đŸ’¯. My ex co founder was doing standup and had some small roles in French series.

Every time we were pitching in a startup contest or in front of VCs, he was nailing it. I remember one guy who was pitching right after us asking "I'm supposed to pitch after THAT ???"

Ha, that's one of the best things you can hear after a presentation (aside from "I'm in!"). A great testament to the power of strong presentation skills.

Another great article. I've never been afraid of public speaking, but after doing stand-up comedy for the past six years, my confidence in speaking has increased exponentially!

That's a great point. Getting reps in stand-up helps even the stronger presenters get better.

Hi Andrew,

I signed up for the open mic on Monday (April 27).

When would we receive confirmation with the joining details?
