BUILD A BETTER IDEA: Enroll in the Idea Lab now

EVERYTHING gets better and easier if you have a stronger idea driving your work. More than expertise, it's how you SEE your expertise, your topic, your industry.

ABOUT ME, JAY ACUNZO

I'm a public speaking and storytelling advisor trusted by bestselling authors, professional speakers, seven-figure coaches, and brands like Disney and Salesforce.

Before starting my advisory firm (where I work 1:1 with clients and run group programs), I was a digital media strategist at Google and head of content for 3 organizations, including HubSpot.

I've given keynotes across the US and several other countries to marketers and managers, designers and dentists, leaders and landscapers, and my journey as a speaker has been featured in 3 different books.

Today, I teach business leaders how to communicate with greater resonance, and I advise paid speakers on how to grow their businesses and their impact.

Can we make this closing story more awesome? In the closer for his keynote, Ryan Hawk delivers a metaphorical story. But there are some structural issues, a bit too much "throat clearing," and some golden threads poking through that haven't been pulled quite yet.

Plus, Ryan and I talk about what we say to ourselves before hitting the stage, who we admire and how we borrow from them as speakers, and what actually putting in the work as speakers looks like.

On WHY THEY RESONATE, speakers, authors, experts, and entrepreneurs develop their ideas in real-time, so you can see what it really takes to resonate.

You'll hear how new ideas take shape, speeches become great, and stories evolve from meh to memorable. The show is part celebration, part workshop, and you'll walk away ready to compete on the influence of your ideas, not the volume of your marketing.

My friend Joe Pulizzi sent me the ideas driving his 2 podcasts and his book, Burn the Playbook. He asked if he was thinking about premise development correctly. Naturally, I had to record my take for you to hear too.
