Description

What do you do when 100 seats are set and only 6 people show up?

In this episode, Brian and Jo talk about showing up anyway, how real speakers adapt, stay present, and still make it count when the room isn’t what they hoped.

We discussed:

What do you do when only six people show up?

Why younger speakers panic (and how to stop)

How to adjust when the plan breaks

The gap between good speakers and paid ones

You don’t need more applause, you need more flight time
