“Public speaking is the ultimate battle between your brain and your vocal cords. It's like your mind turns into a circus ringmaster, juggling sweaty palms, a pounding heart, and a brain that's suddenly gone AWOL. But hey, don’t let those jitters steal the spotlight! With a pinch of humor and a sprinkle of confidence, you can turn that stage fright into a standing ovation. So, take the mic, crack a joke (or two), and show that audience who’s boss.”
Life is Positive

Christopher Ruocchio
“The practiced ear could hear the calculation behind every word like fishhooks in the mind.”
Christopher Ruocchio, Empire of Silence
