What’s scarier: writing a book when you swear you’re borderline illiterate… or standing on stage in front of 12,000 people at Inbound? 

Daniel and Jay get real about public speaking. The wins, the disasters, and the stuff nobody tells you before you grab the mic.

You’ll hear Jay’s wild journey writing his new book Stupider People Have Done It (all proceeds go to cancer research), plus the exact tips they use to survive the spotlight without crashing and burning. 

Why shouldn’t you memorize your talk? Turns out, it’s a fast track to boring. Daniel and Jay spill their best hacks for calming nerves, making a real human connection with your audience, and actually keeping people awake during your talk.

If you’ve ever broken into a sweat before a presentation, rushed through too many slides, or wondered what to do with your hands while you’re talking, this one’s for you. 🚽
