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 up, friends? Grant Baldwin here. Welcome back to the Speak Aloud podcast. Hope you're doing well. Hope you're having a great day. I'm really excited about today's episode. This is a really fun one. We are wrapping up part eight, the last part of this series with Brian Elaine, as we've been walking through with him for the past several episodes showing him how to find and book paid speaking gigs and

build his speaking business now I will go ahead and tell you that a massive amount has

happened in and Brian's business and the Brian's life since we started this series

and that's part of why we had to that kind of delay getting this release and we

explained that right out of the gate here. This was a really,

really powerful episode. Brian shares some incredibly personal things that have happened to him

recently, but also shares some really great takeaways that he's learned from this process,

kind of his next steps and action items. So really think you're going to learn a lot,

get a lot from today's episode. I'm really, really excited with it. Before we get there, let me remind you, if you haven't already, definitely you want to pick up your copy of the successful speaker. This is our new book that walks through five steps for how to find gigs, get paid, and build your platform. It is the resource that you need. So listen, quit dinging around.

If you've been listening to this podcast for any length of time, the book's like, I don't know, 15, 20 bucks or something on Amazon. You can probably get it cheaper than that on Kindle or Audible. But go pick up your copy of the successful speaker. Again, five stats for booking gigs, getting paid, building your platform. It is the book, the guide, the step-by-step plan that you need to find and book gigs, to build and grow your speaking business, to share your message with the world. So go pick that up. All right. Let's get into this conversation with Brian, Elaine. Again, you're really going to enjoy this. We'd love to hear from you about lessons that you've learned from this, that you can

apply to your own speaking business. So let's jump into it. Here's this conversation with Brian Alain.
