Like most entrepreneurs, Jamie Stenhouse has experienced both highs and lows on his business journey. Head of Market Titans Agency and a fellow advocate of business storytelling, he was once a teenager with a speech impediment that saw him drop out of high school. He enrolled in an IT course to try avoid interpersonal communication. But it was when he confronted his fear of speaking in public, that his entrepreneurial journey really began.
From web design and HTML coding to founding a clothing line, Jamie has had considerable professional success through his humble keyboard. His anxiety over speaking a thing of the past, Jamie is now an inspirational keynote speaker and shares his personal story as the Stuttering Entrepreneur.
In today’s episode of Be The Drop, we chat business storytelling, how to personalise in the automated digital world, and Jamie reveals the one thing you need to get right in order for everything to work…
“I get in front of any audience on any platform because my personal brand boosts business.”
