Lee Schneider busts common myths about introversion, explains how preparation and intentional pauses enhance public speaking, and discusses practical strategies for building confidence, whether pitching ideas, writing novels, or giving a keynote. You’ll also hear why storytelling is such a valuable skill for introverts and how podcasts offer a low-stress, high-impact way to share ideas.
