| 1:40.3 | little bit about virtual speaking. That was something Terry was doing more and more of. We thought, |
| 1:43.9 | man, let's dig into that a little bit more. So we had them back for today's episode to dig into the weeds talking all about virtual speaking. So the technology, the microphones, the camera that you need. We also spend a lot of time talking about pricing yourself, talking about the different types of clients that are hiring virtual speakers, how to position |
| 2:01.3 | yourself, how you can actually make more by speaking virtually than you could by speaking on |
| 2:05.6 | stage. So we talk about a lot of the upside of it of if you're going to do this and things |
| 2:09.6 | to be aware of and consider presentation skills for speaking virtually versus in person. |
| 2:14.3 | So a lot to get to a wide-ranging conversation. I think you're going to get a lot from this. |

| 2:45.9 | have another episode so he is back to talk about all things virtual speaking. So Terry, welcome back, man. |
| 2:51.7 | It is great to be with you again. Really good to see it. I love your haircut again. It's so simple. So simple, right? The amount of time that you and I spent combined on our hair this morning is probably amount of time we spent all year on it. There you go. Very little. So I'm curious on this.
