306: The Successful Speaker with Grant Baldwin
My guest today has been a friend of mine for a few years now.
I’ve learned a ton from him just watching him and picking up on how he does what he does.
What makes him special? In my opinion, he’s one of the best there is at his craft: the fine art of public speaking.
His name is Grant Baldwin and he’s written a brand new book, out today, along with four-time Read to Lead guest Jeff Goins.
It’s called The Successful Speaker: Five Steps for Booking Gigs, Getting Paid, and Building Your Platform.
Within a week of reading Grant’s book, I secured my own speaking gig worth thousands of dollars using the techniques I learned. It’s that good!
