What if you didn’t need a script to sound smart on camera? What if your best moments came from improvising instead of planning?

This week on The Flow, we’re joined by Michael Gendler, the freestyle-rapping, game-playing public speaking coach behind Ultraspeaking — a communication school helping thousands of people overcome fear and speak with confidence. Whether you're nervous on Zoom, freeze up when the red light turns on, or want to ditch the script and sound more like you, this episode is for you.

- How to overcome nervousness and actually enjoy speaking

- Why speaking games beat speaking rules

- The hidden power of improvisation

- How creators and podcasters can train for better flow on camera

- The story behind Ultralearning and coaching a speaker to the World Championship stage

This is your permission to show up unscripted and unforgettable.
