How to Become a Better Public Speaker

So if you look at, oh, I want to become someone that can give a talk in front of 25,000 people on a stage, that seems like an insurmountable task for someone like me that's never done that. And that's not my thing. It's like, oh, well, what does that involve? Number one, you have to have kind of overcome— I didn't have like stage fright. I had severe stage anxiety, right? Stage fright is like, oh, there's a ship that's going to come down from space and just suck you up because you were so bad. And stage anxiety is like, man, I wish a spaceship would come down and suck me off this stage right now. I want to get off. there's that, like, don't, you know, don't pass out on stage. And then there's the, oh, you learn about storytelling, you learn about writing, you learn about slide design, you learn about humor. And I did all those things, right? Read books, took classes on all those components of public speaking. And in aggregate, I'm okay now, right? Like, I can do that. And you then again, then it's practice and you do it over time.
