Like me, Bari Baumgardner has a “behind the scenes” view of the speaking industry – not too much different from my background managing the back of room table as well as the internet marketing side of the speaking business.
This is an in-depth conversation where Bari and I compare notes, share “war stories”, and show you the speaking industry – including how to manage profitable virtual events – in a way you’ve never seen before.
Tune in now and get Bari Baumgardner’s thoughts on:
- Her speaking journey and what led her to get into public speaking in the first place
- Bari Baumgardner’s golden keys to success as a speaker both in the in person and virtual worlds
- A few mistakes she’s made and seen other speakers make along the way that she encourages aspiring, as well as active public speakers, to avoid
- What Bari is doing now, and where listeners should they go if they want to get into her world.
- And much, much more!
