The Toastmasters Podcast with Greg Gazin
The Toastmasters Podcast is like a radio talk show featuring interviews with Toastmasters usually featured in the Toastmaster magazine. The purpose of the podcast is to amplify the magazine - to dig deeper or to put a voice to a face or written wordBut unlike a radio show, a podcast is on the Internet, and available, for free, to anyone in the world with an Internet connection, and a connected device capable of playing audio. 250+ episodes are at ToastmastersPodcast.comThe Toastmasters Podcast is co-produced by Toastmasters International and Archieboy Holdings, LLC, for our global audience of Toastmasters and those interested in public speaking and leadership.
[28:22] Toastmasters can certainly be a family affair. In this episode, we speak with Todd Bryant about his delightful experience bringing his six-year-old daughter, Cambrie, to a Toastmasters meeting, where she was fully engaged in the activities and proceeded to walk away that day with a prized ribbon for Best Table Topics speech.
Todd recounts his daughter’s early interest in Toastmasters and her persistent desire to attend a meeting. We hear how she prepared, what transpired, and how she felt about the experience.
Todd also shares how he discovered Toastmasters, what he has learned, and how it has helped him both as a professional and as a father. He also offers his advice to parents who want to encourage their children to develop public speaking skills on how they can benefit from Toastmasters, even while juggling professional and family commitments.
Todd’s article is featured in the "My Turn" section of the April 2024 issue of The Toastmaster Magazine, entitled: "A Toastmasters Family: How My Membership Inspired My Daughter."
Todd Bryant is from Winter Garden, Florida, where he lives with his wife, Lindsey, daughter Cambrie, and son Colton.
Todd is a Financial Planner. In 2020, the Orlando Business Journal recognized him on the Top 40 Under 40 list. He’s been a Toastmaster for seven years and is a member of Citrus Club Toastmasters in Orlando.
