[27:04] How does a lifelong stutterer become a successful motivational speaker and standup comedian? Today's guest, Joze Piranian originally from Lebanon, now based in Toronto, Canada, shares his inspirational journey with Greg and Ryan. After avoiding speaking almost entirely for more than 25 years, Joze decided he would no longer let his stutter stand in the way of living a full and fruitful life.

Joze credits a combination of speech therapy and Toastmasters training that helped propel him to new heights. Today, he makes audiences around the world laugh and also inspires them with his message: If fear is holding you back, you can turn your fear into action, overcome your "inner stutter," and unlock your true potential.
