410: Creating the Most Persuasive Presentations of Your Life with Dan Roam

My guest today is someone I’ve learned a ton from when it comes to creating and delivering better presentations.

His name is Dan Roam. I was first impacted by his first book called The Back of the Napkin (links to his books below). Then, it was Show and Tell and Draw to Win. Later, I had the chance to see him present in person and even got to meet him afterward. He is incredibly gifted at what he does.

His new book, which was released in October of last year, is called The Pop-Up Pitch: The Two-Hour Creative Sprint to the Most Persuasive Presentation of Your Life.

In it, Dan outlines a fast and practical visual storytelling method that puts a powerful new toolkit into the hands of leaders, innovators, salespeople, teachers, and anyone who needs to quickly make an impact on increasingly distracted audiences.

In today’s episode, Dan and I chat about:

  • What a Pop-Up Pitch is and why you need it…
  • The types of meetings the Pop-Up Pitch method is designed to improve
  • Why it is that rarely does anyone want to hear your whole story…and how his book and method address that
  • And lots more!
