Speaker As Preacher: Get Your audiences attention and keep it! SAS with guest Jon Burkhart #32

In this previously live episode, I speak with international award-winning keynote speaker, strategist and author of the world-famous Newsjacking, Jon Burkhart.

I know Jon as part of the You Are The Media community. He was the first person I ever interviewed in person for my podcast.

A firecracker when it comes to speaking, his energy onstage and off is frenetic and infectious.

As a professional speaker, he talks about the WHAT, HOW & WHY of what makes a brand more memorable and meaningful.

Jon describes himself as a 'firecracker' and he's not exaggerating!

He is dynamic, different (he started our conversation wearing a Panda's head!) and an advocate of 'dopamine storytelling'.

He explains what that is in our fascinating and all-too-short conversation. He tells me how he trained to be a speaker before he became a marketing strategist and we discuss amongst other things whether speakers are extroverts or introverts, and what makes him nervous on stage.

Plus, what he mean by Newsjacking and Fartstorming!

His answer to what makes a good speaker good and a bad speaker suck is quotable. So here it is...

'Good speakers always have the end in mind. Bad speakers always have themselves in mind.'

So true.

It's always great fun talking to Jon and I promise it'll be as much fun to listen.
