When Michael Gendler was twenty-one years old, he humiliated himself in a high-stakes meeting.
Probably the craziest adventure of my life #publicspeaking #ultraspeaking
One day Michael met Tristan de Montebello, who loved experimenting with new ways of learning.
Together they started training and soon entered The World Championship of Public Speaking.
They practiced daily and watched old tapes of past competitions. After seven months of grueling competition, they arrived together to Vancouver for the semifinal round. Michael sat in the audience as Tristan walked on stage in a navy blue suit and bright red socks. He started speaking and immediately left other competitors in the dust. Tristan won by a landslide and became the fastest competitor in history to reach the Finals.
His unusual learning project — conquering public speaking in 7 months — has been prominently featured in the Wall Street Journal bestselling book Ultralearning.
Together they started training and soon entered The World Championship of Public Speaking.
In 2017, Tristan and Michael founded Ultraspeaking and have since coached the world’s top athletes, creatives, leaders, and entrepreneurs to speak more effectively in the moments that matters most. In 2019, Tristan and Michael launched The Simulator, a collection of speaking games to help people speak better in high-stakes scenarios. Their latest project, Fundamentals, is a flagship course to facilitate rapid growth in professionals around the world.
