In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how to actually monetize your speaking — whether you’re on a big stage or sharing your story at a local event. You’ll hear the real strategy behind what makes a talk lead to income, why your title matters more than you think, and how to turn every opportunity into momentum for your brand or business. If you've been asking, “How do I turn my message into something that moves people — and moves the needle?”... this is your episode.

  • The biggest mistake people make when trying to get booked
  • How your talk title can open doors (or keep them closed)
  • A mindset shift about free speaking gigs that most people miss
  • The subtle strategy that turns your story into sales — without being salesy
