In this SPEAKERx edition of The Public Speaking Podcast, we sit down with Jonas Frydal, leadership expert and bestselling author.

He shares why leadership it's about creating environments where people feel safe enough to speak up, contribute ideas, make mistakes, and grow.

The conversation explores the difference between management and leadership, why human connection matters more than ever in the age of AI, and how leaders can build stronger teams by focusing on people instead of processes.

Jonas also takes us behind the scenes of his SPEAKERx Signature Talk, where he explores an unexpected idea: the opposite of tyranny is play.

They also talk about:

• How to build psychological safety inside teams

• The challenge of turning years of leadership experience into a 10-minute Signature Talk

• The role of self-leadership in personal and professional growth

• What most leaders get wrong about influence and authority

If you've ever managed a team, worked under a difficult leader, or wondered how great leaders create trust, this episode offers a fresh perspective on leadership, communication, and human connection.

In this SPEAKERx edition of The Public Speaking Podcast, we sit down with Tamara Christmann Olofsson, entrepreneur and speaker focused on personal development and leadership.

For nearly two decades, her work building adventure parks Tamara has seen people all the time standing up in the trees on the heights and has helped them face something most of us try to avoid: fear.

Tamara shares the childhood dream that eventually became her business, the lessons she learned from helping people step outside their comfort zones, and how SPEAKERx helped her discover that her personal story was actually the foundation of her message.

They talk about:

• Why courage is not the absence of fear
• The difference between listening to fear and obeying it
• Finding your unique voice as a speaker
• Turning life experiences into a signature talk
• Emotions are the most powerful topic in our stories.
• The belief that keeps people stuck waiting

If you've ever felt like you need more confidence before taking action, this conversation might change the way you think about fear, courage, and being ready.

In this episode, Lucas and Alex sit down with Ben Sherry, speaking coach, live-event strategist, and founder of The Live Event Studio, to talk about the gap between having ideas and actually putting them into the world.

The conversation explores why public speaking is becoming more valuable in the AI era, how live events create trust faster than online content, and why so many smart people stay invisible simply because they never share their ideas out loud.

They also announce the launch of SKOOLx, a public speaking competition designed to help people build and deliver their own signature talk in front of a real audience.

They talk about:

• Why speaking opportunities matter more than endless preparation
• The difference between practicing speaking and truly connecting
• How live events build trust faster than content
• Why AI makes human communication even more valuable
• Ben’s journey from teacher to live-event strategist
• The emotional side of learning to speak publicly
• The launch of SKOOLx and the chance to win a full SPEAKERx experience

If you’ve ever struggled to put your ideas into words, felt invisible online, or wanted to become more confident speaking in front of people, this episode will push you to finally stop hiding what you have to say.
