I never thought of public speaking this way. My favorite speakers from who you mentioned are 1- Tony Robbins. This man changed my life...I own an amazing business because his words made me believe I can. Barrack Obama...totally amazing speaker. I will never get tired of hearing him speak. But another amazing speaker not mentioned is Les Brown...He will make you make changes in you life that you never imagined possible.

[kariweberyoung]

Les Brown…. Truly one of the greatest story tellers of our time!!! I spoke on tour with him and I learned soooo much from his trainings!!

[christriky]

I have a few good speakers but for different reasons. One guy that wasn’t in the list of speakers I have 2. I really like Jordan Peterson as a technical speaker because he’s able to debate and out smart his opponent with pure excellence. He has amazing arguments in his political debates but when he’s giving a lecture he is so inspirational and almost as if you can feel he really wants the best for you as an individual. He’s a great story teller and also so powerful when he delivers his message. 12 rules for life for example (his book). The other great speaker is Tony Robins. Amazing and speaks with such conviction. Also very inspirational and has a unique view on everything he talks about. No matter how many people touch the same subject, Tony Robins has a brilliant and unique way of convincing you and motivating, inspiring you. But I have to say, Patrick is an awesome speaker. He has an in depth way of explaining and coaching, guiding you in your ways of acting, thinking and looking at different subjects around being an entrepreneur. Patrick also has a locker room, story telling and coaching style but the main reason I love Patrick when he speaks is his quotes and insights on other great minds. He managed to incorporate other brilliant minds within his entire overall point he’s trying to deliver to you. He has a great way of breaking things down which many people can’t do. He has a neutral approach where everyone else has a personal opinion type, point to make. No one comes across like Patrick bet David

[ShruteshG]

My favorite is Patrick Bet David:-Straight forward :)

[shooraynerdrawing]

Thank you so much for this - I've given thousands of talks to school kids and adults over the years, but there are so many revelations in this video that I can apply to try and be a better speaker.

[LittleYusuf]

I think Pat is a mix between Inspirational, Locker Room and Story Teller

[mindpsychs]

I can't believe i didn't know Pat in 2016. Only started following him in 2019. it is true that " Things come to you when you are prepared for them, and when you are ready for them."

[Chby]

I watched this videos @ 3.24 million subscribers and i especially appreciate the part at the end where pat says "please subscribe, we are at 97k sub and maybe by the time you be watching this we will be at 100k". Dudes come a long way since then. More fire 🔥 to you PBD... well deserved.
