[25:57] Meet Verity Price, the 2021 World Champion of Public Speaking. Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, Verity is the first Toastmasters World Champion to emerge from the world's second largest continent, and the sixth female to hold the title. Verity's winning speech, "A Good Read," tells the story of how coming across a letter from her late father during a dark period inspired her to "write a different story" with her life.

Verity shares insights with Greg and Ryan related to delivering in a virtual environment, how she incorporated global feedback to prepare her speech, and the psychological principles that underpin the content of her speech.

Verity also shares about her background as a singer, songwriter and actress—including how she inadvertently became a crowdfunding pioneer.
