“The mistake I'm seeing a lot of companies make is they're racing to shove it into a product where they're trying to drive costs down before the leaders making the call have become AI-driven leaders.”Feeling overwhelmed by AI and unsure how it fits into your speaking business? In this value-packed episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, for a refreshingly practical look at embracing technology without losing your human edge.Geoff shares how speakers should treat AI as a tool, focusing on using it to drive real results and streamline the work that matters most. He introduces straightforward frameworks, like his CRIT method (Context, Role, Interview, Task), to help you get more out of AI, whether you're prepping your next keynote or brainstorming business strategy.What shines through is the focus on human strengths and meaningful connections. Rather than fearing that AI will make us obsolete, Geoff sees it as a chance for speakers to elevate their unique value and creativity, freeing up more time for what only humans do best.The best strategy for implementing AI is to start small, use it to enhance, not replace, your skills, and keep your conversations, follow-ups, and business development rooted in authenticity. Give the episode a listen and learn how to turn today's technology into tomorrow's new opportunities!You'll learn:The role of AI for speakers and entrepreneursThree core business areas impacted by AIUtilizing AI for high-impact, strategic decisionsUsing AI as a “thought partner, not a thought leaderLeveraging AI for analyzingHow technology changes the skill sets for jobsImportance of adaptability and learning over fear of changeAnd much, much more!“I have a very simple framework for communicating with AI called CRIT: Context, Role, Interview, and Task.”Episode ResourcesGeoff's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“The act of you and I exchanging contact information raises the standard that there is going to be a follow up…You want to make that connection and set the expectation right then and there.”Ever left a conference buzzing, only to watch that excitement fizzle when it comes to follow-up? This live coaching session from The Speaker Lab pulls back the curtain on how pros turn event momentum into real speaking business.Facilitator Erick Rheam teams up with speakers Bridget Quigg and Shannon GaNun for a candid conversation about what works and what doesn't in post-event follow-up. Bridget shares her frustration when promising leads go silent, and Erick offers simple, practical advice: always exchange contact info in person, set clear expectations for next steps, and don't rely on LinkedIn or mass attendee lists. Real business starts with real, personal connections.Shannon's question on breaking into corporate gigs leads to another golden nugget: you don't need a hard pitch. Just mention that you're available for future engagements. Those off-the-cuff invitations can turn warm applause into future bookings.Above all, this episode is a reminder that success as a speaker lies in small tweaks, human conversations, and showing up consistently. Don't overcomplicate it, be approachable, follow up promptly, and seize opportunities. Listen in and learn how to make every gig and every follow-up count.You'll learn:Using a consistent methodology various length talksAuthentic, conversational human interactions on stageOvercoming fear of forgetting points during live presentationsLeaning into your professional background and network for focus areasEffective follow-up strategies after eventsTurning custom items into repeatable assetsOn-stage call-to-action practicesThe SPARK framework (Statistic, Picture, Anecdote, Real-life story)The importance of practicingAnd much, much more!"I believe everybody was created for a unique purpose. And until we learn how to communicate clearly, concisely and confidently, we'll never be able to fulfill that purpose.”Episode ResourcesErick's WebsiteBridget's WebsiteShannon's Website2 Day Booked and Paid BootcampGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Joe take listeners on a journey through memory, mischief, and meaningful conversations — all rolled by the luck of the dice.The episode kicks off with the Question of the Week: “What is the first movie you remember seeing in theaters?” Joe, Charles, and even some of the show's listeners share their earliest big-screen memories. Whether it was awe, fear, or total confusion, the nostalgia is real.With the roll of the dice, the first segment lands on some wonderfully cringey dad jokes submitted by Devocite. They're the kind of groaners that relax the soul and make you laugh in spite of yourself.Next, it's time for the “How Do I...?” segment, where Charles and Joe give practical, thoughtful advice on becoming a more confident public speaker. Whether you're prepping for a panel, a PTA meeting, or just trying not to stutter at your kid's school event, this advice is gold.The dice then call forth the “Parliament of Papas”, where the guys discuss a real-world parenting dilemma: a mom constantly correcting people on her daughter's name. Is it about identity, respect, or social overreach? The discussion is thoughtful, funny, and eye-opening.Next, we dive into “Daddy, Tell Me A Story”, where Charles shares a very real parenting moment — losing his temper during a video game session and having his son repeat some choice words back to him. This sparks a deep and honest talk about how closely our kids watch us, and how important it is to model the behavior we want to see.Finally, the episode wraps with “What are you Nerding out about?”. Joe raves about a new anime, The Water Magician, praising its stunning visuals and emotionally rich storytelling. Charles shares a few things he's been enjoying lately — including his cohost Kurt's ventures into voice acting and the addictive indie game Balatro.From parenting confessions to pop culture obsessions, this episode is a perfect reminder to laugh, grow, and Find your FAMdom.

Develop unfakable masculine integrity: https://shanemelaugh.com/integrity/Everyone who gives advice about how to become a better man is parroting the same checklist:Get rippedGet richCold showersWake up at 5amBut here's the problem: if you do this, you're not becoming a man, you're becoming a clone. What's worse, you'll probably FAIL at the attempt to become a cookie-cutter alpha male clone.In this video, I break down why most masculinity advice is just projection from guys who happened to be good at something. And how blindly following them is not only ineffective, it's unmasculine.Then, we look at exactly what you can do to avoid the "template masculine" trap and forge your own path instead.

"I know there's a lot of benefits to automation, but when it came to [outreach], I felt it was very important for me to send personalized emails to each person in my network to tell them what I was doing and ask if I could help."If you've ever considered leaving a stable corporate career to pursue something more meaningful, Tania Will Jeppesen's story is essential listening. On this week's episode of The Speaker Lab podcast, host Grant Baldwin sits down with Tania—a former operations and HR leader who took the leap from a secure job and steady paycheck to launch her own consulting business, “The Prepared Leader.” It's an episode full of practical advice and heartfelt honesty for anyone wrestling with the tension between comfort and calling.After nearly two decades in the trenches of supply chain and operations, Tania recognized a gap: frontline managers were often overlooked in leadership development. Driven by a blend of professional experience, a supportive family, and her own faith, she finally acted on a decade-old dream. Tania brings listeners behind the scenes of that decision—sharing candidly about the fears of risk, being the main earner, and modeling courage for her daughters.What makes Tania's journey so relatable is her willingness to focus on what she can control: hard work, authenticity, and showing up for others. Rather than trying to appeal to everyone, she leans into her unique strengths, guided by a clear framework and her deep understanding of her niche. Through every challenge, she keeps her priorities in check—aiming for both business impact and quality time at home.Whether you're dreaming of your own entrepreneurial leap or just searching for courage to act, Tania's story is a timely reminder that the most meaningful success is building a life (and business) that's truly yours.You'll learn:Weighing risk aversion against entrepreneurship dreamsDecision-making and positive-outcome mindsetsHelping organizations level up frontline leadersConsulting as a viable career-pathInitial networking stepsIncorporating family into the entrepreneurial journeyMarket validation through direct-network outreachLeveraging industry knowledgeAnd much, much more!"I really wanted to go into [consulting] with a mindset of not what's the worst that could happen, but what's the best that could happen if I do this?"Episode ResourcesTania's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Professor Molly Bishop Shadel provides advice to law students on public speaking, including preparing for oral presentations, effective delivery and combating nervousness. (University of Virginia School of Law, March 18, 2025)

"Your psychology is everything. The way you interpret events matters more than the events themselves."These powerful words from licensed clinical social worker Yuri Mello capture the essence of a transformative approach to parenting teenagers. As a father of five and co-founder of School Pulse, Mello brings decades of clinical experience and personal wisdom to the challenging landscape of parent-teen relationships.Most parents find themselves stuck in reactive patterns, responding to each crisis as it emerges rather than building the foundation for lasting connection. Mello introduces a revolutionary framework that distinguishes between "inviting" positive outcomes and "provoking" resistance in our interactions with teens. This simple but profound shift in approach can transform even the most strained parent-teen dynamics.At the heart of Mello's approach is the "positive interaction ratio" - maintaining at least three positive moments for every challenging conversation. Our brains are wired to remember negative experiences more vividly than positive ones, which means parents must intentionally create an abundance of positive interactions to balance the inevitable difficult moments. When this ratio flips negative, relationships deteriorate rapidly.Mello reimagines Maslow's hierarchy of needs for parenting, placing emotional safety at the foundation, followed by trust, kindness, and only then accountability. Too many parents invert this pyramid, focusing primarily on discipline while neglecting the relationship layers that make discipline effective. Through practical examples and vulnerable personal stories, Mello demonstrates how parents can position themselves to be among the first people their teens turn to in times of need.The conversation also explores School Pulse, an innovative program delivering positive psychology content directly to students via text messages and videos, creating pathways for support before crises occur. This proactive approach represents the future of mental health support for young people.Listen now to discover practical strategies for maintaining connection during the turbulent teen years and building relationships that will last a lifetime. Your approach to parenting challenges today shapes not just your child's behavior, but who they become and how they'll relate to you for decades to come.

I taught a public speaking class in Houston last week for a great group of people. We had an absolute blast. But the class was a little smaller than normal. And it got me thinking about a topic that I covered a couple of years ago, but we haven't really delved into a lot -- public speaking coaching.If you'd listened to a few episodes, you'll know that I am a big fan of public speaking classes because classes allow participants to practice speaking in a controlled environment. They are a safer way to experiment and try different techniques out. And, since everyone in a public speaking class is working toward the same goal, they are typically very supportive.But what about public speaking coaching? Especially, one-on-one coaching. Is that really effective? So, on this episode, I give you the pros and cons of public speaking coaching.Show Notes: The Pros and Cons of Public Speaking Coachinghttps://www.fearlesspresentations.com/public-speaking-training/presentation-coaching/

“I was trying to figure out what's my lane that I need to be saying yes to? And what are the things I would have to say no to so that I can say yes to the better things?”Kent Chevalier's speaking journey is anything but conventional. In this week's episode of The Speaker Lab podcast, Grant Baldwin sits down with Kent, a longtime pastor turned Pittsburgh Steelers chaplain—who's built his career at the intersection of faith, leadership, and personal courage.Kent opens up about transitioning from preaching in churches to mentoring professional athletes, and how the toughest challenge wasn't the change of audience, it was learning to truly value his craft. Like many who come from service-driven backgrounds, Kent faced the uncomfortable work of charging for his expertise, despite years spent speaking for free. He shares honestly about wrestling with guilt, setting boundaries, and deciding that his time spent away from his wife and daughters needed to be respected and compensated.Underneath it all is a message familiar to anyone striving to turn passion into a profession: fulfillment comes from betting on yourself, even when the path feels risky. Whether he's backstage at an NFL game or leading a business seminar, Kent's mantra of “do it afraid” holds true. If you need a push to embrace your own next leap, Kent's story will remind you that your purpose is bigger than any one season, and your gifts are worth every bit of what you ask!You'll learn:Kent's role as a Pittsburgh Steelers chaplainPreaching new content as opposed to reusing talksNavigating which opportunities to accept and declineChallenges of charging for speakingTarget audiences and adjusting approach based on event contextImportance of expert positioning and business fundamentalsAnd much, much more!“I love encouraging people to embrace fear and to jump because comfort is really a robber.

“I feel guilty to charge [money] for what I love to do…one woman said, ‘They should pay you because it's your gift, you shouldn't feel guilty about it.'”Few stories capture the grit and transformation behind a speaking business like Stephanie Dauphin's journey. This week, Grant Baldwin chats with Stephanie on The Speaker Lab podcast about investing over a decade in her craft—often speaking for free, wrangling self-doubt, and struggling with the idea that meaningful, joyful work can (and should) be well-paid.Her turning point wasn't just learning how to market herself or build a keynote. It was doing the mindset work: identifying and letting go of limiting beliefs around money, motherhood, and self-worth, many rooted in her upbringing. Stephanie is honest about the messy process, the fear of charging what you're worth, and the inner resistance that can sabotage your best opportunities.What shines through is her hard-earned wisdom: fulfillment comes from embracing your gifts, serving others, and having the courage to genuinely value yourself. Stephanie's story is proof that your passion deserves to be your profession—and that the most important shift is believing you're worth every bit of it. If you're doubting what's possible, let Stephanie's journey remind you that building your dream starts with betting on yourself, even when the path forward is unclear.You'll learn:How authority can be a speaker's assetThe challenges of remote work and its effect on workplace relationshipsIssues around charging for speaking engagementsStrategies for overcoming mindset obstaclesStephanie's experience with The Speaker LabAbout building a mailing list and using content to generate referralsThe importance of designing a speaking career around family needsStep for self-developmentAnd much, much more!“More and more people are working remotely, and it has a big effect on team cohesion.”Episode ResourcesStephanie's WebsiteGet Free Speaker ResourcesBook a Call with The Speaker LabCalculate Your Speaking FeeJoin The Speaker Lab Community on FacebookSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
