Hey, what's up, my friend? Grant Baldwin here. Welcome back to the speaker lab podcast. We are glad

that you are joining us today. Hope you're having a great day. And whether this is your first time listening or you've been with us since the beginning, really glad you are here, whether you're a brand new speaker. You're just like, I just don't know what I don't know. Or you've been at this for a long time. Again, either way, we're glad and honored that you are here. So today we are having another co-hosted episode with Ms. Melanie Diesel, and we're going to get to that in just a second. Before we do, let me remind you, if you haven't already, we'd love for you to attend our free training, where we're teaching all about how to find and book paid speaking engagement. So if you're a speaker just going, I'm a speaker, I've done some speaking, but I just need some help in finding and booking more gigs, doing it quicker and having a system for how to exactly do that. Make sure again, you stop by and check out free speakerworkshop.com. Again, that is free speakerworkshop.com. We host that free training every day and would love for you to join us for that. Again, you can find that over at free speaker workshop.com. Today, we are going to be having a conversation with Melanie all

about how to transition from a speaking part-time, speaking a little bit here and there, to being

able to do it full-time. So we talk about how our, like our own stories of how we made the

transition to full-time. We talk about when to make the transition, when makes the most sense. Talk about how to juggle everything before, during and after the transition, as well as how to best prepare yourself to make the transition as smooth as possible. So maybe you're kind of in that limbo spot where you're doing a lot of speaking gigs, but you also have a full-time job. And it's just like, it's just right there, but not quite enough to be able to make the

leap. Or maybe you don't feel like it's enough. And so maybe today is an encouragement for

you that maybe you have more in place than you think you do in order to make that leap to go

from part-time to full-time. So let's dig into it. Let's have this conversation with Melanie Diesel. Enjoy. Hey, what's all my friends? Grant Bolden here today? Join by Miss Melanie Diesel, and we are back. We haven't done a co-hosted episode in a little while. In a minute. It's been too long. It's too long. Let's get the band back together. This is fun.
