Make Money the Old-Fashioned Way:  
Laughing All the Way to the Bank
 
Judy Carter discovered at an early age that the messes in her life were great comedic material. Judy’s message of using humor as a transformational tool led to her being featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and CNN, as well as being a frequent contributor to NPR’s “All Things Considered” and a weekly blogger for Psychology Today.  In this inspiring, hilarious, and often irreverent session, Judy, the author of “The Comedy Bible” and “The Message of You,” will take you on an amazing journey – into yourself. She will prove that even if you feel like an “ordinary” person you actually have an extraordinary story to share – a story only you can tell. A story that can inspire others, ignite your career, and help you better connect with all the audiences of your life.

Darren LaCroix, a Toastmasters’ World Champion of Speaking, will teach you how to create multiple streams of income to build your business. Currently 70% of LaCroix's income is derived from product sales even though he does NOT sound like an infomercial while on stage.
You’ll discover Darren’s 12 Marketing Musts, his two “They don’ts,” and the one “They want to.” His ideas will change how you think about product and how it should be an integral part of any professional speaker’s business model. And he’ll show how to do it by next week.

In the words of our own Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE, and Hall of Fame speaker:“Judy Carter holds the record for the funniest line I’ve ever heard at an NSA Convention. She and Darren LaCroix are two of the most creative and generous professional speakers I know. They genuinely enjoy giving back to our community. You owe it to yourself to be there on September 19.”

Live interview via Skype with Podcaster David Ralph
