Ep. 116 Leveraging Your Book as a Speaker (ft. Geo Derice)

Have you ever wondered what difference a book could make for you when it comes to public speaking? I traveled the country speaking for over a decade before I published my book, Shattered. Rather than spending today's episode telling you about my experience with publishing a book, I've brought in an expert to help you get started. In this episode, Geo Derice is sharing what being a published author can do for your speaking strategy and how to make the most of it to increase your impact and income.  If you loved this episode and it motivated you to add speaking to your business, please take the time to leave me some positive feedback on iTunes. I'd also love to hear about your biggest takeaway.
