This book is a journey behind the scenes with the greatest orators of our time, offering a treasure trove of insights that promise to elevate your message and leave an indelible mark on your audience.

Your number-one mission as a speaker is to take something that matters deeply to you and to rebuild it inside the minds of your listeners. We’ll call that something an idea.
