Episode 93: YouTube and Speakers, Should You?

Jun 13, 2022

As a speaker, you may be wondering, “Do I need a YouTube channel?” I'll be honest; I've been pondering the same question myself. If you've felt curious about starting your own channel, keep listening!
 
Want to chat outside the podcast? Yes? Great! Then it's time to get on the email list by going to takethestagepodcast.com, scrolling to the bottom, and signing up.
 
“Only YOU can share your message because your story is your story. No one can take your story and make it their story. It won't work! They can try, but it won't work.” – Mary R. Snyder.
