    Big Announcement: The Final Chapter of Keynotes to Collectibles

    This may be my last podcast...about sports collectibles! As many of you know, at the beginning of this year, my family and I jumped off the cliff and purchased Ray's Sports Collection which included a storefront at Traders World and a warehouse full of collectibles. From the beginning, I knew this was a short-term focus until the speaking industry came back—but I didn't know just how short-term it would be until an amazing guy named Tim walked into our store. In this episode, I’m sharing the amazing story of how we sold Ray’s Sports Collection. You won’t want to miss this one.  Visit curtiszimmerman.com to learn more.

    Generosity is the Best Business Strategy - Keynotes to Collectibles

    When we jumped off the cliff and purchased Ray's Sports Collection, I didn't want to take the leap without knowing that we'd have enough margin to be generous. Yes, it's a business—but surprising and delighting customers by giving away the unexpected is our core value. So in this episode, I'm sharing some amazing stories of what generosity has led to in this venture, along with why I chose this over Zoom meetings during the pandemic. I'd be honored if you listened.

    When Is it Time to Say Goodbye to Your Collection? - Keynotes to Collectibles

    For many years, Ray's Sports Collection was just that—Ray's! Ray is a real guy who sold his incredible inventory of sports cards and collectibles to me, and in this episode, I honor him and his decision to sell his collection to me. If you're a collector yourself, you've probably had this passing thought: What happens to my collection when I'm gone? I'm also sharing stories of other collectors who made great plans for their collection, and ones who didn't, plus the one thing that will always be more important than your collection.

    What Living the Dream Means to Me Now - Keynotes to Collectibles

    We've had the same family van for over fifteen years. And yes, it's a little less shiny than it was 200,000 miles ago. (It got so bad at one point that our youngest son Oliver made us drop him off down the street from his friends' house.) But now, I've never been more grateful for that van—and it really exemplifies what I mean when I say I'm living the dream. Who would have thought? Listen in to hear what I mean!

    How I Made My Hobby an Entrepreneurial Venture - Keynotes to Collectibles

    In March of 2020, all of my keynote speaking jobs were canceled or indefinitely postponed. That meant that instead of traveling the country, I was in my basement. During that time, I had more time for one of my favorite hobbies: Sports Collectibles. I spent my weekends at garage sales and flea markets, creating displays for my favorite cards—and then, I was given the offer of a lifetime to buy one of the largest Sports Memorabilia collections in the world.   In this episode, I’m sharing what I did next, how you can turn your hobby into a new venture, and what to do with your collectibles.

    Getting Uncomfortable to Become Who You Want to Be - with Noe Rizo

    There is one thing that stands in between the person we are now and the person who we want to be: DISCOMFORT. Today’s episode is all about how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, find your “why” and achieve your dreams. My guest, Noe Rizo first saw my speech his freshman year of college at Western Michigan University. It made him realize he wanted to become a keynote speaker, and the mindset he has cultivated and the things he has achieved since then are nothing short of inspiring. I can’t wait for you to hear his story.   Check out Noe’s YouTube Channel, The Wolf Pack: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwDEyXgrA-J_MUGOjhKsr5Q   Follow Noe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewolfpacknr/?hl=en   Find Noe on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheWolfPackNR
