โ€‹๐ŸŽค Pitch-prov: Lesson #6 with Bob Coppedge

โ€‹A live storytelling experiment about knowing your audience, adapting your story, and thinking on your feet.

โ€‹Expect founders to get pushed outside their normal scripts, see their companies from unexpected perspectives, and adapt when the story suddenly changes.

โ€‹No slides. No polished decks. No pitch competition.

โ€‹Just founders thinking on their feet, in front of a live audience.

โ€‹And yes: you can come just to watch.

โ€‹๐ŸŽค You do NOT have to pitch.

โ€‹๐Ÿ˜‚ Audience participation encouraged, but never required.


โ€‹Why come?

โ€‹Most of us practice our pitch when everything goes according to plan.

โ€‹Pitch-prov practices what happens when it doesn't.

โ€‹When the audience changes.
When someone doesn't understand you.
When you're forced off-script.
When you need to explain the same idea from an entirely different perspective.

โ€‹That's where communication gets interesting.

โ€‹Practice over performance.
Progress over polish.
