How did we get here?
The journey started in my first year of law school.
Seeing law students struggle to speak in front of the class…
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
So learn the skills, study the best, practice and refine.

Being a trial lawyer taught me what it takes to be a great speaker.
The 3 Cs

Develop a philosophy and then a method.
The philosophy is Performative Speaking.
-Use other art forms as an example to create emotion.
The method is the CAP system.
-Confidence
-Authenticity
-Persuasion
The first two take you 90% of the way.
The last makes you elite.

But that isn’t enough…

SMU Law needed help teaching persuasive speaking.
They needed help coaching the national mock trial team.
Over 3 years I taught, tested, and iterated.
My students began sweeping best speaker awards.

Then Covid…
A world of new possibilities showed itself.
Online Education.
The ones that shaped me early, @jackbutcher and @david_perell
They helped me, guided me, and changed me.

Build it and they will come…
It doesn’t quite work like Field of Dreams with an online course.
But Performative Speaking came to life in August.
-Build
-Market
-Execute
That took the course from zero to one.
In October we kicked things off with 35 students.

-A content creation job created because of 1 video
