“When speakers communicate directly with the clients and leave me out of the communication, it can get fuzzy. And there have been times when that's happened and logistical details have not occurred and it has cost somebody money.”Behind every outstanding speaking event is a world of logistics, relationships, and attention to detail that most audiences never see. On this week's episode of The Speaker Lab, host Grant Baldwin chats with Lori Kennedy from Premier Speakers Bureau, an “advance agent” who has mastered the art of making events run smoothly.Lori unpacks the critical steps that set the best speakers apart, from executing contracts and managing travel to handling last-minute changes with calm professionalism. Her candid stories from the field highlight the importance of flexibility, communication, and always having a Plan B.For speakers aiming to build strong, long-term relationships with event planners and bureaus, Lori emphasizes the power of simple habits like responding quickly to emails, keeping commitments, and always looping your team in on changes. She shares why being easy to work with is just as crucial as what you do on stage, and how thoughtful touches like thank-you notes or a quick text that you've arrived can make all the difference.Packed with actionable advice, this episode is a must-listen whether you're just starting or looking to elevate your reputation. From pre-event preparation to making a lasting impression after the applause, Lori's wisdom will help you become the kind of speaker event planners can't wait to work with again!You'll learn:The meaning and responsibilities of an advanced agentRisks associated with speakers handling logistics independentlyBest practices for booking travelRoles of agents in contract creation and executionTips for making event logistics smoother for everyone involvedThe importance of personalized connection before, during, and after eventsAnd much, much more!“I am doing logistics, or what we call advancing the event, and therefore the word advanced agent…and before you go to the venue, you have to have everything set up…and so advancing was always the part that happened before you arrived to make sure that they were ready when you arrived.”Episode ResourcesLori'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.

“Content is still important, but content is much more of a commodity. So the premise has to be that we've got to create something…It has to include conversation, it has to include community, it has to include the idea that there's going to be something that's analog that happens.”In this week's episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with Brad Lomenick about what truly makes speakers memorable. Brad's big takeaway is that being great to work with matters even more than being the most dynamic person on stage.Brad shares that self-awareness is key: know your strengths, get feedback, and focus on the type of events where you shine. He also highlights the importance of personal touches like connecting with organizers, knowing your audience, and showing genuine kindness.Ultimately, it's the offstage moments and relationships you build that lead to lasting success.

“A photo in general is not going to win you business, but bad photos are going to lose you your business all the time because it absolutely crushes.”Ever dread getting new headshots or wonder if your photos help your speaking business? On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with photographer John DeMato about what matters when it comes to imagery and visual storytelling for speakers.John's best advice is that your branding photos aren't for you; they're for your audience. Every image should invite people into your world and show how you help them, building trust and credibility. This means going beyond stiff portraits and staged shots. John stresses having a strategy: your photos should tell the story of who you serve, how you solve problems, and what working with you looks like. Think candid behind-the-scenes moments, action shots, and authentic glimpses of your process, not just you on stage with a mic.Additionally, John advises focusing on natural, in-the-moment photos rather than stiff posing. And while iPhone snaps work for everyday social posts, invest in professionally captured images for your website or speaker kit. Bring outfits you'd wear on stage, choose simple backgrounds, and use natural light to keep things genuine. Most importantly, if your brand changes, refresh your photo library!You'll learn:The purpose and power of speaker photosDefinition of visual storytelling for speakersStrategic approaches to speaker brandingCommon mistakes speakers make with photographyBuilding authenticity and comfort in photosDealing with skepticismCapturing genuine “magic moments”And much, much more!“[Branding] photos aren't for you, they're for them.

“If your heart is genuinely how do I care about people by doing what I love to do, if that's the driver of it, I don't see how you can not end up in a place that is rewarding, fulfilling, and doing something that makes the world a better place.”Ever wonder if your story is worth sharing or how to even start turning your experience into a book, speech, or brand? In this episode of The Speaker Lab, Grant Baldwin chats with Bill Blankschaen, founder of Story Builders, for an honest look at what makes a story truly impactful.Bill's approach is all about clarity and service. He urges aspiring speakers and authors to ask what the one thing they want their audiences to remember. If they're unsure about that, their message probably needs fine-tuning. Importantly, Bill reminds us that while your story is about you, it's meant for others. The value lies in helping your audience solve real problems or see themselves in your journey.Grant and Bill also unpack practical tips and frameworks for how to test if your story is more than a personal anecdote, why defining your audience is crucial, and how to avoid overwhelm from too many tempting opportunities. If you've struggled with self-doubt or aren't sure where to start, this episode is a pep talk and a toolkit rolled into one.

Teri did something a little strange for money... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Introducing the C3 Experience” released on October 14th, 2021. I had just given our family cleaning company a major brand change from the solo residential business to a commercial cleaning company with a team. Our family had “A New Freedom Vision” to live in Florida for the full month of February 2022. The company model would have to change. Over the next 8 months, we poured ourselves into this company to create the C3 Experience.We wanted to attract new customers and employees to our company core values of Excellence, Ownership, and Safety. We wanted to grow through these core values to accomplish our mission statement to our community. “1,000 smiling faces every Monday morning in the professional, financial, and medical office spaces we clean in the Indian Valley.”We wanted to serve our Lord Jesus through the company vision he gave us. “C3 is a Ten-Talent Company (Matthew 25:14-30).”​The company had to completely transform. Those 8 months were so difficult, but we achieved our goal and enjoyed a full month on the Gulf Coast of Florida in February 2022. It was a trip of lifetime for our family of 7. They will never forget, nor will Teresa and I. We were so grateful.For the next 12 months, I poured myself into the community and serving my local chamber however I could. I joined the Membership Committee and called on other members to survey them. I participated in the chamber's 5 year strategy meetings. I attended multiple networking events and even spoke at a few. We were rewarded with new customers. Our reputation grew and high-caliber employees were finding us.2023 was a breakthrough year! We loved Florida so much in February 2022 that we hit the goal to do it again in February 2023. C3 was selected for the Cornerstone Award for Small Business of the Year in our chamber in March 2023. Our reputation grew more. More importantly, we really felt like we were making an impact in our community and living out our mission, vision, and values.I joined a coaching group with other growing commercial cleaners in April 2024 and started implementing better systems in 2024. This allowed C3 to take on our first two 5-night per week clients. This was a huge step. C3 was now serving every night of the week. We updated our mission statement in early 2025. “5,000 smiling faces every morning in the professional, financial, and medical office spaces we clean in the Indian Valley.”A few weeks ago, C3 reached a significant milestone. On July 25th, 2025, C3 celebrated 20 years in business. It's hard to believe that 20 years ago, Teresa went to our county clerk to open Carfagno Cleaning so she could clean apartments part-time. It's been an incredible journey. We've poured ourselves out in this company through sacrifice, commitment, and excellence. It has not been easy. Most days didn't go as we had hoped. Nevertheless, we kept our faith in what God was doing through us. We remained patient when other well-wishers around us told us to quit. We invested time and money into a business that looked like a loser.Yet, here we are. I am thrilled to announce that our family has decided to celebrate this 20-year anniversary in a big way. We are knocking one more bucket list trip off the list. The Carfagnos are traveling through 11 states in a month from the Dakotas westward with a focus on Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. This is the trip of a lifetime. The kids are so excited. Our team is excited for us. Friends in my chamber are cheering us on.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

“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 News With Courtney: Greg's new side gig? // Karen Read's lawyer Alan Jackson joins to talk upcoming civil trial //

I purposely re-released “Excellence Vs. Perfection” last week. Many solo cleaners struggle with perfectionism. They are under a belief that ‘good enough' is when the perfectionist is finally happy… and they are never happy. Over-cleaning is problematic for multiple reasons. It costs the solo cleaner time and money because they are at each house or office a lot longer. It also dissolves trust with the customer because they don't want you in their house for 6 hours!Do you know what customers want? It's pretty simple. They want their house or office cleaned well. They want to be happy when they come home or enter their office. They want to get the cleaning at a great value. This is where excellence comes in. The solo cleaner needs to shift their mindset to ‘good enough' is when the customer is happy. Trust me. It takes a lot less to make the customer happy than a perfectionist solo cleaner.​There is a balance. The solo cleaner does need to have a way to measure their quality and relate that measurement to customer happiness. In C3, that measurement is a quality score of 8.0 out of 10.0. Excellence is anything over an 8.0. Perfection is 10.0. If the cleaner doesn't have this measurement system, they may not clean well enough and the customer is not happy. That is also problematic. There is a balance between Excellence and Perfection. I'm not a solo cleaner anymore. We have a team of 10 solo cleaners at C3. I am having a blast finding and training great people to clean at the company. I have a problem though. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to following the rules. It's in my personality type. Therefore, I struggle with employees failing a quality inspection or not following company protocols or not being responsive or a customer late on payment. It strikes my ‘that's not fair' gene.  My gut in each of these cases is to act and penalize the employee, acting swiftly to follow the protocol.That approach does not work! My coach, Josh Melton, has taught me that we need to be relationship-first with team members and customers. He doesn't jump to conclusions. Maybe the customer is having issues with the parent company or the computer system crashed and they can't make payment yet. Maybe the team member is dealing with something in their health or family and they didn't have the time to follow the protocol. Maybe they couldn't concentrate on hitting the required quality level. There are all kinds of maybe's. Josh taught me to be patient with people. Assume the best and give them a chance to explain themself before you execute a verdict!Recently, I had an interesting scenario play out. I found a high-quality prospect in my hiring pipeline and offered her a job. Then I waited. She seemed to have a lot going on in her life and I wasn't impressed with her responsiveness. I was patient like Josh taught me, prodding her along from step to step of the onboarding process. Here was the problem though. I needed to fill that position for the benefit of the company by a certain date. I also need to know that every C3 hire is responsive. This candidate was not checking the boxes.Ultimately, I decided to be bold and direct. I was kind. “Responsiveness is vital to your success and our success at C3. You are not as responsive as other new team members we've had success with in the past. It doesn't seem to us that you truly want this job.” She replied and confirmed my suspicion. Her life was too busy and this second job was a bit too ambitious. She thanked me for being honest and turned down the job. I was able to move on to the next candidate and fill the position in a more prudent manner.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

Last week, we talked about side gigs—smart ways to earn extra income outside your day job. One of the options we touched on was affiliate marketing, a tried-and-true method still relevant today. But here's another strategy I've personally dabbled in: building websites designed to generate leads. These sites are created with specific search terms in mind—mine were focused on cosmetic surgery—but the model can be applied to nearly any industry. Once your site is ranking on Google and generating traffic, you rent out that digital space to businesses who want the leads. I had a friend who made millions using this model with smartlipo.com back in the day. It was like owning valuable digital real estate. But that was then. The landscape has shifted. With the rise of tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, fewer people are relying on traditional search engines. So the question is: Is this still a viable side hustle in 2025? And if it is, how does it work now—and how can you get started? That's exactly what we're diving into on this week's Wealth Formula Podcast.

This week, I got to chat with my friend Liz Dekofsky. She lives in LA, works full-time in a customer-facing job, and runs the coolest little side business curating thrifted style bundles.If you've ever walked into a thrift store and felt totally overwhelmed or just didn't have the energy to dig through the racks, Liz gets it. That's why she does the hunting for you, and her eye for finding great pieces is seriously next-level.But this episode goes deeper than just clothes.Liz recently got sober, and it's been a huge turning point in her life. That decision gave her the clarity and confidence to stop hiding parts of herself and start doing more of what lights her up. We talk about what it's like to balance a side hustle with a full-time job, how she deals with imposter syndrome (hint: it's still there, but she doesn't let it run the show), and how she's learning to show up more fully as herself.If you've been sitting on an idea, waiting for the perfect moment, or thinking you need to be “fully ready” before you start something, this episode is your permission slip to just go for it.Starting messy is still starting. And Liz is proof that small steps can lead to big, beautiful changes.Let's get into it.Connect with Liz & buy a bundleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/curatedbylizd Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

“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.

 Perfectionism is a big problem in the cleaning industry. It took me over 15 minutes to say it in the podcast. It's really not that complex. Perfection is working hard to make YOU as happy as possible and you may never get there. Excellence is working hard to make THE CUSTOMER as happy as possible and you absolutely can get there.How do you know if you've made them as happy as possible? You ask them how you've done. I consult with cleaning company owners all over the country and so many struggle with perfectionism. It cost them time, which equals money and profit. I believe that Perfectionism and Excellence are on opposite sides of the same spectrum. You've got to work to the best that you can. but doing it with excellence is different than doing it with perfection. Your customer will feel the difference and so will your bank account! 

"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.

There are too many overwhelmed, overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated solo cleaners. They want more than showing up to clean every day. They want to get traction with their businesses. Optimizing accomplishes this.You want more margin, more choices, more balance, and more freedom in your life. Why else would you be running your own business in the first place? Optimizing accomplishes this.I share a third straight Solo Elite clip in this episode. The first two addressed these two points I just made. This one is meant to build the dream and show you that freedom has many levels. You can and will get to each level if you set goals, stay in accountability, follow the ISO Model System, and persevere to completion.We've personally done this. That's why I can teach it. It's also why we are taking our next freedom family trip in a few weeks. I'll tell you all about that in the next episode.​Are you interested in private coaching with me?

“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.

We are getting closer to the end of season 1 of the Smart Cleaning School Podcast. We are in the middle of a series on the 3 S's, which stands for Stay, Scale, or Sell and represent FREEDOM for the solo cleaner. In the last episode, I shared a clip from a Solo Elite Membership Call from late 2024 focusing on creating margin.Margin is vital. We need margin to make more choices. We need more choices to have more balance and freedom. This episode shares another clip from Solo Elite. This one shows you what to do once you've created margin. You optimize!​Optimizing gives you the balance you want. There are 3 steps to optimizing.Get Faster at Cleaning - As you implement the Optimizer Tools of the ISO Model, you get faster at each house or office. This allows you clean more in less time.Charge More Over Time - As you clean longer and develop your systems, trust, and expertise, you will increase the perceived value of your “product”. Charge more over time.Increase Profitability of the Business - You especially need to know your numbers for this one. Print out your Profit & Loss (P&L) and study it. Solo cleaners range in profitability from 60-95%. Optimizers are over 85%. In the next episode, I'll pull it all together with the big picture roadmap from an overwhelmed solo to an optimized one.

“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.

In this episode, I share a short clip of a Public Service Announcement I made last November in the Solo Elite Membership. It's a PSA for all struggling, overwhelmed solo cleaners. First, let me say a few things.You are the one that overscheduled yourself by never saying ‘No'. Take ownership of that.​You are the one that priced as little as you did. Take ownership of that.You are the one that didn't know your numbers and acted without any strategy. Take ownership of that.Great, you took ownership. It's time to give you hope and show you how to optimize your solo company and earn freedom. This first message is about creating time margin first. That is vital.No margin equals no choice. Margin means choices. In the next episode, I'll share another clip of the 3 steps to optimizing. Enjoy. 

I have an announcement to make. This is episode 493 of the Smart Cleaning School Podcast. I will be ending season 1 at episode 500. Why? What does that mean? All these questions will be answered in these final 8 episodes, where I'm focusing you on the end of the solo optimization rainbow. It's called the 3 S's.That's the series that season 1 will end with. What do you do when you get to the top as a solo cleaner? In the past 2 episodes, I've discussed the 3 S's or Stay, Scale, or Sell and when a solo should scale. I've talked about this a lot throughout this podcast.This episode is different. I want you to trust who you've been listening to. You should only follow coaches who have DONE what they TEACH. I have. You should only listen to those that have the fruit on the tree that you want. I do. I'm qualified to teach you because I've done what I teach.​In this episode, I share a short clip of a monologue I had on a late 2024 Solo Elite Membership Call where I share my successes as we approach 20 years in business. I hope you enjoy it. 

“When you are speaking and you're in front of people and you give them the momentum to look at life from a different perspective or do something they don't have the courage to do, you could help change people's lives.”Podcasts are full of powerhouse moments, but few stories capture the grit, honesty, and resolve it takes to truly make an impact the way Stacey Chillemi's does. On this episode of The Speaker Lab, Stacey sits down with Grant Baldwin and peels back the curtain on her journey—from overcoming epilepsy and setbacks in the corporate world to building a thriving career as a speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host.Stacey talks openly about the uphill climb, the self-doubt, the setbacks, and the reality that success is never an overnight story. For Stacey, building a speaking business meant reaching out to anyone who would listen, stubbornly persevering through rejection, and finding conviction in her own lived experience—even when the path forward felt unclear.This episode is a masterclass in resilient action. Stacey lays it out straight that your story is enough, but confidence comes from doing the work consistently. She reminds us that fulfillment isn't about chasing perfection but about putting yourself out there, showing up with empathy, and taking the first step, even when you're not sure what comes next. If you're someone waiting for the “right time” to chase your dream or if you need a nudge to believe your story matters, let Stacey's hard-won wisdom and relentless optimism show you what's possible when you bet on yourself!You'll learn:The unrealistic expectation of overnight successHow Stacey helps others by sharing her storyHow difficulties impacted Stacey's career pathThe power speaking has on creating emotional impactAdvice for when your story doesn't feel “big enough”Challenges of narrowing broad experiences into a focused messageThe value of cold outreachAnd much, much more!“I had self doubt and I had to work on building confidence in myself, and anytime I saw that I made some mistakes, I had to tweak it, and fix it, and just keep moving forward.”Episode ResourcesStacey'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.

“When you understand going into [speaking] that it's going to suck for a while, it's going to take longer than you think and it's going to be harder than you think. When you know those things up front, when you meet them, you can anticipate it.”Stepping onto the stage as a speaker is about more than nailing your performance—it's about persistence, honesty, and the courage to start before you feel ready. On this week's The Speaker Lab episode, Chase Livingston opens up about his journey from theater hopeful to youth motivational speaker, sharing the hard truth: real progress takes both time and tenacity.Chase doesn't shy away from discussing the realities of building a speaking career, sharing candidly about the slow start, the necessary unpaid gigs, and the doubts that come with venturing into this path. He highlights the importance of steady action—sending countless emails, making connections, and learning when to charge for his expertise.His message is clear: Know the cost, be ready to persevere, and lead with authenticity. If you're waiting until everything is perfect before you step forward, Chase's story proves that consistent action is what moves you from dreaming to doing.

In this episode of "Cocoon Conversations," host Jenny Dempsey gets real about the emotional rollercoaster of juggling her career and furniture-flipping side hustle. She spills on burnout, imposter syndrome, and the chaos of pricing her art (“Am I worth it?!”). Jenny shares her messy, vulnerable moments—singing to her furniture, doubting herself, and still showing up. She reminds us that spirals aren't failures, but part of the process, and that confidence is more like a flickering patio light than a spotlight. It's raw, relatable, and a little unhinged—in the best way. Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

I am excited to share this clip from the Solo Elite Membership! A few weeks ago, I ran my first Zoom call for the members to meet each other, dive into a topic, and ask questions. It was a great call. Afterwards, I pondered the idea of sharing a portion of the call with my podcast audience.It's a 16 minute clip from a 90 minute call, where I shared my journey openly on scaling with employees. Many ask me when can I hire and scale. I firmly believe that you need time and money margin to properly scale a cleaning company. You can do this right away if you have time and money. Or you can do it the way I teach. Here you go! Enjoy!​You can optimize your solo cleaning business to earn full time income through part time cleaning without the drama of employees!

“I got to the point where if I was going to [be a speaker] I have to be serious about it and I'm going to have to invest in myself. I had to get to the ‘I'm worth it' mindset, and The Speaker Lab [helped me with that].”Making an impact as a speaker isn't just about your time on stage—it's about the courage to own your story and use it to help others. This week, teen resilience speaker, Kimberly Clark, shares her powerful journey from addiction and trauma to inspiring change in the lives of young people. What sets Kimberly apart isn't just her willingness to be real and raw—it's her focus on turning pain into practical solutions for the teens she serves.

People aren't just looking for a story—they want help navigating their own challenges.Kimberly gets honest about the hurdles every speaker faces, from self-doubt to the emotions that come with pricing your expertise.

The summer is finally here! This is both literal and figurative. We just celebrated Memorial Day as the weather is heating up. Just like the 4 seasons of nature, my business is entering a new season. After selling my 1st solo business in 2018, we moved to our hometown and stayed indoors. I tried everything in my power to build my coaching and consulting business in 2018 and early 2019. I stayed indoors as much as possible as I didn't want to clean. This was winter. Ultimately, I needed to get outside again and start planting seeds. I started this podcast and my aggressive networking plan in late 2019. This was the start of Spring. By the beginning of 2021, our new business was cranking and I was able to work on my consulting business again. My cleaning business was optimized and it was comfortable outside. Spring was coming to an end. But with anything, being comfortable is not a good place to be. I needed to get my hunger back and stretch myself. I need to put on my shorts, get outside and enjoy the weather. A New Freedom Vision was placed in my heart and we needed to enjoy this summer in the winter by spending a month in Florida in February. This would require me to scale my business beyond the comfort of Spring into the dog days of Summer. This will pay off because Fall represents the harvest of all seeds sown in the Spring. I am so excited to reach that season and earn my family's financial freedom! Now that you've got the seasonal perspective of my new Philly cleaning business, I'd like to announce a segment change to the podcast. I've been sharing weekly updates on my Carfagno Cleaning business since inception in October 2019. However, I've been adding more and more value-packed influencer interviews and snippets from expert calls within my paid groups, that I don't have the space to continue them. For this Summer season of Carfagno Cleaning, I will shift from weekly to monthly updates on my cleaning business. I will not share every detail as I have been. I will share relevant wins, struggles, and lessons that I feel will best support your own business growth.

“The hardest thing about building a community is making sure that you've tapped into a transition that people have and are navigating so that they actually want to build relationships with each other.”As a speaker, building your authority goes beyond what you say on stage, it's all about how you connect with your audience afterward.

Let's continue the Control Series! My first episode was "You Must Let Go of Your Control", where I shared a few major breakthroughs in my recent ability to let go and trust others. It was an important therapy session. I continued this recently with another breakthrough about your business is not you and viewing trust and control like a rope. Check out part 2 of the series called "The Trust Rope". This is the 3rd part that goes the complete opposite direction! Are you ready?I shared a Facebook post in early January that got a lot of comments and it wasn't because I did a good job. It was because I did a bad job and owned it. One of our largest customers dropped us. They accounted for 10% of our monthly revenue. It was painful. Their reason for dropping us was quality. Apparently, one of their bathrooms developed an orange film on the sink and our company left it there for weeks. There are so many angles I could take this. I could tell you about the onion principle, but I'll save that for another time. Instead, I want to take their reason at face value. They cancelled service because we didn't meet the quality specifications they required.In the first 2 episodes of this series, I honed in on breaking the control and perfectionism I had over me for years. It didn't bother me when I was a solo cleaner, but it reared its ugly head when we tried to grow a team. I had to change and I did! I gave some rope and then some more and then some more. I was checking the quality of each of our locations each month to maintain quality and keep our customers happy. But something happened that is scary. I got careless and allowed some buildings to go unchecked for more than a month because I had other things  I had to do. Somehow, I pulled a total one-eighty going from an obsessive need to check every building every time to not checking at all. This wasn't true for all of our buildings, but it was for this one. After getting fired, I realized that it had been 3 months since I inspected the quality. 3 months! I could have seen the orange film if I simply would have done 1 measly inspection. 45 minutes of my time could have prevented the loss of 10% of our income. This was a tough pill to swallow. I gave away all of the rope and it cost me.Let's talk about two words. Quality and control.  Quality is simply the level of performance or service that meets spec. It's not perfect, but it does meet expectations. That's quality. Control is the process or system of maintaining something. Put these two words together and you get a vital component of running a successful cleaning company. Quality control is the active feedback loop that maintains the expectations of the customer and keeps them happy. I used to be obsessive on QC, ensuring 100% compliance to every detail, every time. This was unscalable. In late 2022, I went to the other side where I nearly stopped all forms of QC, which is a slow death to any company. Here's the simple lesson. Don't operate on the extremes. Define quality in your organization. Train it. Inspect it. Maintain and work to exceed it. This will give you the balance to keep your rope light, burden-free, so your cleaning business can grow.I offer free coaching calls to listeners of this podcast.

“If you impact one leader and that leader shows up better, then that leader engages better with his or her team. And then if that's a good experience and it's consistent, then those teammates do the same for their team. And all of a sudden you're cascading down.”One of the best things about being a speaker? You get to write your own story—and Daniel Harkavy's is proof that the path isn't always smooth, but it's definitely worth it. In this episode, Daniel opens up about his rocky first speaking gig, however instead of quitting, he uses that failure as fuel. As a result, speaking became the key to growing his coaching business—not just for applause, but to make real connections and lasting impact.Daniel reminds us that success on stage isn't about being perfect, it's about leaning into your strengths, learning from the mess-ups, and using your unique voice to serve others. Speaking doesn't have to be your end game—sometimes it's the launchpad for something even bigger. His big takeaway is to embrace what makes you different, seek out opportunities to serve, and don't let imposter syndrome hold you back. There's no single way to build a speaking business—so create one that excites you while opening doors for others, too.You'll learn:Overcoming imposter syndrome in speakingThe role of speaking in business growthSpeaking as a lead generation toolBalancing speaking and coachingHow to determine the “right audience”Scaling a coaching/speaking businessModernizing speaking business structuresAnd much, much more!“Build a life plan and then a schedule that enables you to flourish and rejuvenate so that when you go out on the road, you are the best version of yourself.”Episode ResourcesDaniel'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.

This week started with content batching. Batching is an optimizer's tool for ultra productivity. Every month, I create blogs, podcasts, and videos for Carfagno Cleaning and Solo Cleaning School. It takes a ton of time to do each week. I used batching in my cleaning business and in other areas of business over the years. When Teresa's mom was available to watch the kids overnight, we jumped on the opportunity and grabbed a hotel for the night. I got so much done as I batched blog after blog after blog. We also enjoyed time together, so it was a win-win. The following day, I rented an office from my MCBA friend Vernessa Hopkins. Vernessa owns H3 Business Services in Harleysville, PA. The office was perfect and I was able to record all of my podcasts for the upcoming month. My batching goal was to invest a few days and dollars to complete all of my content for a month. I accomplished that! Please keep this in mind. The portion of my batching that related to my solo cleaning business was a small part, so it may not be necessary for you to batch your content. However, you may start sending out newsletters a few times per month, maintain your website, and repurpose content to Facebook and Google My Business. Batching would be a great idea for you at that point.I've been tracking each of my offices from Saturday to Saturday, so I know how long they are taking. Plus, I've made changes to get faster. Over the weekend, I had a difficult email to send. One of these office cleaning clients took me longer because of paint speckles and glitter on the floor as well as increased kitchen areas. I knew I'd have to say something or scope creep would get me! [Before continuing, check out the bonus video, "How do I Deal with Scope Creep" on the Solo Cleaning School YouTube Channel. You'll learn how easy it is for your clients to unintentionally take advantage of you.]When the scope of work increases over time, it causes our cleaning times to increase. The great majority of cleaning companies will NOT raise the price as the scope changes so slowly they don't notice it. Not me! I recognized the potential Scope Creep setting in and knew I would have to send a difficult email. I used the sandwich technique with praise and gratitude in the open and close of the email. In the center, I laid out the areas where the scope has increased. Then I shared how this affects my company. "I clean five offices every Saturday right now. I'm in the process of adding more as well. So when one office starts taking me longer, it ends up costing me money. I'm sure you understand!" Then, I offered possible solutions which either forced them to take ownership and have the staff do more end-of-day cleaning or I would submit a new proposal with higher prices for the increased scope. I was nervous about the outcome as it was surely possible to lose the client, but I had to do this. It's my business and I must run it like one! Fortunately, they responded with consideration and we worked through the solutions together. Ultimately, they decided to take ownership for one portion. The other part, where they've added more kitchen appliances, we decided to alternate half-and-half each week. They gave a little and I didn't raise my prices. It also raised my image of trust and professionalism.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

“The goal is to become reassuringly expensive to some extent because what you're able to charge as a speaker is directly correlated to the insurance policy that you can provide for that event.”One of the best parts about being a speaker is that you get to decide what your speaking career looks like. Your story is unique—and only you can deliver the kind of value your audience needs. This week, Clint Pulver joins the show to remind us that success on stage is about more than a great keynote. Clint's become an in-demand speaker by leaning into what makes him truly different—combining research, storytelling, and full-on showmanship to create real experiences for his audiences.From hauling drum kits in a rental car as a young speaker to now orchestrating jaw-dropping interactive moments, Clint proves that your wild ideas are often your most valuable assets. He encourages speakers to go beyond the standard and design memorable experiences—think Broadway-level performance, not just another lecture. The big lesson? Embrace everything that makes you, you.Whether it's drumming, magic, humor, or a signature story, don't be afraid to bring it to the stage. There's no single path to a successful speaking career, so create one that fits your strengths and passions. Ready to take the next step? Let Clint's story encourage you to get creative and build a speaking business on your terms.

I've broken a lot over 15 years, but it's all relative. I have two mindsets to discuss before I share my cleaning misdeeds.Your auto insurance company keeps actuarial tables and knows exactly how much an accident costs on average. These numbers are taken into account when you get and pay your annual insurance premium. In fact, it is designed to be a win-win. If you get into an accident or not, the insurance company still makes money. They win. Plus, your accident or claim is covered so you don't have to pay out of pocket. If you cost the insurance company too much money, they will raise your premium to ensure they make a profit and you can still be covered. Insurance is a product. We insure many things. One of those things is our business against general liability and bodily harm. Your business insurance company has the same actuarial tables and business model. I personally pay $550 per year in general liability and yes, I've had to use it once. The first mindset to take is this. You need insurance because things WILL break or get damaged!I'm a former General Electric mechanical engineer and Six Sigma Green Belt. Six Sigma is a design system to minimize defects to 6 per million opportunities. It's an extremely difficult high bar in engineering design to achieve, that's why companies like GE and Motorola in the 90's and 2000's thrived. As a cleaner, I touch 500 things in each house or office. Over my 15 years, I've cleaned an average of 250 houses and 250 offices or 500 cleans per year. If you multiply the this out, I've created 3,750,000 opportunities to break or damage something. I call this a defect. Over this same 15 year mark, I have 75 defects. Continue the math and you'll conclude that my defect rate is 20 per million opportunities. 5 sigma is 233 defects per million opportunities. I've been cleaning for 15 years right on the cusp of 6 Sigma. In fact, I am literally a 6 Sigma Green Belt in my defect rate over the past 5 years as most of my 75 defects happened in the first 10 years. Therefore, my rate of damage or defect is as good as GE designs the airplane engines you fly with!Side note: If you're struggling with breaking or damaging things, first evaluate your defect rate. Feel free to assume 500 opportunities per house or office. Secondly, if your defect rate is over 50 per year, you need to make changes in how you clean. A few simple system changes and routine can fix it.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

“What does it feel like to be a customer of your business? How are you treating your customers? How are you making them want to not just come back, but tell their friends?”Brittany Hodak's story reminds us that a truly fulfilling speaking career comes from real clarity and intentionality, not chasing every gig or opportunity that comes along. She didn't set out to become a speaker—her journey began with launching a marketing agency for some of music's biggest names, which eventually led to media attention, a Shark Tank appearance, and eventually speaking invitations. Only after saying yes a few times did Brittany realize the demand—and value—for her insights on creating “superfans” through customer experience.However, Brittany's growth wasn't from one big break. It stemmed from consistently refining her message, learning to say no (even to well-paid opportunities), and protecting her priorities—especially bedtime routines with her two young kids. Instead of chasing every opportunity, Brittany focused relentlessly on her message: helping organizations build loyal customers. By sticking to her lane, turning down distractions, and showing up with real, tested insights, she's built a thriving speaking business on her own terms. What can we learn from Brittany? Success isn't about being everywhere or everything. It's about knowing who you serve, being consistent, and building your work around what matters most!You'll learn:Balancing a speaking career and family lifeFocusing on customer experience and creating superfansDetermining the right number of speaking engagementsEvolving your speaking niche and messagingDeveloping signature keynotes and customizationUsing humor and engagement in presentationsProductizing knowledgeAnd much, much more!“You have to stay on one path if you want to be known for that.”Episode ResourcesBrittany'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.

“One thing that will make you better suited towards being able to deal with that is if you have a resilient mindset to know that whatever you're going through, what is the lesson I'm going to get out of it and how is it going to make me better? Where is the positive growth going to come from here?”Tiran Jackson's story is a masterclass in turning heartbreak into hope and challenge into fuel. If you think a speaking career is about big breaks or spotlight moments, Tiran is living proof that the real work happens in the trenches of adversity. What began as a thriving engineering career was turned upside down by a tragic accident that took his wife's life and left Tiran fighting for his own. In the aftermath, he didn't set out to be a speaker, but the realization that his journey through loss, resilience, and rebuilding could help others, sparked something new.For months, Tiran focused on tiny, consistent steps: showing up for grueling physical therapy, supporting his son through grief, and speaking at small gatherings, but each moment, and every bit of hard-won progress, mattered. His breakthrough wasn't about having the “best” story, but about building the discipline to show up, refine his message, and deeply serve his audience.Today, Tiran speaks to leadership teams, NFL athletes, and faith communities on resilience and using adversity for growth. His business didn't happen overnight—it grew as he learned to share his story with intention, listen to the needs of his audience, and put in the work of outreach and relationship-building. The lesson? Success as a speaker isn't about being the loudest or most dramatic voice—it's about being willing to show up, be real, adapt, and encourage others no matter how tough it gets.You'll learn:Using adversity for growthResilience in challenging situationsThe role of a strong support systemGrowing confidence and recognition of potentialThe importance of process, audience outreach, and message refinementCustomizing talks for various audiencesThe value of building long-term relationshipsKnowing one's valueThe realities of building a businessAnd much, much more!“If you're not good at something, the best thing you can do is have a process for improvement.”Episode ResourcesTiran'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.
