The Speaking Podcast has evolved. What began as a show for speakers and coaches looking to start or sharpen their skills has grown into something broader and more relevant than ever — real conversations for real people navigating everyday life.

Each episode features genuine, unscripted conversations with guests who bring practical insight, inspiring stories, and ideas you can actually apply — whether you're building a business, developing yourself, or simply looking for a fresh perspective on life.

No scripts. No question lists. Just honest conversation worth eavesdropping on.

Hosted by Roy Coughlan — DTM, podcaster, coach, and the Podfather — from Łódź, Poland. (Irish)

  • #366 Why Confidence Starts in Your Body, Not Your Mind with Yossi Montrose

    #366 Why Confidence Starts in Your Body, Not Your Mind with Yossi Montrose
    Oct 24 2026
    In this episode, Roy sits down with Yossi Montrose, founder of Performa Ball, who has spent more than two decades developing a coaching methodology built on controlled instability and stability ball training. Yossi traces his story from being born with a hearing problem and being bullied at school, through discovering the stability ball in a gym and the change he noticed in his posture, breathing and confidence, to a moment at a South African nature reserve where he stayed composed with a fully grown lion. He explains how sitting on a chair all day compares with sitting on a ball, how to choose the right size and quality, and how schools and offices have used it. Yossi links physical self-regulation to speaking under pressure, and the two discuss giving a talk while standing on the ball, a possible TEDx idea, his three-month program and his library of more than 3,500 exercises.

His work explores how physical control, balance, composure and adaptability influence the way people perform when the pressure is on. Rather than simply talking about confidence or presence, Yossi uses controlled instability to create situations where people have to physically organize themselves while moving, communicating and performing. His work is particularly relevant to founders, executives, leaders, speakers and other high-performing professionals who need to remain composed, adaptable and effective when circumstances change. Yossi brings a practical, experiential perspective to confidence, presence and performance, one that begins with the body and extends into how we lead, communicate and perform.

  • #365 Fractional Ownership, Remote Careers, and the Future of Online Business with Mike Swigunski

    #365 Fractional Ownership, Remote Careers, and the Future of Online Business with Mike Swigunski
    Sep 19 2026
    In this episode, Roy sits down with Mike Swigunski, entrepreneur, investor, and #1 bestselling author on a mission to help millions of people Earn From Anywhere. Mike traces his path from a small Missouri suburb where he didn't take his first flight until 18, through running a university study-abroad program at 20, to a devastating turning point at 22 — losing his mother to breast cancer just a month before graduation — that pushed him to book a one-way flight to Europe rather than take a safe corporate job. He shares how he became employee #4 at Empire Flippers, helping scale it into a 100-person remote team and the world's largest curated marketplace for online businesses, and the "POWER" framework he built from watching thousands of acquisitions to identify what actually makes a business valuable. They dig into the platform risks of Amazon FBA and affiliate businesses, the coming shift toward advertising inside AI chat tools, the real craft behind his TEDx talk and the hero's journey structure behind it, his NOMAD framework for choosing where to live abroad, and his new venture, Dividends — a platform letting everyday investors put as little as $100 into fractional ownership of cash-flowing online businesses.

  • #364 Spellbreaking: Dissolving the Illusion of Problems — with Brian D. Ridgway & Abigail Morgan

    #364 Spellbreaking: Dissolving the Illusion of Problems — with Brian D. Ridgway & Abigail Morgan
    Sep 7 2026

    In this episode, Roy sits down with Brian D. Ridgway, "The Spellbreaker" and founder of Level 5 Mentoring, alongside Abigail Morgan, CEO of Level 5 Mentoring and a 27-year veteran of the coaching world. Brian shares the extraordinary story of January 3rd, 2011 — the day he hit total rock bottom, about to be homeless with his pregnant wife and two kids, and experienced an awakening that instantly transformed his life. He unpacks where the "Spellbreaker" name actually came from, walks through his Five Paradigms that he says govern how every person on the planet experiences life, and lays out his "Five Spells from Hell" framework in detail. Abigail shares her own turning point — 27 years deep in the coaching industry, including 8 years running Martha Beck's practitioner training program, and how a decades-long physical pain vanished in a single 10-minute session with Brian after nothing else had touched it. They also get into applying this work to parenting and even to trauma in animals, and close out with where people can start if a four-day trip to Hawaii isn't in the cards.
