The Public Speaking Podcast

Why Most People Struggle to Explain What They Do

In this episode, Lucas and Alex unpack one of the most common beliefs people have when it comes to speaking: “I don’t have anything to say.” Together they explore why that’s almost never true, and what’s actually happening when people struggle to explain what they do, or feel like others can say things better than them. The conversation goes into: * Why your experiences don’t feel “valuable enough” (even when they are) * How everyday moments can become meaningful stories * What actually makes someone interesting to listen to * How to start noticing the stories you’re already living If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have anything worth saying, this episode will completely change how you see your own experiences. Encouragement to find value in personal stories and an invitation to join the speaking community.

Why You Use Filler Words And How to Stop Them

In this episode, Lucas and Alex dive into one of the most common habits in speaking filler sounds. They break down why words like “um,” “uh,” and “you know” show up in the first place, and what’s actually happening in your head when they do. The big realization? It’s not just about bad habits,  it’s about thinking, pressure, and how you handle silence. They talk about: * Why filler sounds appear when you’re thinking or unprepared * How they instantly affect your credibility and attention * The difference between removing them and controlling them * Why going “perfect” can actually make you sound less human * A simple exercise you can try to become more aware of them This is a practical and honest conversation about something everyone does, but very few people are aware of. If you’ve ever listened back to yourself and thought “why do I sound like that?” This episode will change how you hear your own voice.
