Big thanks to Clarence Bethea and Stephen Green for the awesome insights at the Pitch Practice event hosted by @RealistLabs. Really cool experience getting to learn from everyone there. Here are some key points that stuck with me: 1. Tell a compelling story that connects emotionally with the audience 2. Engineers tend to Focus on discussing features instead of benefits. Learn when to discuss benefits, not just features 3. Avoid reading from notes - know your pitch by heart 4. Explain why you're uniquely qualified to solve the problem 5. Highlight your team's strengths

Nothing better than a BIG screen! A benefit of drawing digitally in large conferences is that everyone can see 👀 the visual notes as they’re being drawn (or at specific times during the event). Fuselight’s senior graphic recorder, Brittany, captured dialogue in real time across multiple speakers on the topic of Leadership in the Face of Global Disorder for Maverix Private Equity in Toronto last month. #GraphicRecording #GraphicFacilitation #VisualNotes

“You can’t shout down a working cut.” That was the point Theo Baynton made in our last Veo 3 session. Put the idea on screen first, then refine it. ✅ Get something real in front of people quickly ✅ Invite feedback early; polish after ✅ Iterate, then finish strong Evidence wins the conversation. #Veo3 #PencilSpeaksHuman

Ever walk out of a “great meeting”... and realized later you’d answered every question except the one that mattered? 👉 Most founders don’t lose deals because of bad products. They lose because they’re solving the wrong problem. Listening isn’t soft. It’s strategy. #EdTechFounders #SalesStrategy #ListenToLead
