My experience, with lots of entrepreneurs, is that there seems always to be an inverse relation between age of presenter and quality of presentation--in other words, among reasonably competent business presenters, under 30's almost always knock it out of the park and folks over 40 are boring, visually and verbally. And I'm over 40.
