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.

Hey, what's on? My friend, Grant Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speak of lab podcast. We're

glad that you're here, glad that you are joining us today. All right. So today, we've got a very unique episode that is the first part of a

And so I've always thought it'd be interesting.

And so I've been kicking this idea around for a little bit and then had someone on

our team reach out and said, hey, I got an idea. It's basically the same idea. And he said,

hey, I'm interested in being the guinea pig. And so we actually decided, okay, let's give this a shot.

And so we are bringing one of our own team members, Brian Elaine, he's been working with us for over a year

now. And he said, you know what? I see all these results. And you're going to hear this directly from him. I see all these results. And I just want to know, does this actually work from me? All right. He is skeptical. He's wondering, does this work from him? So what we decided to do is, all right, I mean, we're going to walk through this process.

He was asking me a bunch of questions of how he can apply what, does this work from him? So what we decided to do is, all right, man, we're going to walk through
