Performative Speaking expert Robbie Crabtree is todays guest joining us on the Steve Jobs inspired podcast. Over the last 8 years, our guest has worked as a prosecutor, defence lawyer, and civil rights lawyer. He also taught Persuasive Speaking at Southern Methodist University Law School and coached SMU's National Mock Trial team. He started his career handling 102 jury trials... including murder and child abuse cases. During his time as a trial lawyer, he began getting messages from founders and entrepreneurs looking for help with storytelling, persuasion, and public speaking. Which was the first dot that lead him to start working to where he is today. Then came the second dot and one case in particular that would change his life and his career forever. In what should have been an open-and-shut case, he used his logic and reason to appeal to “just the facts,” but he lost that case. He lost because he focused in on the facts...the cold hard facts. Whilst the opposing lawyer created images, and told stories to build up a feeling of support for the accused.

802 - Performative Speaking with Robbie Crabtree
Robbie Crabtree started his career working inside of the courtroom where he developed and refined his speaking, strategy, and storytelling as a trial lawyer. In 102 jury trials he tested and validated his system in murders and child abuse cases. As these skills grew, he was asked to coach the national mock trial team at SMU Law School in Dallas, TX which he has done for the past 4 years. Robbie called his system Performative Speaking and began working with founders, entreprenuers, and executives when they reached out to him after seeing him in the courtroom. Over the past 2 years he has worked with founders to successfully fundraise at the pre-seed through series B levels and advised others around leadership development, strategic communication, and best sales techniques. Robbie's role as a consultant and coach to startups and founders has put him in front of large audiences around pitching and pitch decks in both On Deck and with Jason Yeh's Fundraising for Founders. He has also taught his own Performative Speaking online program where he has worked with over 150 people in the last 9 months to turn speaking into a superpower. Robbie's big question is how can he help people with world changing ideas to effectively communicate those ideas to actually change the world.

After years of convincing jurors and working on both sides of the attorney fence, Robbie elevated his talents and now helps visionary leaders become excellent speakers.

Despite blacking out while speaking to a class at San Diego State University, Kyle Bowe (@KyleBowe4) became an assistant public speaking teacher and course manager of Performative Speaking cohort 1.

(Kyle was TERRIFIED of it, and still became an assistant teacher at one of California's best colleges) Is David Goggins too intense for mortal men? How to find the silver linings in all scary decisions The two books that changed Kyle's mind about capitalism A tiny book about systems thinking What philosophy books changed Kyle's perspective on himself and the world?

In this episode I'm interviewed by my buddy Robbie Crabtree (@RobbieCrab). Robbie Crabtree is a trial lawyer with a decade of experience handling some of the world's most brutal court cases. I'm talking domestic violence, child abuse, homicide — all the nasty stuff we'd rather not think about. To call him thick-skinned would be an understatement. Robbie first appeared on the podcast in episode 18, which you can listen to here. But to call him intimidating would be an overstatement. Robbie's one of the most generous souls I've ever met. He's also packing 10 years of public speaking experience into a month long online workshop called Performative Speaking (which I'm producing videos for). So why the heck is this powerhouse trial lawyer interviewing little'ol me? Hell if I know! But Robbie was generous enough to reach out to talk to me about sparking conversations, the best practices of podcasting, constraints, formatting, what to name your show, and much more. This is an episode for anyone thinking of starting their own podcast. So, please enjoy!

Communication is everything. The way you speak to yourself and the way you speak to other people is as important as breathing. Your words can either help you get to where you want to go, or they can lead you to a place full of misery and regret. Today I'm excited as all hell to be joined by a master of communication: Robbie Crabtree (@RobbieCrab on Twitter, personal website here). Robbie Crabtree is a trial lawyer with over 9 years of experience handling some absolutely devastating trials. Domestic violence, murder, child abuse, whatever horrible aspect of the human condition you can imagine, Robbie has dealt with it. At the heart of Robbie's work is the art of storytelling. Robbie knows how to craft an interesting story out of anything. And I seriously mean anything. He can make a story about your bar mitzvah as exciting as a day at Six Flags. Robbie Crabtree is also condensing his 9 years of speaking experience into a premium online course called Performative Speaking. Performative Speaking teaches people how to speak in a way that'll keep any audience on the edge of their seat no matter what you're talking about (even bar mitzvahs). I can't imagine a better person than Robbie to put on a course about public speaking. This episode is brought to you by The Hey Penguin Newsletter.
