What do marine insurance, dodgy public speaking gigs at 16, and accidentally thanking a club for the use of their ladies have in common? Ian Stephens, that’s what. This chat was an absolute ride. We kicked off reminiscing about the speaker-fuelled high that was the TBOS conference (where I basically made 70 new besties, including Ian), and then the lad took us on a whirlwind tour through his speaking journey - complete with career pivots, tax drama, and the occasional metaphysical platypus. Ian’s got this wild mix of wisdom, wit, and war stories from the trenches of speaking and sales training. He broke down how he knew he was born for the stage, why being a broke creative sucks (but can teach you heaps). If you've ever wondered how to tap into creativity when your to-do list is screaming at you, or why the universe might tow your car to save your life, this one’s for you.
