info_outlineWelcome to the first episode of the Speak to Freedom podcast! I'm super excited to share this journey with you because it's a subject that resonates deeply with me.
As speakers, we often find ourselves in a world where our passion for the stage is only sometimes fully understood. While our loved ones may support us, many may not fully grasp our drive to share our message. However, for those of us captivated by the power of speech, we know firsthand the transformative impact it can have on lives. Whether you're here as an aspiring speaker or a seasoned one looking to refine your craft, I'm here to guide you on your journey.
My path to speaking began with a desire to make an impact. From my days in the NFL to opening a gym and teaching fitness, I was drawn to sharing my experiences on a larger stage. Despite the positive reception to my story, transitioning to a full-time speaking career posed significant challenges. Through trial and error, I understood that success as a speaker isn't just about mastering the art of speaking; it's also about getting the business side of things. That's where Speak to Freedom comes in. We're dedicated to helping individuals become impactful speakers and build sustainable speaking businesses that align with their passions and values.
In this podcast, we'll go into great detail about speaking's technical and business sides. We'll cover every aspect of the process, from refining your message to landing high-paying speaking gigs. We'll also have fascinating interviews with seasoned speakers and coaching sessions with aspiring speakers to provide you with more motivation and priceless insights.
So, whether you're enamored by the idea of speaking or already a speaker looking to enhance your skills, I'm here to help you navigate this exciting path. My journey from NFL player to sought-after speaker earning $25,000 per keynote has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and I'm excited to share what I've learned with you.
But let's address a crucial point. I realized early on that simply honing my speaking skills wasn't enough. I needed to master the art of getting on stage and getting paid for it. This podcast isn't just about becoming a great speaker; it's about building a thriving speaking business, and that's where my five essential tips come into play.
Firstly, you need a robust foundation for your business, including a million-dollar message, a money-multiplying framework, and an adaptable keynote. Second, you must have a lead flow structure to attract speaking opportunities. Third, you need a growth strategy that involves evolving your speech, innovating on stage, and strategically spinning your speeches into further opportunities.
Additionally, mentorship is crucial. Find someone who has walked the path before you and can guide you. Lastly, act on your aspirations. Don't let fear hold you back from pursuing your dreams.
By following these tips and tuning into this podcast, you'll gain the skills and insights to lead a life of freedom. So, thank you for joining me on this journey. Subscribe to the podcast, share it with those who need it, and let's embark on this exciting adventure together. Remember, it's not just about speaking; it's about talking to freedom.
