What is up, my friend? Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast. We are on episode 109. I got a great guest for you today

hanging out sharing some of her wisdom and a knowledge, freshly baked knowledge biscuits. Not just any

knowledge, but like knowledge biscuits. I don't even know what that means. That's, that's weird.

Okay. So, hey, before we get into today's podcast interview, today's discussion and conversation, hey, let me quickly remind you, if you haven't already, we'd love for you to register for an over upcoming live workshops where we are teaching all about how to find in books, speak, and engagement.

So again, stop by free speakerworkshop.com. Register for that. And we will catch you at the next one of those. All right. So today we're going to be talking with my friend Kerry Wilkerson. Great conversation, a wide-ranging conversation with Kerry. So we talk about how most speakers are more introverted than extroverted. I think that's one thing that most speakers just aren't aware of, that they think in order to be a speaker, you've got to be some type of raging extrovert. That is just not the case. We also talk about that there's no specific personality type that's really tailor-made for speakers. There's a lot of different types of personalities of people that become speakers. We talk about the balance between the mental confidence of being a

speaker and then also taking action just on getting booked. So we'll just talk about mindset,

which is an important piece. And then we also talk about the importance of free gigs and how

she has used those free gigs to become a better speaker over time. So again, great conversation

with my friend Kerry Wilkerson. Let's get right into it. I hope you enjoy this chit-chat chatteroo with Ms. Carrie Wilkerson.

What is all, my friends? Grant Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast. Hey, today

we are joined by my always sassy friend, Miss Carrie Wilkerson, who is extra sassy today. She hasn't had much coffee, but she warned me nonetheless that she's feeling sassy. So, Miss Carrie, how are you? I'm good. Do you know you're the only person that ever calls me that? Maybe because there's like a screen between us and several hundred miles. Maybe because you're the other one that's scared. I feel at a safe distance of. and everyone else is like, no, I'm not going to risk that. There you go.
