#128 - How To Introduce Yourself
Nov 11, 2025
We all know that moment. You see someone you want to talk to, start the mental pep talk, and then freeze.
In this episode of Guyset, I tell the story of one painfully awkward introduction that humbled me fast and taught me what confidence really looks like in real life.
“It’s a skill that I am consistently working on and something that I think I will always be working on, the art of introducing yourself.”
It’s about the gap between what you want to say and what actually comes out. The hesitation. The awkwardness. The recovery.
We talk about how to introduce yourself without sounding rehearsed, why confidence has nothing to do with being smooth, and how to turn cringe moments into connection instead of overthinking them.
Whether it’s walking up to someone at an event, meeting someone new, or just wanting to sound natural when you say hi, this episode breaks down what really makes first impressions stick.

If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head, this episode is for you.
Confidence doesn’t mean being fearless. It means being willing to show up anyway, say hi, and learn something in the process.
“It’s never better to stay wondering. I’d always rather at least try and then build from there.”
Because awkward isn’t failure. It’s practice.
