Divulge Into The Life Of The Magnetizing Public Speaker.

Alasdair Cunningham is an entrepreneur and public speaker based in London. He is the founder of “Six-figure Speaker”, a workshop that helps people become better communicators and expert speakers. He has helped over a hundred people through his coaching program. Alasdair is a proficient speaker and has even won the title of “Best New Speaker” for the year 2018.

An Imperfect Life

Alasdair had a penchant for business and started his first business at the age of 22. He tasted success early in life and continued to pursue this business for a decade. He tried his hand at multiple businesses, but when one of his businesses failed, he suffered from depression. Talking about the period, Alasdair said, “I felt worthless and unmotivated, and this led me into a state of depression and anxiety. It took me to the lowest of lows in my life. I managed to pull myself out of the depressive state and go on to build a successful business. I decided to share this experience on the stage as I wanted my life to serve as motivation for the world. I want to let people know that no matter where they are or where they have been, it does not dictate their future success.”

After recovering from depression, Alasdair started dealing in real estate and scaled it to six figures. Real estate also made him discover his passion for public speaking. The entrepreneur had to step in for a presentation as his team member was unavailable for the meeting. The event gave him such a rush that he was hooked onto public speaking.

Not The Conventional Public Speaker

The entrepreneur never had a conventional life, from starting a business at a young age to suffering depression in his early thirties, to building a business in real estate, to becoming a public speaker. Even as a public speaker, he does not stick to convention. Alasdair said, “I value honesty, integrity, high ethics, and this means that I am very direct & to the point as a speaker. I do not believe in exaggerating and manipulating things. I say what needs to be said and not necessarily what sounds right. There is no fluff coming from me.”

The man genuinely enjoys public speaking and has even made a six-figure earning through it. He has imparted his wisdom across the world through speaking events. Now he is helping people become better communicators and speakers as a coach. As of now, he has helped over hundred people through his coaching program, and some of his students are even earning well through public speaking.

The speaker has even written a book called “Six-figure speaker, Turning passion into profit”, a book wherein he teaches the ways to overcome fears and his learnings. The book is available for free on his website. You can also learn more about the man and his events through his official Instagram here.

SPOTLIGHT: Sweet vinyl by DREAMOUR

What happens when two immensely talented visionaries come together to create elegance and ingenuity in a sculptural glass fragranced candle? Dreamour. That is the long and short version of how Dreamour was created. Founded by Karissa Rowe and Neal Klotsman in late September 2022, Dreamour was founded with the goal of creating a luxury fragrance brand that operates at the intersection of functional art in the candle market space.

Rowe, a Parsons School of Design graduate, set out to fill the niche of integrating design in the candle marketplace. Unlike most candle vessels that are mass-produced, Dreamour’s founders desired to prioritize the artisanal craftsmanship of glass in their production processes of the sculptural glass designs. This resulted in a long timeline of sourcing the globe for talented glass artisans who could transform a sketch into a functional and sophisticated candle vessel. Each and every candle vessel is hand-blown, inherently resulting in a one-of-a-kind product and unique experience for the consumer. These functional fragrant candles also act as a piece of décor due to its sculptural and alluring appearance.

Sweet Vinyl, Dreamour’s first candle scent, fills the room with musky & leathery notes combined with earthy notes of vetiver and cypriol, topped with a citrus touch of bergamot and mandarin. The founders worked with master perfumers in Grasse, France, to create a scent that invoked notes of memorable moments, emphasizing high quality ingredients in the fragrances in a soy wax blend. This resulted in candles that consist of clean ingredients, a vegan formula, and is entirely cruelty-free.

It is the personification of the glass blowers’ spirit, the heart of Grasse imprisoned in a bottle, and the narrative of two visionaries that sets Dreamour at the top of the candle market pedestal. Dreamour embodies the sophistication and savior-faire French perfumery as a luxury brand, while being a NYC based brand. Dreamour is currently stocked at Patron of the New in New York, along with other major designer luxury known brands. Rowe and Klotsman are currently expanding their production lines and will drop new fragrances and designs in early 2023. Don’t expect anything ordinary with Dreamour, as they will continue to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace of home fragrances.
