    How Finding Your Niche Will Unlock Your Growth with Amy Pechacek

    "I did not see this being a full time gig at the time. I just thought I was going to be speaking, like, at churches or something, right? So I thought I was speaking at women events, women's conferences and things like that while doing my nine to five, maybe on the weekends."

No fluff here-actionable intel

Putting out great content each week takes great effort. As a co-podcaster, I’m always fascinated listening to other shows to see what works well. As a student in the Speaker Lab, I’m fascinated with the added benefit of the podcast/fully complements what we learn inside the course. Highly recommend both!
Thank you!🎙️Jen~The Empowered Stepmom Podcast

First Time Ever Leaving a Podcast Review!

I have never submitted a podcast review on my own like this, but I SO appreciated the episode with Erick Rheam that I knew I had to leave a raving review! Erick gave immense value in the show and was so generous with his advice. The questions posed to him were so helpful and I appreciated how candid both the interviewer and interviewee were. As a speaker taking off, I really appreciated Erick’s story and advice. It was rock solid! I will definitely be implementing some of his strategies for two upcoming keynotes. It was invaluable to me! Thanks for coming on the show Erick and thanks to the entire Speaker Lab team for creating THE best speaker content out there specific to speakers. I listen and learn all the time. I’ll be a long time listener. Thank you!!

This episode is so packed with gems! I recently launched my journey as a speaker with @thespeakerlab. Dr. Wright dropped so many nuggets - purpose, motivation, time management, mentorship, etc., etc. I will be listening to this episode repeatedly as I continue my journey!
