EP.002: Faydra Koenig

April 4, 2016 Antwon Lincoln Speaker Interviews 0:42:540:00

FAYDRA2My interview with “America’s Crises Coach” Faydra was AWESOME and EXACTLY what aspiring speaker needed to hear! As a new podcaster  I want to make sure thatSpeakers On Speaking adds values to your speaking journey. So you can imagine the stress that I was experiencing as I thought about my first interview. So many questions… “How do I get a guest? What do I say? Will I make a fool out of myself?” Well there was nothing to stress over, because I had Faydra “America’s Crises Coach.” She had me feeling calm at “Hello!”

Faydra knew what I was going through. I make that bold claim for three reasons.

  1. She has her own podcast “Coming Out of the Fire.” A podcast where she interviews high-achievers who faced unimaginable obstacles and came out on top.
  2. She knows how to to help people though crises and last but not least…
  3. She IS a professional speaker, successfully earning a living as a speaker for over than 10 years.

EP.000: Antwon Lincoln

April 3, 2016 Antwon Lincoln Speaker Interviews 0:09:320:00 


After many days of interviewing, downloading plugins and being DISTRICTED by the latest shining thing that would push Speakers On Speaking launch date further from the official start date (Feb. 7), it is finally time to launch the show. Is it my best attempt? It could be better. But at some time one needs to just launch (Seth Godin help me with that revelation)!


This 10 minute short episode (EP.000) introduces Speaker On Speaking to you and gives some insights on how you can become active with the show. I invite you to listen, subscribe (iTunes or Stitchers) and share with others.


As for comments…


I always welcome comments for you the listener. Comments help me get better and provides direction to help the show get better. However, listen to a couple of shows first. Trust me I get better as the interviews progress.
