Back on February 1, 2018 at X entrepreneur Naval Ravikant claimed that:

 

“The secret of public speaking is to speak as if you were alone.”

 

And he repeated that at Naval Ravikant Quotes on December 27, 2021 and Naval Ravinkant bot on May 20, 2025. Ignoring your audience obviously is terrible advice!
