Cody Smith cares about helping others break free from their fear because he used to be in their shoes. He ran away from opportunities and connections that would have benefited him in an effort to avoid ever having to speak publicly. During a trip abroad, he finally faced that fear and learned to live confidently.

Since that moment, Cody has worked tirelessly to help others like himself face their fears. In particular, he’s prided himself in helping mid-level executives and entrepreneurs get comfortable with public speaking. After all, these people and others like them work hard but don’t always have the confidence to show off the fruits of their labor. Public speaking gives them that confidence.

Cody distilled his public speaking strategies into a bestselling book called Stage Fight: How to Punch Your Fear of Public Speaking in the Face! In his free time, Cody enjoys writing, traveling with his family, and making YouTube videos.
