Travis Crutcher is back. THIS time we’re talking about Professional SPEAKING. More specifically… we’re digging into 6 things we wish we’d known earlier… when it comes to getting paid to speak… and being a professional speaker.

If you’re a Dream Think Doer… there is a VERY good chance… you’ve got a message the world needs to hear!  Because you’re taking time out of your week… to listen to stories and strategies that help you to dream bigger… think better… and do more.  You’re investing in yourself.  And my guess is… you also want to see OTHERS dream bigger… think better and do more!

That means… you’ve got a message to share.  You’ve got stories and strategies in you that need to get out… because they can help other people!  So let’s get you some specific strategies to help make that happen!

INFO ABOUT MITCH’S NEXT-LEVEL SPEAKER LIVE 2022!

Click here: www.mitchmatthews.com/nextlevelspeaker to find out more about this LIVE 3-day event with Mitch.  If you’ve got a message in you the world needs to hear… if you’ve got a heart for speaking and it’s time to get paid for that message… if you want to make a positive impact on the world and you know it’s time to take it to the “Next Level” then join us!

MORE ABOUT THE EPISODE:

Now… some of you have NO interest in being a PAID professional speaker… because… maybe… you don’t really like public speaking.  Heck… that’s understandable… because studies show that more people are afraid of public speaking then they are of dying!  So yeah… if you bristle at the thought of being a speaker… let alone a PAID speaker… you’re not alone.

BUT… what if?

What if you could get over that fear… and you could step in front of a group of people… and bless their socks off?  What if… the words you shared shifted people’s lives?  What if… something you said inspired someone to make a change they’ve wanted to make or live more of the life they were meant to live?  What if?

I think everyone can learn strategies to overcome fear… and then speak more effectively… and even have fun with it!

But I also believe that some of you should get paid well to do that too!

And THAT might be closer at hand than you might think!

Heck… we’ve got a lot of listeners that are paid speakers… and if that’s you… WELL DONE!

BUT with today’s episode… I wanted to get to brass tacks and give you even more to help you take your ideas and your abilities to speak to the next level… and… if you chose… to help you get PAID well as a speaker!

To do that… I’ve enlisted my friend Travis Crutcher!

I’m betting you remember Travis from episode 344… AND 352. 

Travis is a Success Coach and Speaker who helps dynamic people get clarity, increase impact, and live a life they love!  Now… he also has a podcast called the Above Average Podcast… which he hosts with his amazing bride Jess… and they’ve gotten their show into the top 1% of all podcasts in a very short time!  He’s a Retired Army Ranger and he spent some time in the corporate space as an executive too. 

A few years ago… Travis joined Acceleration… my mastermind for coaches and speakers… and he launched his dream business and now he’s killing it!  And a big part of that is being a PAID speaker… and he’s getting paid well to speak to audiences and make a big impact!

By the way… he’s such a leader… and his business is growing like crazy… so he’s now helping me to run Acceleration and I’m loving it!

With this episode… we’re diving into speaking and specifically 6 things we wish we’d known earlier when it comes to speaking and being PAID to be a speaker.  And we’re going to talk about heart stuff… mental stuff… business strategy and life strategy and I think you’re going to dig it!  

Especially if you’re wanting to make an impact on the world in some small or big way… and potentially get paid well to do it!  

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:

How about YOU!?  What stood out to you from this conversation?

Also, let me know if you have questions (big or small) about being a speaker!  I want to hear from you!!!

And PLEASE share this very fun/powerful episode with someone who YOU think would appreciate it and/or might be needing it… right now!  They’ll thank you!

Know I’m rooting for you!

LISA EVEN is joining us!  She describes herself as a corporate-world junkie… turned entrepreneur. Lisa offers one-on-one coaching, keynote speaking and workshops… with the goal of helping individuals and organizations to have good ripple effect!

She grew up in a small town in Iowa… and she credits a lot of her success to the things she learned schlepping tables at a little cafe… and she said she didn’t even know how some of THOSE things prepped her to lead large teams in the corporate space… 

In full disclosure… she’s a coaching client of mine and we’ve been working together over this past year.  I tell you this because THAT has given me a front row seat to the awesome things she’s been up to and how she LIVES her brand… by creating a good ripple effect everywhere she goes!  Two more fun facts… Lisa has a monthly joy calendar and she’s on a mission to meet 1 million people.

Howard Berger and Marshal Julius are with us!  You probably remember Howard from episodes 74 and 284. He’s the co-founder of the KNB EFX Group AND he’s an academy award and emmy award winning special effects artist.  It’s hard to do this guy justice… because he’s been involved with over 800 feature films and television shows. He’s worked with some of the biggest names in show business.

He and his business partner Greg Nicotero are responsible for allllll of the zombies in the Walking Dead. He’s done All of Quentin Tarantino’s movies. 

He’s Mark Wahlberg’s go-to guy for special effects.  He and his team did the Chronicles of Narnia… for which they won the Academy Award for Best Make Up. He got another academy nomination for his work on HITCHCOCK.  And just about every horror movie that’s scared the crap out of you over the past 20 to 30 years… there’s a VERY good chance Howard had something to do with it.  And just try to wrap your mind around this… for ONE tv show… The Orville… they have created over 1000 designs…  that’s just ONE show!!!

Now… let’s talk about Marshall Julius.  I’d classify him as a modern day renaissance man!  He’s an author… he’s an artist.  By the way… his art has been purchased and shared around the world. He kills it on the Twitters and most importantly… he’s made an impressive career and business out of being a professional fan and self-proclaimed nerd.  Now THAT’s the best… when you can make a career out of something you love!

Okay… so we’re talking today… because these two long-time friends have teamed up to write one of the most anticipated and fascinating books written for film fans and geeks… called, Masters of Make-Up Effects: A Century of Practical Magic.  It’s already a #1 new release and it doesn’t come out until next month!!!

We’re going to be talking about the book… and some of the great stories that they remembered and uncovered as they wrote it.  I can’t wait for this… so let’s get to it!

Wm. Paul Young is back!  And I’m so excited for this first “Friends of Dream Think Do” episode! We’re throwing out the clock… as we dive into important subjects and topics I’m curious with friends who have perspectives I think you’ll appreciate!

And Paul… did not disappoint!  Wow!  We talk about everything from what’s the difference between happiness and joy… but more importantly… how Paul walks in a true sense of joy… almost constantly. We talk about family relationships and the importance of grace (and some specific “how-tos” to achieve it more often).  Plus, we dive into some of YOUR questions!

Everything from “What’s something that you wish you’d done differently with the Shack (the 24M+ bestseller)?” to… “How did you craft the Trinity as you were writing the book?” to… “What’s next?” to… “How do you handle criticism?” and SOOOO much more.  I think you’re going to love it!  So let’s get to it!

MORE ON THE EPISODE:

When William Paul Young turned 50, his wife Kim asked him to write down some notes about his outlook on God, life, love and grace.  It was supposed to be for their kids.  

He obliged.  (He did it while on a train as he commuted to his 3 different jobs.)  But those “notes” turned into a book that became the international bestseller, ‘The Shack.’

This week, I talk with Paul about his experiences with writing the book (and his 3 other bestsellers).  But more importantly… we talk about his outlook on grace, love, the pressures of life, God, facing criticism and controversy… and we even talk about what he’s working on next.

Plus… we answer a number of YOUR questions!
