The 5 Essentials to Pitching Yourself

With The Speaker Lab

Welcome back to The Speaker Lab! This week we’ve got another episode of listener Q&As. We have one question from Cathy about the absolute essentials to pitching yourself.

We also have a question from Greg who asks about using past media appearances that are notable but not related to his current line of work. Can he do it and if so, how should he do it?

Tune in to hear the answers. And if you’d like to ask a question of your own go to the Ask Grant section here and ask away!
