Short YouTube interview clip (Scott Empringham channel) in which host asks Dr. Danny Purcell for the single best speaking 'hack.' Purcell advises that speakers should share their failures rather than successes to build vulnerability and connection—because failures are universal while successes are not, and vulnerability increases audience affinity.

What is the number one speaking hack that'll help you communicate more effectively? Today, I caught up with Dr. Danny Purcell, affectionately known as Jim Carrey, with a PhD, internationally recognized speaker, and here's what he said.
The top thing that most people screw up. If I could give advice to anybody, it's don't tell your audience about your successes. Tell them about your failures. Because not everybody in that room has succeeded, but everybody's failed. And the more you expose yourself to be vulnerable, the more they're going to love you.
