Ryan Van Cleave’s speaking career really got going after his book, Unplugged: My Journey Into the Dark World of Video Game Addiction, came out. That said, he has been a college professor, so was no stranger to the lectern. In this episode, he talks about being passionate about your topic, being authentic and being connected to your material.

Ryan Van Cleave’s Big Tip: You “can only get so far when you limit yourself by your material. And your relationship to the material,” says Van Cleave. If you don’t have a strong connection to your information, you can’t communicate about that topic with authentic passion.
