Today's guest on The Unconventionalists podcast is Grant Baldwin, creator of The Speaker Lab and author of The Successful Speaker who generated $2million in speaker fees as a professional public speaker.   Grant and his team are on a mission to empower thousands of speakers around the world to get booked and paid to speak, be it on stages or online.   In this first special episode of "In Between Seasons", we dive into the most common mistakes budding speakers make when trying to land speaking gigs.   We also dive into the reality of growing a business from scratch and how that feeling of feast and famine never really goes away, no matter how big your company gets.   Grant shares some personal anecdotes and opens up about the reality of being in the business of speaking as well as shares his biggest wish for everyone listening. If you're looking for tips and help on how to find, book and get paid to speak, this episode is for you.   As always I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway and any follow up questions you might have. I can't wait to read them!
