How to Be Married to a Speaker (Part II)

With Sheila Baldwin

This is my favorite guest we’ve ever had and ever will have: my wife! We are talking with Sheila Baldwin, my other half.

Sheila was previously here with us on episode 60, and we’re bringing her back for part two today. We’ll talk about how to be married to a speaker: what Sheila’s role has been in my business, what it’s really like for her when I travel, how we divide up chores and what we like to do for fun.

You’ll hear Sheila give her thoughts on those topics and more today. Please enjoy this conversation with me and my wife on this episode of The Speaker Lab!
