Do Video Games Make Your Smarter?
Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read

Kentucky Dude Original, 1-minute read

Man on the Move
 | Speak with clarity and confidence.Dudes, ever say something, then immediately backpedal, mumble, or throw in a nervous laugh? That’s not clarity. That’s you hoping they get what you meant instead of what you actually said. Your voice is your power tool. It’s how the world learns who you are. |
And if you don’t speak with confidence, someone else will fill in the blanks for you. Usually wrong.
Here’s the Move: Say it like you mean it. Cut the fluff. Lose the “justs” and “I thinks.” Be direct, not defensive. Speak slower. Breathe deeper. Look people in the eye. Confidence isn’t volume, it’s alignment; your words matching your belief.
Why bother? Because clarity builds trust. And trust builds influence. People remember how you made them feel, and if your words came with purpose or apology. So next time you talk, own your tone. No shrinking. No soft-stepping.
You don’t need to be loud. Just sure.
