Today, we're thrilled to bring you an episode that's a goldmine for aspiring thought leaders and change-makers. Join us as we sit down with Raymond Aaron, a New York Times bestselling author, renowned speaker, and a beacon of wisdom in the realms of real estate, life coaching, and beyond. In this episode, "How To Earn Over 300k USD in 90 Minutes - with Raymond Aaron," we unravel the secrets to becoming a thought leader in today's dynamic landscape. From harnessing your passion to leveraging the latest in AI, Raymond shares invaluable insights that are bound to propel you to new heights. Let's embark on this journey of discovery and transformation.

Before we meet this legend, know that Raymond Aaron is both a pitchman and a showman. This is very far from being a keynote speaker because Raymond walks onstage unpaid and shares enough details about what he does and how he does it that people sign up to work with him before he leaves the stage 90 minutes later. I have personally seen him close ¾ of a room of business leaders who queued up to work with him at 2,000 USD each and they couldn’t pay him fast enough to reserve their spot. I have never seen anybody do this so well before or since then.

It takes a very special kind of speaker and we get to discover the man behind the method in this exclusive episode of Speak Onstage…
