you here with us today.

Hope life is treating you good. Hopefully things are just humming along for you. Life is a new year, all right?

Got to be excited about that. New year, new year. Hey, whether you're brand new to speaking, maybe you're just getting started. You know this. This is a new year. I've been dreaming about this idea of speaking for a while.

This is my year. Maybe that's you. Maybe you've been doing this for several years and you're trying to figure out how do I continue to do it long term. Maybe you've been doing a little bit on the side, trying to figure out how do I get paid, how do I really build a career as a speaker? I got people that are telling me I need to be a speaker.

Now I just got to actually put in the work.

Listen, you have come to be a speaker. Now I just got to

actually put in the work. Listen, you have come to the right place, my friends. This is the

Speaker Lab podcast where we're going to be answering all of your questions, all about getting

booked and paid to speak, about the art of speaking, about presentations, about marketing yourself,

about what to charge, about fees, about all of that different stuff we're going to be covering on this show. So we are on episode two. Welcome, welcome, welcome. If you haven't, go back and listen to episode one. Definitely download that one. Check that out. There, I'm going to give you an overview of the show. What all we're going to be doing, why we started the show, as well as a little bit of my history, my story, my journey. So if you have no context or any idea who I am, that's all right. I forgive you. But definitely stop by checkout episode one. So you hear kind of how I got into speaking, how I built my speaking business and a little of the success that we've had along the way, some of the lessons that we've learned along the way as well. So in the podcast, we're going to be doing a couple different things. Some episodes, you're going to get some training from me, some teaching from me. Some episodes you're going to get some interviews with other speakers, with people in the speaking industry to hear what's working for them, how they've built and grown their business, lessons that they can share. But then also, we're going to do a lot of episodes like the one we are doing today. Today we are going to be doing a lot of just Q&A. We are answering your questions. Many of you have submitted questions to us, and we are going to be taking those questions, answering them live right here on the show. So I'm looking forward to these episodes because it's more than what, you know, it's more than what an interview wants to talk about. It's more than what I would want to talk about. It's what you wanted to talk about. You, the listener, this is why we're going to do this show is because I want to help you in your speaking career.
