Hey, department fam, Omar here. Before we get into the conversation, I first want to just thank you for being locked in.

0:05.2

You're signaling to me that you value leveling up either in business and or in life. And more than anything,

0:11.8

the fact that you would use me and trust me for that information means the world to me. I do want to

0:16.5

invite you to the next content to cast challenge coming up pretty soon here. This is a five-day

0:21.6

live coaching experience with myself and it's an environment unlike any other environment where I

0:26.6

literally open up the hood to my business and I show you how I'm making seven figures online, part-time,

0:31.6

all by building my personal brand and how you could stop chasing business and start having

0:36.6

business chase you.

0:37.8

You know what's crazy? Since building my personal brand, I don't have an opportunity problem.

0:42.0

Opportunity is actually my problem. And so if you want that same problem, which is a good

0:47.4

problem, I want to see you at the next content to cast challenge. You can find the link in the

0:51.0

description to get signed up. Now let's get into this fire conversation. If you want to be a world-class communicator, it's not how long is your message, but how long are they experiencing the message? And if you can create an experience where they feel like they've only been there for five minutes, now you're learning the art of communication. How do people get reps? You're not standing on stages. You're not in front of people.

1:11.6

If you feel like your call to speak, you have something to say, nothing's going to stop you from saying it.

1:17.6

No one was inviting me to speak in their organizations. So I started in street corners, and I would speak every Sunday to all the homeless there.

1:24.6

No one invited me. I created every single space that I spoke in for

1:28.8

years. And it really transformed a lot of my communication. Most preaching and speaking pushes out

1:34.8

and doesn't pull in. I want to bring the audience in. And before the talk is over, it's just you and me

1:40.9

one-on-one, even if there's 20,000 people in the room. How do you help people on the journey of becoming a better communicator find their voice? You know, one of the things you want to do in any environment, whether it's a podcast or anything, there's this interesting tension. You have to always be. That's the number one mistake people have when they open the Bible. We should probably be recording this.

2:01.6

We are rolling.

2:02.5

Okay.

2:02.8

So we'll just start.

2:03.4

Hey, Erwin, thank you.
