Comunicate With Confidence With Luke Maxwell

I'm all about brutal honesty and personal growth. And the best way to combine those two is to ask the people who know me best how they visualize me. Part of me was very happy with the results because they reflected what I see in myself, but some surprised me. This episode is where I dive into the sometimes painful part of personal branding and see what we can all learn from it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support

You might make the assumption that because I'm a public speaker I must be extroverted. Right? But you couldn't be more wrong.

Oh boy. This is a big one. Every day, college is becoming more and more debated whether it's worth the time, stress, and money.

In this episode, I break down my take on the pros and cons of each route. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support

I've given certain friends an ultimatum. If I ever begin needlessly complaining, they have every right to smack me across the face. Thankfully, they've never had cause to act upon my request. I know you want to move forward. I know you want to find success in some way or another. And you know what? Nothing is going to happen until you drop your complaining and excuses and you start taking action. Stop asking someone to do something and instead be that someone. I think you might be able to tell that this is something I'm intensely passionate about. So here's some tough love for you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support

Whether you want to grow as a public speaker or something else, videos have become almost necessary to building a personal brand. But if you're like me, I was kept back from making videos because I was obsessed that the quality wasn't right, that it was too late to become known on YouTube, or the million other excuses I gave myself. I overcame these excuses though and simplified the video creation process so anyone with a phone and determination can do it.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support

Today, I'm finally sharing something that I've used for my entire professional career. I started speaking when I was just 17 years old, and so everyone immediately saw me as just a kid and not an expert in my field. And at 21 now, that still happens almost everywhere I go. So in this episode, I'm breaking down how I've "proven myself" and gained respect from older people with more experience and knowledge than me. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support

When I'm selling a product or service, the first thing I do is think about what else can I sell along with it. Because when you're running a business, you need every single dollar you can make, especially when you're just starting out. Elon Musk is a great example of this. You might have seen the Tesla surfboard that was just released...and sold out immediately. The same thing happened with the "Not-a-Flamethrower". Not only did this garner a HUGE amount of media attention, but I wouldn't doubt they made a profit as well. So, don't be content with just selling one thing. See what else your ideal customer would be likely to buy and use those add-ons to grow your business. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lukemaxwell/support
