Get Your Audience to Take Action

With Noah Kagan

Have you ever listened to someone’s speech and immediately taken action as a result? It’s rare for a speaker to do this for their audience, and yet it’s critical to making a lasting impact.

One of the best in the world at this is Noah Kagan. He’s here on episode 135 of The Speaker Lab to share how he crafts his speeches so his audience has results during his talk.

His career began with Intel, Microsoft and Mint; he was also one of the first employees at Facebook!
