But, writing a speech that delivers is an art. When was the last time you heard a talk or keynote where you felt seen, where you carried it with you, where you took action from its contents?&amp;nbsp; It’s probably been a while. If you're looking to write a book, it’s likely you’re also looking to get on stages–they go hand in hand. But, they’re two very different skill sets. This week on Bound &amp;amp; Determined, I’m chatting with THE expert on effective keynotes, Brian Miller. Brian is a message design consultant whose TEDx talk, &quot;How to Magically Connect with Anyone,&quot; has surpassed 3.7 million views. He is the founder of Clarity Up Consulting, a boutique firm specializing in core messaging and message design for experts, leaders, and founders. Brian is one of five co-founders of core messaging as a formal discipline and has consulted on more than 45 TEDx talks with a combined 20 million views across 30+ subject areas and 11 distinct industries. He is also the author of The One-Page Keynote (Rethink Press, 2026)&amp;nbsp; In this episode, you’ll learn about how authenticity and presence require actual preparation, and why half the struggle of writing a good speech is understanding your audience. We had a ton of laughs on this episode and I just know you’ll love it!
