74: Make the Mic Your Business: Emcee Secrets with Quinn Conyers

If you’re still hoping to get picked instead of building a speaking business that books itself, this episode will flip everything you thought you knew about the mic.

In this episode, we dive into what it really means to be an audience activator. Jacqueline chats with go-to pro emcee Quinn Conyers who redefines the entire event flow, shapes energy, builds rapport, and sets the tone from minute one to closing clap.

Quinn has successfully turned the mic into a business model. She unpacks how “luxury language” helped her get booked at premium rates, how to stop selling twice (and start attracting the right clients), and what it takes to turn being good on stage into being unforgettable across the entire event experience. 

If you’re an aspiring speaker who hasn’t considered the emcee path, or even a business owner stuck pitching the same old way, let this be your wake-up call. The mic is more than a tool . It’s a business. And Quinn is giving you the playbook.
