On this episode, Michael takes on one of the biggest questions that most aspiring speakers grapple with early in their careers: “What if what I’ve done in the past isn’t good enough to get me speaking gigs now?” The answer?

Change can be hard. That’s just human. But as visionary speakers, we need to think differently about the fear that comes with change. Because change is what drives our evolution. Change and our intentional choices about what comes next. Which is why we’re kicking off this new season of the podcast with Judson Laipply. Judson is a professional speaker and the world’s first YouTube star. His Evolution of Dance video was the first video ever to hit one hundred million views. As a speaker, Judson helps audiences understand the difference between change and evolution. We wanted to know how he thinks about embracing the struggles that come with evolution. And how he answers a recurring question for all of us: What now? For episode resources and transcripts, visit https://stealtheshow.com/podcast…
