So let's, let's dive into this because I mean, 2000 to produce 2000 events is not a small feat here. So, I mean, how'd you get into the business in the first place?
B (1:00)
I have been a professional speaker for four decades. This is a self admission. You know, most people lie about their age. I'll divulge mine. I'm 65. I've been at this a long time. And at some point, the natural evolution of a speaker is to then start. They get frustrated with their producer or agent and think, I can do better than they can and look at all the money they're making and I'm not making. So that's what cracks the ceiling. And then you start to go out on your own. I mean, hence the entrepreneurial spirit. I then started to produce on my own events and realized, oh boy, this takes a lot. Because if it's. If they weren't just about me, what I mean, events. I produce multi speaker events. For example, if I were to go into the small business space and I needed a sales expert, I would bring in someone like you. If I needed a Facebook ads expert, I would bring in someone like propeller head Bill and that person would cover that. Somebody else may cover organic advertising, somebody may cover publicity. And that was what I found was the most critical. And there might be, I might have these experts in their category, but A, they may not be able to speak very well, B, they may not be marketed properly, packaged correctly. And that's what spawned what I do today. Because if a speaker isn't packaged in a Tiffany box, they're gonna sell less. And I might not put as many butts and seats, which is the overall goal, because then it's just math. It's really all about math.
