Show Notes

Season Two begins with the worst heckle of my life; an unforgettable and brutal comedy experience on a cruise ship gig where my best material fell flat, and a man in his 80s publicly heckled me.

Through this process, I learnt one of the most important skills of my entire career: perception.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the worst gig of my life and share how that humiliation became the foundation of my new book, The Little Book of Influence.

Because influence doesn’t begin with speaking. It begins with seeing.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The disastrous cruise gig
  • The heckle I’ll never forget (and what it taught me)
  • How I bulldozed my agenda and completely misread the room
  • Why perception is the core of communication
  • The non-verbal cues we miss when we’re performing instead of connecting
  • How this night became Chapter One of my new book
  • The moment everything about my speaking and presence changed
