Master Your Talk

Brenden Kumarasamy pt 1

Story telling is an art that everyone needs to master, but few do. Everyone has a story to tell. Think about it. At work, you tell stories to make a point. At home, you tell stories to make a point. At church, your pastor tells stories to make a point. Jesus told stories to make a point.

But, few people master the art of story telling. Now, you can take great forward strides, because my guest today helps people to do just that.

Many people struggle with the idea of speaking from a stage or on video. They worry about how they will look, how they will sound, what can they talk about?

Brenden Kumarasamy is the founder of "Master Talk," a YouTube series dedicated to the art of public speaking. Brenden believes anyone can become confident public speakers and storytellers. From students to CEO’s Brenden teaches you how to master your speeches, presentations and solicitations.

Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brenden Kumarasamy?

How did you come up with the idea for “MasterTalk?”

A lot of people are trying or contemplating becoming public speakers. It could be for a career move or another way to grow their marketing potential, etc. What is the biggest challenge that most people will have in public speaking?

Why do so many people struggle with public speaking?

What are some ways we can make a great first impression when taking the stage for a presentation?

Is delivery or content more important in our presentations?

How can we identify that one key idea that will spark action on the part of our listeners?

How can we help our audience identify with their needs? Maybe needs which they may not even be aware of, and use that to communicate our needs in the same process?

Can you explain your phrase: “Prioritize to maximize?”

One part that I especially took away from one of your videos was about the “endless gaze.” I was good at the pauses, etc. But I had never considered the “endless gaze.” That is awesome. Tell us how that can be used effectively in a speaking presentation?

In several of your videos, you talk about the “random word exercise.” Can you explain how that works and give us an example?

What if you are speaking on a topic that really is not that interesting? How can you make a memorable talk on something that could be perceived as boring?

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
