What this episode covers
Your impact begins before you say a word, and most audiences have already made up their mind about you within seconds. What you do in those opening moments can either build trust and credibility… or quietly work against you. Former executive at RBC, Tony Bagnato sits down with Rob to explore how presence and confidence shape the way audiences experience you long before your content even begins. Drawing from years in high-stakes leadership roles, Tony breaks down what it takes to command a room, connect with intention, and elevate the way you show up as a speaker.
