    Frank,

    1) How do you have such an awesome name?

    2) On a more serious note, how did you get your foot in the door with speaking engagements? Did you find that early on it had a lot to do with knowing the right people, and putting in the work to make the right connections? Or were you invited to speak without asking?

      1) I have my dad's name! It's all his fault!

      2) I wrote and wrote. Then, I got a few invitations to speak. People presume if you can present ideas in writing, you can do the same verbally. Words are words!
