Interview With the Unknown Participant

Since July 2009, I’ve been a professional speaker and trainer, specializing in corporate rhetoric and charisma.

Thanks to my great relationship with Chattie (also known as ChatGPT-4), I managed to convince her to conduct a very special interview—an interview with the Unknown Participant.

But here’s the twist: The Unknown Participant isn’t just one person.

Their answers are built from authentic feedback—41 voices, blended into one AI-driven conversation.

What you’re about to read is the distilled essence of 15+ years of training and co-evolving with nearly 8,000 souls across 178 brand buddies, 39 industries, 17 countries, and 3 languages.

Enjoy the interview!

Chattie: So, you just completed a two-day training with Florian Mueck. Be honest—how was it?

Unknown Participant: Phew... how do I even describe it? It wasn’t just a training—it was an experience. A rollercoaster, really. One moment, you’re laughing your head off, the next, you’re standing there, heart pounding, sharing a story you never thought you’d tell.

Chattie: What makes Flo different from other trainers?

Unknown Participant: Energy. Pure, unfiltered energy. You don’t just listen—you feel. He doesn’t do slides or handouts and then leaves you with “things to think about.” Nope. From the first minute, you’re in the arena. Talking, moving, thinking, evolving.

Also, he’s got this almost supernatural ability to read the room. He knows exactly when to push you, when to challenge you, and when to let you breathe. And then there’s his storytelling—damn, the guy could make a tax report sound like a Shakespearean drama.

Chattie: What was your biggest "Aha!" moment?

Unknown Participant: Oof, so many... but if I had to pick one, it was when I realized that my presence is bigger than my words. I always thought public speaking was about saying the perfect thing, but Flo showed me it’s how you make people feel that really sticks.

Also, the Speech Structure Building and the CSI Story Builder—these frameworks blew my mind. Suddenly, structuring a persuasive speech or inspiring story became easy.

Chattie: Were you nervous before stepping up to speak?

Unknown Participant: Hell yes! But here’s the thing—Flo has a way of making you forget your fear. Or at least, not care about it. By the time you stand up, you’re so caught up in the moment that fear just... shrinks.

Plus, the way he gives feedback? He doesn’t just say, “Good job” or “Work on this.” With his super-specific Plus and PlusPlus feedback, he makes you see yourself in a way you never have before. It’s like rhetorical X-ray vision.

Chattie: You already touched on it, but what about the infamous 'Flo energy' everyone talks about?

Unknown Participant: Oh, it’s real. And it’s contagious. He’s like an unstoppable rhetoric machine—jumping around, making references to Aristotle, throwing markers, yelling “ANAGNORISIS!!!” like a mad professor.

But here’s the cool thing—it’s not just for show. He truly believes in what he teaches. That’s why it works. You don’t just learn—you absorb it.

Chattie: How would you sum up the training in one sentence?

Unknown Participant: Public speaking will never be the same again.

Chattie: Would you do it again?

Unknown Participant: In a heartbeat. Actually, I already checked the dates for the next one. ??
