Ultraspeaking co-founder

Michael Gendler is the founder of Ultraspeaking. He's a public speaking coach, a freestyle rapper, and generally a person who doesn't like to prepare for things and prefers to improvise his way through life. He runs a communication school called Ultraspeaking that uses games and online courses to help people overcome nervousness and become really good at speaking. One of Michael's coolest accomplishments is coaching his co-founder Tristan to reach the World Championship of Public Speaking. (Yes, apparently that's a real thing!) You can read about their incredible journey in the WSJ best-selling book Ultralearning by Scott Young, which is a book on the science of rapid skill acquisition.
