How to get booked for speaking gigs (especially if you have a bestselling book to leverage!)

Such great advice dished by Joon!

ABOUT JOON (from his LinkedIn profile):

From being deported from the USA at age 10 and making my way back - I've learned quite a few profound things about success in life and business. These insights fuel my mission to directly serve at least 10,000 entrepreneurial leaders a year to grow from being merely busy to very effective.

All of my companies are focused to that end and it's no secret that I have a ginormous soft spot for bright social entrepreneurs, changemakers and social innovators*; so I accelerate as many as I can as advisor, mentor and investor.
> Our strategy and process engineering firm only takes on two new clients per year and word on the street is that I'm the "consultant other consultants hire" to boost their own businesses.
> As a podcast pioneer (first Asian-American in podcasting) I advise many in the industry as an analyst and we're building new podcast networks as we speak... also produce a sundry of marvelous podcasts along the way.
> After hitting the stage as a professional speaker at 16 years old (yikes!) - I keynote around the globe in my quest to inspire, equip and challenge entrepreneurs to be better for a better world.
> Most importantly - if you're a decent, well-meaning person striving to win in the mean, cutthroat world of business - then by all means dig into everything related to my TEDx talk and book "Get Ahead by Giving Back!"

*Despite all of the above, most of my time is spent being the lead parent for our family and holding it down here in City Heights (a global capital for refugee resettlement located in San Diego, CA).

I love the magicianship of Penn & Teller™ and my biggest pet peeves are when people say, “could care less” instead of “couldn’t” and when someone speaks on leadership when they’ve never led anything in their life.
