Description

In this episode, we share a powerful lesson from a recent pitch practice session with a founder whose natural charisma backfired. While being articulate and engaging can be a superpower, it can also lead to rambling when clarity matters most. We talk about why “less is more” applies just as much to live pitches as it does to pitch decks—and how embracing silence can actually project more confidence. If you’ve ever talked yourself in circles during a meeting, this one’s for you.
