Great use of my time. Oh, and by the way, we had some yuck yucks along the way versus either standing up there and do a song and dance and you're funny guy or funny girl and there's nothing of substance to it or vice versa. You're up there because of your title, because of the logo that you're associated with, maybe the amount of letters in front of your name and you're boring as all get out.

You know, you may as well have just sent me the PowerPoint or whatever the equivalent is. So I think, you know, the performance that edutainment is so key to speakers today. You can't be, like I said, one or the other. I think you got to have elements of both.

Well, I started saying yes to everything. I mean, anybody who asked me to speak, I mean, at the beginning, I probably was only known in hospitality. And again, because of the hard rock name and the fact that I traveled, probably got my foot in the door in a lot of places.

But I knew that somebody in the back of the room, like I said, was working for, I don't know, John Deere tractors, and they asked you to come out and speak. And then next, it's the Refrigeration Association. then it's the Funeral Directors Association of North America. Next thing you know, you're in all kinds of places.

And then eventually, although I was hunting and looking for engagements, a lot of them were sort of falling in my lap because the word had gotten out there in other industries. But I think it was really when I started to spend more time with Speaker Bureau. So I'm I'm exclusive with the Speaker Bureau right now. And I don't have to do a tremendous amount of work.

I'm still doing 35 to 40 engagements a year. And I get an email every week or every other week that just says, firm offer. Here's the engagement. Here's where you need to be. Here's the money. Here's the topic that they picked. And that's only because we've spent enough time together and their agents know exactly what we're looking for.
