This mindset is also reflected in Karlo's online courses: It's not about learning "the right way" but finding your own way and creating your own style that people will recognize you for.
Always striving to grow and help others grow, he is the co-founder of Speech Making Academy together with online entrepreneur Philip Hofmacher, the founder of Speech Fennel and the author of the audio book "Joy of Speaking: Public Speaking for Personal and Professional Development."
