Featuring Host C. Eric Collier “The Mayor of Motivation” & Guest Andrew Hurteau
Some people spend their lives learning how to take the stage.
Andrew Hurteau has spent 40 years teaching people how to own it.
In this powerful episode of the Momentum Shift Podcast & Radio Show, Eric Collier sits down with Andrew Hurteau — actor, Shakespearean performer, master storyteller, and one of the most sought‑after communication coaches in the country. Andrew has spent decades helping speakers, leaders, and professionals close the gap between the wisdom they possess and the wisdom they can deliver when the spotlight hits.
From choreographing “completely‑safe‑yet‑totally‑harrowing” broadsword fights to coaching executives at Meta, Dolby, Gartner, North Face, Kaiser Permanente, and Samsara, Andrew has lived a life dedicated to performance, presence, and transformation. As he says in the interview:
“We all carry an enormous amount of insight and story… but in the moment we get in front of an audience, we don’t always show up as the person we want to be.”
This episode dives deep into that gap — and how to eliminate it.
🔥 Inside This Episode:
> Authenticity — Why leaders crave it, but scripts often kill it
> Presence — How to show up as your best self when it matters most
> Storytelling — Why stories move people more than information ever will
> Leadership Communication — How to motivate teams so deeply they start texting their own teams before leaving the room
> Overcoming Mental Quicksand — How to stop spiraling and start connecting
> Audience Connection — Why delivery matters more than accuracy
> Career Shifts — How Andrew made his own momentum shift from theater to coaching high‑stakes professionals
Andrew shares unforgettable stories — including the executive who transformed a dry regulatory presentation into a powerful leadership moment simply by learning to tell the right story.
“This year I felt like a leader… not a traffic cop.”
This episode is a masterclass in communication, confidence, and showing up when it counts. Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, leading a team, or stepping into a new chapter of your life, Andrew’s insights will help you grab the spotlight instead of shrinking from it.
🎧 Tune in and shift your momentum.
Your voice matters. Your story matters.
And today’s episode will help you deliver both with power, precision, and authenticity.
