Their category of one. Today I'm here to announce the launch of our Public Speaking fellowship that will enable you to scale yourself with the power of words. Almost 75% of the world today has glossophobia, which is the fear of public speaking. Me, I was once upon a time a shy guy. But with the help of my coach and with the help of deliberate practice, I was able to build my category of 1. Give TED talks, speak internationally at the best of universities, deliver guest lectures, even get a small role in a movie. All of this was possible because I learned to enjoy the form of connecting with audience. And in the fellowship, we're going to help you find your audience, find your voice and find the audience market fit. This is easier said than done. This is not something that can be enabled by downloading an app or there isn't a quick fix or a shortcut for it. Just like swimming, just like cooking, you have to actually put your thrill, put yourself through the process, have a coach and with the help of a community, guide yourself or nudge yourself towards success. Charlie Munger Warren Buffet Especially Warren Buffet, who's perhaps the world's most successful investor ever, says that the best investment he's ever made is that in a public speaking course by a person called Dale Carnegie. Warren Buffet used to struggle to communicate his ideas. He used to be afraid of public speaking. But once he went through the program and once he committed to becoming a better public speaker, over the course of years, he was able to build his unique personality online. Today, whether you're a middle manager, whether you're a senior manager, whether you're a founder looking for investors, whether you're an investor looking to connect with the best of founders, whether you're a marketeer, whether you're preparing for your interviews, for jobs for business schools, for college programs, what have you. The ability to communicate and speak clearly, enunciate powerfully, speak in a way that holds attention or grabs attention of the reader, is something that will hold you well. It's one investment that will pay off for the rest of your life. And I encourage you to join us on on January 15th when we kickstart our program. If you have any questions for us, we're also hosting an open hour on January 11th. We plan to have 30 students in our second cohort of the program. We already are at 15.
