It all began when his friend asked him in 2011 to help her present. She was so nervous she couldn't get her voice out. Stewart had been acting for a decade before that (if you look very hard on YouTube you can find him), so he took what he learnt from stage and screen and threw it at his friend to see if it worked. It worked. About the Author 162 She was transformed in 20 minutes and amplify, his company, was born. Since then, he has never stopped. He loves coaching people to overcome their fears, tame adrenaline and unlock their voices and stories! Stewart is husband to Liz and father to his children Nate and Jessie. They permeate everything he does, and he is so deeply grateful for them – for Fridays with G\u0026amp;Ts, for Saturday pancakes and for family movie times!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-title collapsed\" data-toggle=\"collapse\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-content collapsed\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrologue xv\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAct I the Beginning 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScene 1 Storytelling.
