The odds are… you're afraid of public speaking.

And if not, you've definitely cringed through enough presentations to know it's a real struggle for many.

In this episode of SEEKERS, we speak with Dr. Alexander McWilliam - actor, coach, and one of the few people in the world with a PhD in public speaking anxiety. He’s also the founder of Improv4Business, where he uses improvisation and performance psychology to help people become confident, engaging communicators.

We talk about:

• Why public speaking makes people panic—and how to rewire that fear
• What most people get wrong about delivering a message
• The power of voice, body, and presence
• How improv techniques can transform how you speak
• Why storytelling matters, even in boring meetings
• And whether “fake it till you make it” actually works

Whether you're pitching investors, leading meetings, or just want to stop dreading Zoom calls - this episode is for you.

• Why community-led onboarding crushed every paid marketing tactic they tried
• What it takes to build a crypto-native platform that feels fun and sticky, not just speculative
• Amos’s bold vision for a Ready Player One–style future, where your in-game identity might be more valuable than your real one The return of “play for keeps” — how Amos sees in-game ownership reshaping the future of gaming
• The billion-dollar question: how do we onboard Web2 gamers into Web3 without alienating them?

If you’re curious about the future of gaming, Web3, or how to build a product that grows organically through genuine love (not hype!) this one’s for you.

Adam Robinson is the founder of two successful SaaS companies - RB2B, a platform that identifies anonymous B2B website visitors and turns them into actionable sales signals, and Retention.com, which helps eCommerce brands recover abandoned carts and reconnect with lost visitors through identity resolution. He bootstrapped RB2B to $5M in Annual Recurring Revenue in just 15 months, and hit $1M ARR with Retention.com in only 27 weeks - all built with a lean team, no outside investment, and a strong founder-led growth strategy.

In this episode we dive deep into:

• Why cold outreach is dying and what’s replacing it
• Why freemium can backfire and the danger of selling to the wrong customer
• What most early-stage founders get wrong about lead gen and product-market fit
• The real stories behind Rb2b and Retention.com (if you're wondering this domain costed him $800K)
• How Adam built a $20M ARR business with just a LinkedIn account and some guts
• The power of maximizing humanity in a world flooded with AI-generated content
• Why building an audience-first is the most efficient launch strategy today
• The exact mistakes founders make when they try to “automate” sales too early
• Why being brutally honest about your startup is a growth moat in itself
• Why Adam believes most B2B startups should forget about outbound (for now)
• The mindset shift that took him from email copycat to a differentiated category leader
