SPI 203: How to Command Any Conversation, Meeting, or Interaction You Have with Michael Port

I want to introduce you to the person who's helped me become better speaker, host, and communicator. His name is Michael Port, author of Book Yourself Solid and the new Steal the Show [Amazon affiliate links], and he's a master of commanding conversations.

By “commanding,” I don't mean he bosses his listeners around. For Michael, commanding means being in control of your own communication, getting the output you want, and motivating others to take action. It's a skill he taught me through his Heroic Public Speaking training, and he's joining me today to teach you, too.

Michael's background as an actor inspired him to approach public speaking, interviews, and podcast hosting as he would an acting performance. He'll reveal his strategies for navigating any kind of spontaneous, high-stakes interaction, whether you've got an audience of one or one thousand.

All of us, at some point in our careers, have to grapple with our anxieties around public speaking and communicating. Michael's here to empower you with strategies and advice for conquering those fears like a pro.

Thanks for Listening!
