Summary
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with a gentleman named Pete Vargas, and it turns out that over the past few years, Pete has become the go-to guy when it comes to anything and everything related to speaking from any kind of stage or platform…
If you want to know how to craft an amazing talk that can move an audience...
If you want to know how to craft an irresistible but casual, no pressure offer that can literally produce millions of dollars in sales in a single day... And if you want to learn how to get paid to speak from stages around the world, then Pete is your guy.
And just to clarify, when Pete and I talk about speaking from stage, that includes speaking from an actual stage with a live audience, as well as speaking on a podcast, or a webinar.
Well after he finished sharing a few stories with me about his work and what his clients have accomplished, I realized that I have been missing out on a massive, massive opportunity to make an impact, and grow my business.
I’ve always known there were opportunities when it came to speaking, but I had no idea how big those opportunities were.
In fact, a month later I flew out to Wisconsin and spent two days learning how to craft the perfect talk from Pete and his team, and it was just an incredible experience.
Now personally, here’s why I’m making stages a huge priority for my business next year…
It’s the best possible way to make an impact and build rapport with an audience.
There’s no competition… You have a captive audience who’s there to hear your message, and if you decide to make an offer at the end of your talk, people tend to buy.
And finally, it’s a consistent way to acquire new customers without having to worry about Facebook or Google’s algorithm.
Stages have always been around, and will continue to be around no matter what happens on the tech side.
Thankfully Pete was recently back in Austin for another business visit, so I invited him over the house to record this amazing interview so he can share his wisdom with you.
Next year I’m going to start speaking from all kinds of stages, both real and virtual, and I think you’re going to want to do the same by the time you finish this incredible interview with Pete Vargas.

| 0:23.2 | conversation. So it turns out that over the past few years, Pete has become the go-to guy when it |
| 0:28.9 | comes to anything and everything related to speaking from a stage or platform. So if you want to know |
| 0:35.4 | how to craft an amazing talk that can move an audience, if you want to know how to craft an amazing talk that can move an audience, if you want |
| 0:39.0 | to know how to craft an irresistible but casual, no pressure offer that can literally produce |
| 0:45.5 | millions of dollars in sales in a single day, or if you want to learn how to get paid to speak |
| 0:50.0 | from stages around the world, travel, see the world, and all of that good stuff. Pete is the go-to |
| 0:55.4 | guy for everybody that I know in this industry. So in addition to that, I want to clarify, when |
| 1:02.2 | Pete and I are talking about speaking from stage today, that also includes speaking from an actual |
| 1:07.6 | stage with a live audience. But in addition to that, it might be speaking |
| 1:10.9 | from a podcast or a webinar. So essentially think of a stage as a platform, not just something |
| 1:16.6 | that you would do at a TED talk or at an event, but any kind of platform, including this |
| 1:21.4 | podcast. Well, after he finished sharing a few stories with me about his work and what his clients |

| 1:50.0 | and I spent two days learning how to craft the perfect talk from Pete and his team live in person, |
| 1:56.7 | which was an absolutely incredible experience. The framework that I got from that, you can essentially think of it as a copywriting framework |
| 2:04.3 | or a storytelling framework, was worth every single penny. |
| 2:07.8 | It was absolutely amazing in something that I'm going to be applying in all of my sales |
