Transcript:

This is the secret I use to increase my public speaking fee per hour from 5000 to 8000 - 15000. And that's how I did it. I started a daily short-form video like exactly this one, and produced it in a way that keeps it alive. Which means I produce a daily video, which is a daily podcast, which then goes into a daily platform, which is my hub, my personal website.

And inside this personal website, there are links to all the different videos and everything that I did over the last couple of hundred days. And that means that people can explore how I talk and how I speak. And because people are seeing these videos, I was able to get more speaking gigs and through getting more speaking gigs, I was able to get hired

paid speaking gigs. It's incredible. And you can do so too.
