In the 2024 Diary of a CEO podcast (here) Jimmy talks (at the 41.50 mark) about how he utilises 92bpm, after Stephen asks him how to be a better communicator / public speaker.

It’s not the only time he’s spoken about this (see tag for 92bpm here) but the DOAC clip has recently attracted the attention of people on LinkedIn, here are a couple of examples:

• From Canada – here
• England – here
• Canada again – here

Basically, all kinds of professionals think this is a great piece of advice, to help with public speaking, and have been discussing it with colleagues.

What got Jimmy into 92bpm?

The short video below is Amanda Baker, demonstrating 3 comics using this tempo.

If you don’t know who she is – Jimmy has spent the last couple of years working with her (and Abi Grant) on his new book (here).

Amanda also worked with him on Before and Laughter (here) and, when he recorded the audio book, she acted as Director, making sure he “acted out” the prose, rather than just reading it. And she has fulfilled a similar role for him with Netflix specials.

He’s said in the past that Amanda persuaded him that 92bpm was the way to go and that he has a playlist that he listens to, before a show, of tracks that are 92bpm.
