Keynote at #Purdue University.

When my first ever speaking engagement concluded, people couldn't wait to leave.

I remember taking it so personally; I felt like I did my audience a disservice. I was like a boring math teacher who talked at #students about numbers for the entirety of the session.

That's why it meant so much to me when this massive crowd of students approached me after my #keynote at #Purdue University.

The biggest difference between my performance then vs. now is that I utilize the power of storytelling.

In 2019, if you want people to pay attention to your talk for longer than 5 minutes, and you're not a celebrity, then you have to tell a great story.

Narrative is everything!
