Key Quotes: 

“When you’re creating this speech, when you’re creating a presentation of some sort, you have to understand where you want people to go in the audience. What do you want them to take away from it?” – Zack Knight

“The punchline is the reflection that you see in the mirror. It’s what you are because as speakers, we are mirrors. We reflect our own emotions onto the people that we speak to. So the only question that matters for this tip is which emotion are you going to choose?” – Brenden Kumarasamy 

Be Insane or Be the Same with Brenden Kumarasamy

“If you want to do something important with your life, you want to do something meaningful, especially if you want to be an entrepreneur. Insanity is really the only path to follow, where you need to follow your own unique belief system, about how to drive an outcome, regardless of what everyone else is saying.” – Brenden Kumarasamy
