How to Be Married to a Speaker

With Sheila Baldwin

On today’s episode of The Speaker Lab, I have a very special guest for you! My lovely and amazing wife Sheila Baldwin is here. I brought her on the show to talk about what it’s really like to be married to a speaker.

Today we share the inner workings of our story and our life together, so you can learn from our struggles and our triumphs.

On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Sheila and I talk about the early days of our relationship and our marriage, and how we have always made things work even when we were struggling financially.

We answer a few listeners’ questions and dig into how we as a family deal with my frequent travel, and how Sheila and our girls have become accustomed to our crazy schedules. Listen in to hear all of that and so much more on this episode of The Speaker Lab!
