071. Stop Shrinking When It’s Your Turn to Speak

August 29, 2025

Gabe Marusca is the host of the Authority in the Wild podcast, who speaks with entrepreneurs worldwide. 

However he struggles to feel this same ease when speaking in groups of native English speakers as well as in front of large audiences. This holds him back from making new connections at conferences and other events, or from speaking comfortably on stage.
In our coaching session, we unpacked the root beliefs behind Gabe’s anxiety. 

The result? At his next conference in Bucharest, he was able to converse with some of the most influential podcast hosts in Europe, including Steven Bartlett - the host of Diary of a CEO.
Before our session, this kind of situation would have triggered a panic in Gabe, but this time, it all felt smooth and natural.
Listen to our coaching call to hear what we did and how it relates to your own speaking anxiety.
