A speaker reflects on eight years of YouTube fitness content to argue that public speaking delivers the highest return on investment for career growth. Master communication and you unlock leadership opportunities across every field.
If you go on my YouTube channel right now, you'll see that my first video was three years ago. That's not my first video. I've unlisted hundreds of videos. They were back when I was doing fitness content eight years ago in college at Arizona State University. So the reason I'm sharing that, though, is because eight years ago is when I first started on YouTube. I didn't start three years ago. I didn't start last year. I started eight years ago talking to a camera, being the guy holding it up, saying, all right, 5am gonna go hit him. And, you know, I'm, like, building muscle and shit. Or, like, trying to build muscle. I'm skinny as, like, trying to build, you know, overcome my genetics was the. So the reason why I'm here in front of you right now. And maybe, you know, whatever you think about my speaking ability is, whatever you think, but it's because I've had years of reps and work put into this. This is the highest ROI skill you can have as a leader in your business and in your life. Public speaking, being able to inspire, motivate, and get other people to take action. It's the same with sales. It's the same with marketing. But public speaking is the way you can grow your business tremendously.
