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 speakakerlab.com slash marketing. That's all you got to do is go to the speakerlab.com slash marketing and we'll see you there.

Hey, what's up? Friends, Grant Baldwin here. So good to have you here with us today for another

awesome episode of the Speaker Lab podcast. Now, my guest today is one of our coaches here at the Speaker Lab, my friend, Miss Nanette Hitchcock. And if you don't know who she is, you're going to love her by the end of this episode. We're going to cover a whole bunch of good stuff in this conversation, including her path from being a leadership coach to a sought-after keynote speaker, how she combined her past experiences with discipline research to figure out her why for speaking

and how she helps other speakers get past that imposter syndrome,

which is something almost all of us have dealt with or continue to deal with at some point in our careers.

Also, make sure you stick around to the end because I love what Nanette has to say

about setting the right goals that match up with where you want to get to in your speaking business. It is just so easy to spend energy on things that don't directly tie into your success as a speaker. Nanette has some great wisdom to share around that idea, so you don't want to miss that. I always get so much out of talking with Nanette, and I'm excited to share her wisdom with you today. So let's get right into it. Here's my conversation with one of our coaches here at the speaker lab, Miss Nanette Hitchcock. Enjoy. Hey, it was our friend's Grant here, joined by my friend Ms. Nanette Hitchcock. He's one of our coaches here at the speaker lab, I'm so excited to talk with Nanette.

And she's so excited to talk with all of us.

Because, in fact, I was like, hey, here's what we're going to talk about it. She jumped right in. I was like, no, no, no, hang on, hang on, hang on. She's that excited to talk with us. So, Nanette, thank you for being here. How are you today? I am great, Grant, and I am so glad to be here.

It's good to chat with you.

Always good to hang out with you.

I wish people could see you right now because your smile is just infectious, your energy. You're just such a, like you're like the mom of our company. Like we just, we love Nanette here at the speaka lab. So Nanette, let's go back in time for a second. Talk to us about

first, how did you first get into speaking? It's quite a journey, actually. And 20 years ago,

when I didn't know anything, didn't know why I was speaking. In this case in point here,
