But a lot of times what I have found is that there's a certain amount of people who've always dreamed of doing it, but maybe just didn't have the opportunity or they didn't believe they could do it, didn't know how they could get started. And now with Facebook Live and YouTube videos and virtual meetings, there's just so many ways that you can get out there. It's more accessible than it was maybe in the 80s or the 90s or even the early 2000s. Now anyone can do it.” — Leisa Reid00:32 - 00:50 Welcome to Peppershock Media’s Marketing Expedition Podcast00:51 - 02:09 Leisa’s Bio02:10 - 18:55 Marketing Essentials Moment: Social Media Listening Tools18:56 - 21:39 Welcome to the show, Leisa!21:40 - 22:45 Benefits of becoming a speaker22:46 - 24:53 Overcoming speaking fears24:54 - 32:23 Speaking gig pipeline creation32:24 - 34:08 Finding speaking opportunities effectively34:09 - 35:00 How do you know if your business is keeping up with all the tools, tips, and trends that will keep your marketing on the cutting edge?
