Ever dreamed of that iconic red circle moment but thought TEDx speaking was reserved for the ultra-famous? Communication expert and TEDx speaker Shannon Malkin Daniels and I are here to shatter that myth! Known as a "communication nerd" and total "mic-dropper," Shannon reveals the insider secrets of landing your first TEDx talk – and why this platform is pure gold for building your author authority. We'll explore Shannon's step-by-step application strategy (spoiler: it's not about having connections!), why your "big idea" needs to fit the conference theme, and how one of her clients turned a TEDx talk into a million-view sensation.

Plus, Shannon shares her game-changing approach to speech preparation that ditches memorization for authentic storytelling – the same techniques that make compelling books! Whether you're an author looking to go from page to stage or someone with expertise ready to self-publish your way from stage to page, this conversation proves that TEDx speaking isn't just achievable – it's one of the most powerful ways to establish yourself as the go-to authority in your field.
