0:00.0	Hey, Fran, Graham Baldwin here.
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

0:55.6	If you're having a great day, we really do appreciate you being here. We are back for part two of this
1:00.2	series that I'm really excited about. This is a lot of fun. Now, as you may recall, you may have heard
1:06.8	the first part of this series several months ago. We released that. We'd actually recorded several
1:11.5	parts, released the first episode, and then we put it on pause. We're going to come back and
1:16.6	tell you why, so hang tight with us on that. But there's been a lot that has happened that we
1:20.9	are going to update you on in the coming parts of the series. But for the next seven weeks,
1:26.8	we are going to be releasing the rest of this series. So it's going to be a total of an eight-part series. But for the next seven weeks, we are going to be releasing the rest of this series.
1:29.7	So it's going to be a total of an eight-part series. We definitely want you to listen to the whole
1:34.2	thing because there's some, it's just a fascinating story. The journey that we go through here
1:41.4	is one that I think a lot of people can learn from and grow from in their speaking business and in life. So here's what we're going to do. This is again, part two of this series. And if you haven't listened to part one, you definitely want to go back and do it. But let me give you some more context, just to kind of refresh you. We had someone on our team who does a lot of writing for us. He's been working with us for a couple years. He said, hey, I'm interested in doing more speaking engagements. And I'm kind of wondering, does what we teach actually work? Like, that's a fair question. That's a valid question. And so we walked with him through the process and did a lot of coaching over the course of several months and recorded these coaching calls. And that's what you're going to be hearing in this series. You're going to be hearing someone who is going, I think I can do this. But I see these success stories, but I'm wondering, can it work for me? And we know that a lot of you who may be listening, maybe in that same spot, you listen to the podcast, you watch the YouTube videos, you're in the Facebook group, you've read the speaker, the successful speaker book.
2:37.3	You are following along with all these things and you're just going like, yeah, but does it
2:42.2	work for me? And so Brian Elaine is exactly that same person who's going, I want to be a speaker.
