Erik: How is your public speaking experience teaching you to more effectively engage an
audience?
Jullien: In addition to my comedy class I've actually taken a storytelling class with a
company called Narrative, and I know just based on my own experiences and the messages
and the guidelines for life that have stuck with me, have all come through stories and
so I'm actually working on things to become a better storyteller, like I said I went to
a comedy class to become a better communicator and when I've coupled these things with the
messages that I already have, this comedy and this storytelling, has allowed the messages
that I have to share with the world to actually stick and land in a deeper place for people
and so it's just -- it's been amazing to be able to touch people in so many ways. One
of the most beautiful things that I love is getting emails from people within like 48
hours after a speaking engagement because you know speaking engagements they can inspire
you in a lot ways, but for me inspiration isn't enough. I actually need to see people
make changes in their life otherwise the inspiration it comes and it goes and that's not enough
to actually cause change. I like to see when people actually make a change in their life
as a result of something I said and when I get those emails back about people's new commitments
based on what I shared with them, that means the world to me.
