Episode 47 - Never Passionate Enough to Speak at a Town Hall Meeting - Until Now.

Why is it so difficult to speak in front of a group of people? It can even be tough for me - someone who speaks on the radio every day! It's a type of adrenaline that's a bit different. This topic discussed recently in Westerly, RI got me heated enough to write a speech and show up to a town 45min away from me to be able to talk in front of the town council. What was it all about? I'll read you the speech in this week's episode. Plus, what it was like ziplining at Foxwoods and a Peb Talk about forcing things that just aren't meant to be. @peb.talks

Episode 24, Season 2 - Things I Don't Like About Me: A List

Episode 24, Season 2 - Things I Don't Like About Me: A List

It might seem counterintuitive on the podcast known to give 'peb talks' to share a list of 'Things I Don't Like About Myself.' (It even hurts writing.
