Lena: You know, Miles, I was just thinking about that feeling when you have a brilliant idea in a meeting, but as soon as you open your mouth, it just... vanishes. Like your brain turned into a goldfish bowl.
Miles: Oh, I’ve been there! It’s actually more common than people think. Did you know that between 72 and 75 percent of people actually fear public speaking? It’s often the biggest barrier to sharing those great ideas.
