About this episode

Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-BoundIn this episode - our host, Craig O’Neill welcomes two guests from his home Toastmasters club, Dylan Jayce and Evan Wisner. While Evan is familiar to our loyal listeners as - Dylan will be a new voice - and you’ll hear about the journey Dylan has been on as he represented Grand Rapids Toastmasters - Club 404 in the recent Area level speaking competition.That’s right - there is such a thing as competitive speaking!The title for today’s episode is worth noting - as it is the theme selected for the year from current Club 404’s President, Mark Amos.  “Show up and Show Out”  This is exactly what the club did on Feb 22 - when Dylan won 1st place in the Area contest over two other very accomplished speakers.Dylan is particularly inspiring in this episode as he articulates the impact that the show of support from club members had on his journey.  While he considers himself an introvert, Dylan demonstrates that a commitment to growth, and a great support network, can enable you to do things you might never imagine you could.  The episode is further enriched with Evan Wisner’s keen insight, and how he shares, along with Craig, regarding their perspective of Dylan’s progress through the years and recent weeks.Join this conversation and you will gain a greater understanding of what a great Toastmasters club can look like, how friendships form around embracing discomfort, and how remarkable individuals contribute to a winning culture.The Word of the Day: Inimitable - in-IM-it-uh-bul, adjectiveInimitable describes someone or something that is impossible to copy or imitate.Watch Full Video EpisodeThank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-Bound:The Institute at WeAreTheInstitute.com.  "Stop stressing over your business, you deserve a good night's sleep.
