Description

Most founders believe public speaking is an innate talent they'll never master. That self-limiting belief costs them funding, partnerships, and market credibility. Chris Anderson, TED's curator since 2002, analyzed hundreds of talks that generated millions in value and identified the exact framework that separates forgettable pitches from game-changing presentations.




The Marketing Execution Podcast breaks down Anderson's proven methodology: throughline development, the 60-second attention window, and the Rule of Three for maximum message retention. You'll learn why scripted-and-memorized beats winging it every time, how to weaponize storytelling for enterprise buyers, and the neuroscience behind shocking moments that make your pitch unforgettable. We'll also cover Carmine Gallo's multisensory presentation framework that increases information retention from 10% to 65%. These aren't soft skills; they're revenue-critical GTM capabilities that determine whether your next board presentation, customer pitch, or conference keynote drives pipeline or falls flat.




Mark Donnigan brings two decades of scaling tech startups and generating over $500M in shareholder value to decode what actually works when technical founders need to communicate complex innovation to non-technical audiences.
