Hey, Fran, Graham Baldwin here.

Hey, what if I told you that there was a single marketing asset that you could use to book tens of thousands of dollars in paid speaking gigs before you even have a website?

Well, that tool exists.

And Dan Irvin, one of the speakers on our team, used it to book over $36,000 in speaking gigs without a fancy website or any social media presence.

Even better, we're going to teach you exactly how

to create that tool for your speaking business in under an hour. For a limited time, we're going to

be offering a free live training on how to build and use this marketing asset to start booking

paid gigs in just a few weeks. If you want to hear more, go to thespeakalab.com slash marketing.

That's what you got to do is go to the speakelab.com slash marketing and we'll see you there.

so today episode. We've got a lot of episodes still plan to come. And we're closing in on episode 200 to come in a couple of months. So looking forward to that. And again, thanks for being here. So today, we were talking with my buddy Jonathan Fields. And Jonathan does some speaking. Also is just a wide-ranging entrepreneur, has his hands in a variety of different things. Cover a bunch of different topics today. We talk about being an introvert as a speaker. Jonathan is a bit of an introvert. I am as well. We talk about that, as well as a number of speakers that we know that are introverts. We talk about that. Oftentimes people assume that in order to be a speaker, you have to be some kind of raging character extrovert on stage. And the reality is that's just not true. And so we're going to dig into that today with Jonathan. We're also going to talk about just being comfortable in your own skin on stage, learning how to be comfortable. And we're also going to just kind of give a introspective look at being a speaker. So there's a lot of stuff that we get into here today with Jonathan. I think this is a really, really fun conversation. It's actually, we were talking about going a different direction and kind of ended up in this direction

where we landed today. And I think you're really going to enjoy this. So let's get right

into it. Here's my conversation with Jonathan Fields from Jonathan Fields.com. Enjoy.

And Jonathan, appreciate you taking a couple minutes to chat with us today. It's my pleasure. Thanks so much for inviting me. So you are involved with speaking in a variety of different ways. So, but I know for you, one of the things that you do is

go out and do keynote. So can you give us kind of a snapshot of what speaking looks like for you

and how it fits into your business? Yeah. And by the way, as you can hear in the background,

probably I live in New York City. So you'll hear the occasional emergency street fight,

whatever is happening outside my window. Yeah, I mean,
