Thinking about getting paid to speakm but not sure where to start? Or sick of being told to “just speak for exposure”?

In this episode, I chat with Jenn Espinosa-Goswami about the power of paid public speaking and we’re not talking about pinkwashed pitch-fests or $20K upsell funnels.

We break down:

  • What actually counts as public speaking (spoiler: not paying for a 10-minute slot on someone else’s stage).

  • Red flags to look for before you say yes to a “free opportunity.”

  • How to pitch yourself (without being a schmuck).

  • Why consistency + clarity will land you more gigs.

  • What happens after the mic drops.

Plus: I share my own experience as a speaker, host, and podcast gatekeeper, including what makes me say YES and what gets ghosted.

Thinking about speaking in your business?
Already fallen for a skeezy “visibility” funnel?
Want to speak but not sure where to start?

This one’s for you.
