“If something scares you, you should probably do it."

Grant sits down with Dave Allred to talk about how speaking can help you expand your comfort zone, create opportunities, and unlock potential in your life to achieve your goals. If you have thought about using speaking as a means to magnify and expand the impact of your legacy, this episode is for you.

“My primary goal, Grant, when I get on stage, I always try to ask myself this question over and over as I'm preparing as well as when I walk on the stage, is just how can I create maximum value for the audience? That's where I found the best success, man, because you're really focusing on how you can create and serve the audience, and it's always going to come back full circle to you."

In this episode Grant and Dave cover:

Dave’s story and how he got into speaking
How to stay top of mind and build a reputation as a speaker
Practical tips for bridging the gap between relationship building and pitching
What it looks like to bet on yourself and achieve big goals
How to get started when something is new and/or intimidating
And more!

“My advice would be, is to just dive in headfirst and again, take every single speaking opportunity that you can, even if it's for free, even if you have to pay for the flight or the hotel and whatnot, just go and do it.”
