Grant Baldwin was a broke Youth Pastor who didn’t know exactly what he wanted to do with his life, but knew he had a message to share. He was just an ordinary guy that wanted to create an extraordinary life. He was always drawn to speaking, so decided to make it a business. After extensive research, asking a bunch of questions, trial and error and getting out of his comfort zone, Grant has now earned over $2 million from 500+ speaking engagements around the world. Grant found his magic formula, or what he now calls, his 5 Step Speaker Success Roadmap, which he teaches to others through his business The Speaker Lab. He founded The Speaker Lab in 2015 to help provide the clarity, confidence and resources for people to get booked and paid to speak. The Speaker Lab has ranked amongst the top Inc. 5000 charts at No. 1900 for two years and his work has been featured in Forbes, Inc. Huffington Post, Entrepreneur and more. His courses and coaching have helped thousands of people to find their message and get paid to create a lasting impact in the world. He recently wrote a book called, “The Successful Speaker: 5 Steps for Booking Gigs, Getting Paid and Building Your Platform” and you can snag it for FREE in the show notes!
