Public speaking is the #1 fear in the world—even higher than the fear of death! But what if the secret to mastering the stage wasn't "learning lines," but simply having a better conversation?

In this episode of Driven: Unscripted Success, Michael Mannino sits down with Steve Sapato, the "Most Famous Unfamous Speaker in America."

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The 3-Second Rule: Why you are judged instantly and how to win a room in the first 7 seconds.
