Hey there — I’m Bob Baker.I spent the first 15 years of my life as a shy, insecure kid with a stutter. But since then, I’ve:

• Grown a YouTube channel to 410,000+ subscribers and 74M+ views
  
• Built a podcast audience of 50,000+ monthly downloads
  
• Published 16 books read by thousands around the world
  
• Built a combined social media following of 50,000+ and reach over 200,000 people a month with my voice, message, and music
  
• Dedicated my life to helping creators and entrepreneurs grow with clarity, consistency, and confidence

And, as a lifelong St. Louisan, I also:

• Teach and perform improv comedy, and co-wrote a book with Laura Hall from Whose Line Is It Anyway?
  
• Published Spotlight music magazine for a decade
  
• Played in local bands (Jewel, Paris, the A-Tones, Beat Patrol, and more)
  
• Served as president of the St. Louis Publishers Association
  
• Acted in and directed local theater productions
  
• Even did stand-up comedy using the name Royce Kelly
  

This isn’t just a sit-and-listen event.

Each meetup includes a short teaching segment where I’ll introduce a topic related to growing your audience, making an impact, or increasing your income.

From there, you’ll engage in breakout sessions, group sharing, and fun collaborative activities. You'll leave with fresh ideas, new connections, and a renewed sense of purpose.
