My delivery was impeccable. And the whole time, my hands were pressed together in a little triangle at my chin, over and over, like the villain in Austin Powers. I only found out because I finally watched the tape.

In this episode of Speak Goodr, I break down the difference between the footage you make for you and the footage you make for them. Most speakers have it backwards. Meeting professionals rarely watch the long demo reel, the worst video I ever sent still got me booked, and the fix that cost me the most taught me to send context with every video.

In this episode

• Why you need to watch your own game tape, and what mine revealed
• The footage you make for you vs. the footage you make for them
• Why nobody watches the long demo reel, and how long your lead-in video should be
• The worst video I ever sent, and why it still got me booked
• Why you should send context with every video

Not perfect, just a little Goodr.

I'm a Diamond Medallion and a Million Miler. But on one bad travel day, none of that mattered. I was just a guy with a phone that wouldn't connect, staring at a line that wasn't moving.

In this episode of Speak Goodr, I give you three answers on travel loyalty for speakers who live on the road, and only one of them is a clean yes. Airline loyalty, hotel loyalty and rental car loyalty, what status actually costs, and the steps I'd take to get where you need to be on time.

In this episode

• Airline loyalty: why it's worth it, and the cancellations it has rescued me from
• Hotel loyalty: only sometimes, especially when the event's room block decides for you
• Rental car loyalty: not right now
• What status really costs, and the spend where it starts to pay off
• Six practical steps, including the public delay data almost nobody checks before booking a flight

Not perfect, just a little Goodr.

I avoided rereading my own book for seven years. Opening it again changed how I think about all the books that never come out.

In this episode of Speak Goodr, I share what I found when I finally reread Cracking the Millennial Code, a book with "Millennial" in the title that, by every rule, should have aged into the ground. The label got old. The framework didn't. A book is a key, and before you write another word, you need to know which door it's meant to open.

In this episode

• Why I avoided my own book for seven years, and what I found when I reread it
• A book is a key: what your book should actually unlock for your speaking business
• Five questions to answer before you write chapter one
• Why a book built to open every door tends to open none of them
• Why "whenever I'm done" isn't a release date
