Let's do it.

Welcome to Scoop, where you get the Scoop on this week's news.

0:05.4

My name is Jenna and this is Smarter News.

Hello, everyone.

0:19.0

It's great to see you on a special spring break edition of Scoop.

0:23.1

We're not to the part yet where we're broadcasting live from a beach somewhere with fruity cocktails in our hands.

0:30.0

Or coffee, ice coffee might be more appropriate for the time of our Scoop broadcast and for our persuasion, which is a very, very serious, quick,

reporting. I've made a lot of mistakes throughout my career when it comes to public speaking,

1:50.9

and that's one of the things I want to reflect on today with you, so we can work through some
