298: How to Think on Your Feet: Why It's Not a Speed Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You finally push yourself to go to the conference, the networking event, or the executive dinner. Introductions go around the room, someone asks you a question, and your mind goes blank. In this episode, Sean Barnes reframes that freeze. It isn't that you think too slowly, he argues, it's that you have too many tabs open.

Read excerpt
Most people who want to speak on stage have no idea how the first step actually happens. JD Miller does. He is the CEO of the James Duane Group and SVP at CyberRisk Alliance, he runs events across the country, and he decides who gets a microphone and who does not. In this conversation, Sean Barnes and JD break down the real progression from nobody to keynote speaker. It starts with a phone and a tripod in your living room.
