If you’re tired of interviews with celebs who’ve peaked in their industry, then you’ll love my talk with professional motivational speaker Rodney C. Burris, a top global speaker who’s still climbing that hill.
Rodney is an active and eager participant in my Ready Set Go Speak! program, and his business is growing as he continues to grow through the information, inspiration, and challenges that I put in front of his cohort.
In this episode, he talks about how he met the recent challenge to become a podcast guest, including his stellar email pitch and the mindset behind his words – he got the gig, too!
