Manage episode 311660700 series 3164050
After his American Idol audition, William Hung’s rendition of “She Bangs” became famous for all the wrong reasons. Despite a humbling start, William redeemed himself.
He has since appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even performed live with Ricky Martin in Las Vegas. William has spent the last 16 years studying the world’s top performers and public speakers to uncover their secrets to success. Using what he discovered, he skyrocketed his first studio album “Inspiration” to #1 on the independent Billboard charts.
His latest TEDx talk has been viewed by over 40,000 people in less than a month. He has also spoken for Microsoft, REMAX, Qorvo, and other esteemed associations.
He now helps people find their unconventional path to success because he believes everyone has a right to try something new without being judged or ridiculed. He uses his 15 years of experience playing poker to apply game theory for helping his clients with improving their public speaking.
