What this episode covers
Most new speakers walk onstage thinking their job is to perform. Perform well and you might impress a room… but it’s a meaningful message that earns respect, and revenue. Storytelling Brand Strategist, coach and TEDx speaker Tina Brigley sits down with Rob to unpack what separates a polished presentation from a purpose-driven talk. Drawing from her work coaching thousands of entrepreneurs, Tina shares how speakers can move beyond slides and tactics to bring belief, clarity, and soul into a signature message that truly connects.
