Avoid this major mistake many speakers make

Avoid this major mistake many speakers make when taking the stage as an Author.

Showing up is essential, but showing up with the right punchline is a game-changer.

A well-placed joke can hook your audience, but nothing is as impactful as wrapping up with an emotional story.

That’s where you turn listeners into lifelong fans.

In this episode of the Rising Author Experience Show, I’m sitting down with Jeff Birk—a stand-up comedian turned speaker trainer.

Jeff has opened for legends like Jay Leno, Martin Short, and Wanda Sykes, to name a few.

With over two decades of experience, he's headlined countless shows and knows exactly how to keep audiences on their feet.

Jeff’s also the bestselling author of "Train Like a Rockstar: Speaking Tips from a Stand-Up Comedian."

I got the chance to chat while he was in Phoenix rocking the stage, and trust me—you don’t want to miss this.
