Brant and and I sat down to talk about his book, The 3-Minute Rule.

It is a guide to simplifying and structuring your pitch so that anyone can understand your message in just three minutes. The core idea is that you only have a few moments to capture your audience’s attention, so you need to communicate clearly, concisely, and with impact.

Pinvidic breaks down the approach into four essential sections:

1. Why: Start with why your idea matters to your audience, connecting directly to what they care about.
2. What: Clearly explain what your product, idea, or solution is in simple terms.
3. How: Briefly outline how it works or how you plan to achieve your goals, providing enough detail to show credibility without overwhelming.
4. What’s in it for them: Close by addressing the value to your audience—what they'll gain or how it solves their problem.
