  • Episode #141: The 4 Cornerstones for Strategic Living with Brian Holmes
    I had the chance to meet Brian Holmes at a recent 3-day event put on by former guest Ray Edwards called Copywriting Academy Live. 
    I was immediately impressed with Brian for many reasons, not the least of which was his friendly and inviting demeanor, his quite confidence, and his better-than-average listening skills (I always notice a good listener). 

    Brian mentioned he had just completed a new book. As he began to describe its contents, I was immediately intrigued. Though it is very unusual for me to extend an invitation to be on the show to someone whose book I haven’t yet read, inviting Brian seemed like the obvious thing to do. I’m VERY glad I did.

    In The 4 Cornerstones for Strategic Living, Brian gives every person a proven system (a blueprint) for constructing the life they desire.

  • Episode #138: Public Speaker Secrets with Michael Hudson
    Today, my guest is someone who’s been on my radar for quite some time. 
    His name is Michael Hudson. I’ve never met him face-to-face, however, because of a number of mutual connections, we’re “friends” on Facebook. 
    Michael stood out to me in part because I saw him as someone who consistently contributed within my community. He’s was quick with a kind word or a helpful tip. He seemed to “spread good cheer” wherever he went.
    So, when he sent me a short note mentioning he had a new book out (I believe it was on LinkedIn), I paid attention. The fact the book has the words Public Speaker Secrets in the title didn’t hurt either.
    The full title of Michael’s new book is Public Speaker Secrets: 52 Proven Ways to Increase Your Impact Every Time You Speak! In it, he shares time-tested and proven lessons gleaned from over 30 years as a public speaker. If you’re looking to take your public speaking skills up a notch, click the play button below.

    The method he created to help you better connect with your audience
