EP 12: Kids Are Making Five Grand a Month Washing Cars. What's Your Excuse?

How did the challenge go for you guys?

Yeah, so I've seen more than I normally see of you this week.

We've had multiple sessions together both yesterday and the day before.

But yeah, this week we ran our first ever speaker summit.

So basically the intention... of that was to introduce people who were in the entrepreneur space, you know, within the Rethink Academy that have considered speaking as an opportunity to make some kind of a living or certainly add to their current living.

And the way we did it was we divided it up into different topics we um spend three six maybe i did a couple of sessions talking about what i call the um cpring um your business by by using speaking where c is uh credibility p is learning how to pitch and r is about how to get reach and then we um had Raymond Aron, New York Times bestselling author, who at 80 years of age is still a speaker.

And he was explaining how he's been doing it for, I think, 40 years plus.

And, you know, the impact that it's had on his life.

And he shared lots over the few days, which was amazing.

So we were talking about that.

He looked like a career speaker.

And we also talked about podcasting and how podcasting is a new platform.

to allow anybody to find a voice.

You know, for me, podcasting isn't about the ability to speak.

It's actually more about The ability to find your voice.

What do you actually have to say? What do you actually believe about stuff? Knowing that it's going to be recorded and there forevermore.

So you kind of, you think about what you're saying.

And even if you change it after you've said it, you acknowledge it and say, you know what, I actually don't believe that anymore.

So they're very different things, but they're all different ways of monetizing the same thing, that ability to speak.

It was funny when my six-year-old came in and she said, I don't need to learn how to speak.

I can already speak.

She thought it was kind of crazy that you even need to have a summit speaking about how to speak.

But yeah, it was really good.

We had, I think we... 400 registered, which is really low for us.

But at the same time, it's very specific.
