Christine recounts some of the key speakers, including Hal Elrod, an extraordinary survivor and motivational speaker, and Christian Boucousis, a fighter pilot who teaches the concept of 'thought loops.' The event isn't just about listening; it's interactive and engaging. Janet emphasizes this, reinforcing that attendees will not be bored, thanks in part to local leader Jay Foreman. With networking breaks, fun exercises, and numerous giveaways, the event offers a well-rounded experience. Good news for businesses and teams: there's a price incentive. For every six people registered, the seventh ticket is free. Christine also mentions how easy it is to register, making the process hassle-free and accessible. Leadercast is perfectly timed this year, with early bird registration closing on May 5th. Christine urges everyone to sign up before enjoying their Cinco de Mayo margaritas to avail of the discount. 'It's $149 if you register on or before May 5th. After that, it goes up to $189,' she adds. Finally, Christine emphasizes the value of leadership training, not just within the workplace but also in daily life. 'You could be leading your family, a committee, or a sports team. Leadership skills are universally applicable,' she says. Leadercast 2025 is more than just an event; it's a transformative experience that promises to be both educational and entertaining. Christine sums it up best: 'The reviews we get on the evaluations every year are life-changing. It's just life-changing because these are skills that anybody can use and will make your life so much easier.'

A Note from James:Ryan Estis is potentially the most successful public speaker worldwide. I've known him for about a decade, thanks to our mutual friend Scott Cohen, who has appeared on this podcast several times and is an outstanding entrepreneur.Over the years, Ryan and I have developed a strong friendship, partly due to our connection with Scott. Ryan is an exceptional public speaker, known for his inspirational talks. He possesses a wealth of knowledge in business, sales, and global affairs, speaking at various events worldwide.Recently, he co-authored a book with his brother Chad, an executive with several sports teams, including the Cowboys. The book, titled "Prepare for Impact," features many compelling stories. I particularly recommend the "30 Steps to Success" section, which encourages readers to devise their strategies for success.I was curious to learn how Ryan became a top public speaker, including how he started his career, increased his fees, and gained the confidence to work independently. I also wondered about his future plans, especially how he intends to adapt his career as he ages and possibly reduce his travel for speaking engagements.These inquiries, while specific to Ryan, are relevant across all industries for professionals considering the future of their careers, wealth, and success.It was a great pleasure to speak with my friend Ryan Estis. His insights, shared in our conversation and in his book "Prepare for Impact," are sure to inspire many. Episode Description:This podcast episode features a comprehensive conversation with Ryan Estis, celebrated as one of the most successful public speakers globally. The discussion touches upon Ryan's journey from a prolific sales professional to a distinguished public speaker and author. James and Ryan explore the essence of Ryan's new book, 'Prepare for Impact,' co-authored with his brother Chad, who has an extensive executive background in sports management. The book encapsulates 30 steps to success, offering insightful advice on professional growth and human-centered leadership. Beyond discussing his literary work, Ryan delves into the nuances of public speaking, including his start, evolving fee structures, branching out on his own, and envisioning a future where he doesn't have to travel as intensely. They also discuss the implications of aging on career and life choices, reflecting on personal development and shifting from proving to giving back to the community. The conversation further explores Ryan's new venture, ImpactEleven, which aims to support and accelerate the growth of public speakers, and contemplates the transformative impacts of global crises on personal and professional reinvention.
