Episode notes
Grant's Speaking Origins
- Grant Baldwin started as a youth pastor who loved speaking to youth and eventually moved into paid speaking gigs.
- After nearly a decade of speaking and gaining experience, he created The Speaker Lab to teach others how to book speaking gigs.
Be The Steakhouse Not Buffet
- Narrow your speaking niche to be the "steakhouse" not the "buffet" to attract ideal clients.
- Being focused makes it easier to find the right opportunities rather than trying to speak to everyone.
Expertise Is Audience-Relative
- You don't need to be a world-renowned expert; audiences seek someone a step or two ahead in experience.
- Use your own life experience and knowledge to connect and help your audience, not just a dramatic story.
