Writing a Book

To commemorate the official launch of my book, The Successful Speaker, my friend and co-author of the book, Jeff Goins, is here!

On this edition of The Speaker Lab, Jeff and I talk about the book writing process for The Successful Speaker: Five Steps For Booking Gigs, Getting Paid, and Building Your Platform. We also give you a behind the scenes look at the making of this book, how this journey began with a joke (!) and how working on this book actually helped Jeff’s speaking career.

Join us and you’ll find out all of that and so much more on episode 277 of The Speaker Lab with Jeff Goins.
