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 speaklab.com slash marketing and we'll see you there. Hey, what's up, my friend, Graham Baldwin

here. Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast. Hope you're doing well. Hope life is treating you good.

Today we're talking with my buddy Arell Moody, who's a speaker and just a good dude. Arell and I actually met almost a decade ago when we first started speaking. We've crossed past a lot over

the years, spoke at several events together. And so in this episode, he shares a lot of specific

strategies, strategie things that he has done that has really worked for him and how he's built

and grown his business. One of the other things also is that a rail host a podcast called

The Art of Likeability. And so we spend some time chatting about that as well and the importance of being likable as a speaker. And so how do you build that some of that likability into what it is that you're doing and building those, that rapport and that connection with audiences as well as decision maker. So a great episode for you today, excited for it. Let's get right into it. Here's my chit-chat and my conversation with my buddy Arel Moody. Enjoy. What's up, my friends? Graham Baldwin here. Welcome back to the Speaker Lab podcast. Today, I'm joined by my beautiful buddy, Arrell Moody, who's a speaker, author, entrepreneur, all around good dude.

What's up, Arrell?

How are you, man? What's going on, G.B. Happy to be here, brother. You are. Just listening to you just brings a smile to my face. He's the type of guy that just put you in a good mood. How's life treating you? Oh, man, things are going great. I am at home, just spent the last week at home, and I'm looking forward to hitting on road and doing some events.

And in like six days, I'll be in four different states, so really excited about it. Hitting all the time zones, it sounds like, too. Yeah, it's going to be all mountain, standard, Cal Pacific. Yeah, it's going to be fun. You ever have those days where you wake up in the hotel and especially especially when you're going from city to city to city, and you're just kind of like, all right, what time zone am I in? Where am I supposed to be right now? I haven't actually had that. I've really, because I, one time, literally this is a true story, I spoke in a town that was a border of New Mexico and Texas, and the New Mexico is in mountain standard time, but Texas is the airport I flew into, which is central.

Yeah.

So when I drove back, I literally lost an hour that I didn't know existed, and now I'm like extra paranoid always about time zone.

So every time I fly, I'm like, all right, well, times all right, time zone always changed my watch so i will not let that time zone crash happen ever again so very on point with it

i've got uh you'll appreciate this this is actually a gear up school i spoke at and we're gonna get to
