“Grant Baldwin reveals many invisible but real struggles that are in the background of the public speaker on the stage: the travel, the preparation, the nerves, the hope that we will connect with people, and how to make all this effort pay the bills. For many, this will be a game-changer.” -Michael Hyatt

Out guest today is one of my favorite speakers, Grant Baldwin. Grant is one of my go-to resources anytime I need to give a talk or learn to be a better speaker or onstage personality.

  • tips and tactics that people can use that will make them a better speaker
  • and, how much should someone charge to speak
