a YouTube channel

on the coaching practice, I started to help people

communicate ideas effectively.

And how I got started was when I was in college,

I studied in accounting.

So when I was 19 years old, I'd no ambition of being a communication expert,

and I wanted to work at one of the big four accounting firms,

and then in that journey, I started doing case competitions.

I wasn't really one of those guys.
