Listen in as we discuss how Aaron grew his course to in-person gatherings of up to 500 people in just four years. You’ll get an inside look into how Aaron runs his events and what he looks for when it comes to keeping his audience engaged and inspired.

In this episode, we want to introduce you to the name behind the trophy. Ashley is an entrepreneur, speaker, mother of six, and is passionate about helping women worldwide experience life with love and abundance.

Welcome back to Inside The Greenroom! Today we are celebrating our 100th episode so we decided to do something a little bit different; instead of stepping Inside The Greenroom, we invite you to step inside the audience of our LIVE 2021 Speak-off!

If you've listened to any of the past 99 episodes, there's a good chance you may have heard us mention the speak-off once or twice. This is the most believed and talked about part every year after our annual event! We wanted to share it with you today because we believe it truly encapsulates everything we do here at Advance Your Reach and Inside The Greenroom. Hundreds of contestants from all over the world compete to land a top 10 spot; when you hit play, you'll hear our top ten finalists battle it out for a top spot. 

Listen in on the action from start to finish and glean the practical tips, advice, and strategies that will benefit your own platform. You'll hear how the speak-off started, real-time advice and tips from the top meeting planners in the world, how to add value in 3 minutes or less, and even how YOU can be next year's champion!

We hope that you put your headphones in, take a little extra time and immerse yourself into the magic of an AYR Event.
