Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Art of Public Speaking with Eva Daniel
Q: How should leaders structure their talks to ensure engagement from start to finish?
Lead with a compelling opening, provide a clear road map, use a three-part preview, and end with a strong knockout closing, ensuring the audience knows what to do with what they've heard.
The Art of Public Speaking with Eva Daniel
Q: What are the most common issues you see when leaders speak, and how can they be addressed quickly?
The biggest issue is a lack of clear, specific feedback and a messy middle; quick fixes include clarifying the audience and purpose, eliminating filler, and using a simple framework like SPARC to stay on message.
The Art of Public Speaking with Eva Daniel
Q: What would you say to executives who think they don't need a keynote because they already communicate within their day-to-day work?
A signature speech acts as an umbrella for their personal brand and leadership, enabling them to represent their company confidently at events and meetings, and to be prepared for opportunities that arise without needing to rely on ad-hoc talks.
De Novo Founder Erik Weiner on Raising $42 Million to Launch Portrait Bank
Q: Walk us through kind of from start to open, what does that process look like?
He describes starting with empty boards and no investors, building a business plan, recruiting a strong initial board, raising capital, navigating IBFR approvals, selecting a core provider, and aligning technology with regulatory steps, all while maintaining momentum toward a June opening.
De Novo Founder Erik Weiner on Raising $42 Million to Launch Portrait Bank
Q: Tell us about yourself, your banking career, and why start De Novo these days?
Erik outlines a 30-year career in commercial and corporate banking across several Florida banks, highlighting the need for a local, community-focused institution and his belief that Central Florida lacked adequate local options, which motivated the De Novo pursuit.
