What is this Podcast All About?

Have you ever felt like poking your eyes with needles when creating a slide deck? Felt humiliated and deflated after given an important presentation. Or maybe just embarrassed in front of your family and friends because you’re great story fell flat? No one was paying attention.

Then you’ve been to Presentation Hell.

Post pandemic, we are all making more presentations online than ever before. So, we need new, better skills to raise our presentation game. And, since there are fewer opportunities to speak and meet in person, the stakes are higher. We can’t afford to make a mistake, fall on our face and lose that one precious opportunity to make a 5 star impression.

Even from our phones, we are carrying social media posts, pictures, videos, documents everywhere we go. Every time we pull out our phone to show and tell, we are giving a presentation. It’s another chance to make a great impression. All the world is a stage. All the world is a presentation.

Together, we will share inspiring stories, tips and tricks that will instantly elevate your presenting skills, whether it’s in the boardroom or the bedroom.

James Ontra has been referred to as intense, even a little unnerving. In reality, he’s passionate. Passionate about great presentations and their value in business.

He’s on a mission to get to the heart of why so many presentations suck and how to make them better.

As CEO and co-founder of Shufflrr, James is a trailblazer in the emerging field of presentation management. The technology he helped create is powering the presentation strategies of hundreds of Fortune-level companies.

He is helping them save millions of dollars by transforming humble, and boring, PowerPoint slides into profitable business assets. 

AlexAnndra Ontra is a little on the dry side and is more laid back than her brother, James. But they make a great team. She develops presentation management strategy for Fortune 500 clients and helps them transform their humble PowerPoint slides into impressive enterprise assets.

Early on in her career, very early, Alex suffered through countless all-nighters, placing Kodak glass slides into carousel projectors. Yes, it was a LONG time ago. And it was presentation HELL! She finally got out of Hell into Purgatory when she and her brother James went into business together.

It was then that she graduated from glass slides to digital ones.

Needless to say, her journey has been quite an adventure. And her life is different today. She consults with Fortune-level clients, helping them turn files into slides and slides into exciting presentations that tell compelling, memorable stories.
