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?

0:10.2

Well, that tool exists.

Even better, we're going to teach you exactly how

1:28.1

What do I need to do?

And so we've been letting you kind of listen behind the curtain here on these coaching calls or giving him some next steps, some action items, some homework, and he's been following through. So we are getting in closer and closer to the finish line. So you definitely want to stay tuned to see how this turns out and how this plays out in the coming weeks.
