| 0:54.0 | and it is good to have you here with us today. |
| 0:57.0 | Hope you doing good. Hope you're feeling well. We are in episode number three of the show. |
| 1:01.5 | Brand new show. Just kicking off here. So if you're just joining us, I guess everyone's just joining us in one way or another for just getting rolling here. |
| 1:08.7 | Really excited you're here. However you found us, however you heard about us, really appreciate you hanging out with us. Really excited to be hanging out and chit-chatting today. This is a brand new show. So let me give you a quick overview. If you haven't listened to the first few episodes, make sure you go back and check those out and give you kind of a snapshot of what the show is. It's going to be a mix of teaching, training from me. That's what we're going to be covering today. And then also we're going to be doing a lot of listener Q&A. So if you do have questions, we want to answer those live here on the show. So there's two ways that you can submit questions. You can do that through voicemail or you can just email us and message us a question and we can |
| 1:44.7 | answer that on the show as well. We got a lot of those that have already been submitted. But that's a big thing we want to do is we want to make sure that we are answering the questions that you have. So if you do have questions, you can go over to the speakerlab.com. Again, the speakerlab.com. and you can submit your questions for us there. We will answer those here on the show. And one of the upcoming episodes, we'll let you know when it's going to be on the air. So definitely I'll stop by and check that out over at the speakerlab.com. Also, one of the things we're going to be doing on the show is we're going to be doing a lot of interviews with different guests, people that are currently speakers, people that are in the speaking industry, and just hearing about what |
| 2:20.2 | they've done to build their business, lessons and tips and strategies, tactics, all of that |
| 2:24.6 | juicy goodness for speakers, new and veteran like yourself. So that's what we're going to be doing. |
| 2:30.5 | If you haven't had a chance to go back and listen to episode one, zero zero one, definitely I would recommend that you check that out. There, if you're unfamiliar with me, you have no idea who I am, you just magically stumbled across this. Or someone said, you need to go listen to this guy. He has this velvety, soothing voice. I don't know. They probably didn't say that. But if they do, it makes me feel good inside. But over on episode one, you hear a little bit more about my story, my journey, about what I've done as a speaker, kind of my career speaking, how I got into speaking. So all of that you can find, again, over at episode one. Hey, one other quick housekeeping thing I'll let you know of before we get in today's content is we are doing a contest right now. |
| 3:08.0 | Anytime you launch a new thing, especially like a podcast, you want to make sure that you |
| 3:12.2 | maximize that opportunity and make sure that as many people as possible, find out about it, |
