But this one, for whatever reason, it just kind of struck me.

It was one of the first ones I discovered when I was researching and I had no idea about the business.

Okay, so I was with the speaker bureau since 2018.

Nothing.

Crickets, right?

Then the pandemic hits.

Everything disappeared.

The speaking business for a while just completely shut down.

There were so many layoffs in the speaking business.

It was awful.

And then slowly things started coming back in 2021 and a lot of virtual speaking was going on.

Right.

But still nothing like how it had been.

So during these times, I just was.

primarily landing speaking business because of my social media, right?

People would reach out to me on LinkedIn, the place where business gets done.

If you are not active on LinkedIn, get active.

Whether you're B2B or B2C, that is the place to be.

Pull business towards you so you don't always have to chase after it.

So the majority of my business was coming from my LinkedIn feed and I was getting booked a lot and booked with amazing companies, Amazon, Google, you know, so many crazy, huge companies and starting to enjoy some success.
