This week I sit down with Brian J. Olds, Founder and CEO of The Black Speakers Network as we chat about what the process of building a brand from the ground up TRULY looks like. It's far from easy, and anything but an overnight process. Building a strong brand takes time, struggle, and lots of hard work; but we must appreciate the valleys of the process just as much as we appreciate the peaks.

If you're currently a speaker or looking to get into the paid speaking business, Brian drops some tips and tactics you do NOT want to miss! And if you listen to the end, there's a special, limited-time offer I provide to listeners for FREE.

In part 2 of this episode we cover:

∙ Maslow's hierarchy of needs and reaching a point of self-actualization

∙ Identifying your real passion versus your face-value passion, and how to focus on each

∙ Surrounding yourself with people who don't let you make excuses

∙ …and so much more!

Leave a review and let us know what you think!
