| 0:01.4 | 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? |
| 0:10.2 | Well, that tool exists. |
| 0:11.4 | 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. |
| 0:19.6 | Even better, we're going to teach you exactly how |
| 0:22.1 | to create that tool for your speaking business in under an hour. For a limited time, we're going to |

| 0:31.9 | paid gigs in just a few weeks. If you want to hear more, go to thespeakalab.com slash marketing. |

| 1:19.8 | conversation with my wife. And this is something, if you know my wife at all, I thought she would |
| 1:26.5 | never do this. She sw thought she would never do this. |
| 1:28.8 | She swore she would never do this. |
| 1:30.7 | But somehow I convinced her to do this. And so we have a wonderful, wonderful conversation, interview discussion about marriage, about being married to a speaker, how we handle our own marriage, how we made the adjustment of going from having a full-time |
