Emailing Every Professor in Canada — 40,000 of Them: Brenden Kumarasamy

My guest for Episode #38 of “the My Favorite Mistake” podcast is Brenden Kumarasamy, and he is the founder of MasterTalk, a YouTube channel that he started to help the world master the art of public speaking. You can also find him on Instagram.

Today, we talk about his favorite mistake, when he sent 40,000 emails out to “every professor” in Canada… and that did not go well for Brenden.

What does go well for him is public speaking. Brenden shares his expertise about common mistakes that people make in public speaking (hint: it relates to practice) and mistakes that people make on YouTube.

Quotes:

"I would say the biggest mistake that stands out to me right now is most people don't know how to practice public speaking."
"So my advice to people who want to get on camera is to simply ask yourself 'what impact do you want to make?'"
