In this brief dialogue, Tom Krieglstein and a co‑speaker explore unconventional, emotionally driven ways to close a speech. They argue that sharing personal, vulnerable stories can move the audience to tears, creating a lasting impact. If the audience doesn’t cry, they suggest switching to a light‑hearted karaoke moment to keep the emotional momentum alive. Finally, they introduce a “Drop the Mic” style ending as a bold, memorable finish.

We're sharing personal stories about the challenges we face in our lives that they can relate to. And they leave in a space that's going to alter the way they think about everything else in their lives.
This is when they cry.
And cry.
Cue the crying.
And if you don't cry.
You sing karaoke for it.
Yes. We just keep going. I'll just keep singing. It is called Drop the Mic, and it's two great ways to end a speech and remember to close out that way.
