On this episode of "What Scares Startups", our guest is Oli Gardner. Founder of Be the Keynote and co-founder of Unbounce, Oli is a globally recognised thought leader on the topics of digital marketing, conversion optimisation, and user experience.

Although his career has spanned everything from software development, graphic design, usability, interaction design, information architecture, and marketing optimization, his newest pursuit at Be the Keynote is to provide equal opportunity and access to anyone who desires to be a better communicator.

Frequently the top-rated speaker at many of the conferences he's attended, Oli has developed methods for presentation design and performance that consistently deliver amazing results. Check it out for yourself at bethekeynote.com.

With Oli, we cover topics like the importance of public speaking skills and why they are so vital to master, the differences between being a solo founder vs. being a part of a founding team, startups as a chance to not only startup a new business but also as a chance to "startup yourself", and the challenges of starting a company as a new parent.

Tune in for all of this and more!
