As I close Inspiring Speakers and this Skool group, I just want to say a final huge thank you to everyone who has been part of it. I’ve honestly been blown away by the support and kind words so many of you have shared with me. It means a lot, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything we’ve learned, shared, and experienced together. I also want to mention that Jerry and Sandi have decided to start their own group, Speakers Corner, and I strongly encourage everyone here to join them and continue the journey together: https://www.skool.com/speakers-corner/about From everything I know of those two, it will be an amazing group, so don't forget to join it. In fact, do it now! To every speaker in this group: keep going, keep putting yourself out there, keep developing your message, and keep sharing what you have to offer. Your voice matters, and there are people who need to hear your story. Thank you again for everything. I’m truly grateful to have been part of this community and to have shared this journey with all of you. Wishing you all continued success, Drew Inspiring Speakers

Hi folks, After a lot of reflection, I have made the difficult decision to close the Inspiring Speakers Bureau Skool community, and the entire business itself actually. This has been an incredible journey, and I can honestly say that the connections created here have been one of the greatest highlights of my 19 years working with Inspiring Speakers Bureau. The relationships, conversations, and discussions we have shared have been truly authentic and powerful. The level of insight, support, encouragement, and collaboration within this community has been unlike anything I have experienced. It has been an honour to be part of these conversations and to witness so many talented speakers working toward their goals and growing their businesses. Unfortunately, the business is no longer profitable, and I need to shift my focus toward other areas of my business life and other business pursuits to ensure I can continue building a sustainable and successful future. Closing this chapter is bittersweet, but I feel it is the right decision and the right time. It was also meaningful to be able to close this business chapter during the final year of my father's life. He enjoyed seeing the incredible discussions, connections, and value being created within this community, and it brought him a lot of pride and happiness. Now that he has passed, it feels like the appropriate time to bring this journey to a close. I want to sincerely thank every single person who contributed, participated, shared their knowledge, asked questions, and helped make this community what it became. Your involvement and your willingness to support one another made this a very special place. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have connected with so many amazing people over our time together here. I wish each and every one of you continued growth, success, and fulfillment in your speaking businesses and your future endeavors. Keep sharing your message, keep making an impact, and keep pursuing the opportunities that matter most to you.
