The Speaking Path explores how people find their voice, build confidence, and learn to communicate with clarity through practice and action. Hosts Rich Walters and Jess Coté bring you conversations with communicators who've done the work — showing what's possible when you stop waiting and start speaking.

Your voice doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be shared.
