Rock Stars are People too!

When was the last time you met a rock star? No, I mean a real live, guitar-playing, million-album selling, rock star?

REO Speedwagon lead singer Kevin Cronin made an appearance at the National Speakers Association convention last week, and I had the good fortune to meet him. I was coming back into the hotel just after midnight. Kevin had been out also getting some Chinese food. I recognized him from his remarks on stage earlier in the day and took the opportunity to say hello.

He was very gracious, and polite, and allowed us to take a couple of photos. We rode up in the elevator together and had a chance to visit.

Regular guy. He just happens to play rock and roll music for a living.

My brand as a professional speaker is the Black Belt Speaker. From my own background, I equate excellence with having a Black Belt in the martial arts. This guy is definitely a Black Belt musician!
