In this episode, I explore the revolutionary potential of AI in the speaking world, where AI video avatars and virtual presenters can allow you to be in two places at once.
While these technologies offer unprecedented scalability by cloning your voice, gestures, and expressions, they also pose significant risks, including brand dilution, legal issues, and loss of audience connection.
Learn how to leverage AI smartly—using it for repetitive tasks, language barriers, and micro-content—while maintaining transparency and preserving the human touch essential for impactful speaking.

Most people still create content in silos. A speech here, an article there, maybe a video if they have time. But what if you flipped that around and built AI-first content system where every idea that you share on stage automatically becomes a cheat sheet.
You can give away an article for your website, a video that you can put up on YouTube, and even a micro course. There are so many options available to you, and they're all connected, and all consistent.
In this episode, I'm gonna break down an AI-first content strategy, and I'm gonna take you through how to move from taking your speech, turning into cheat sheets, articles, videos, micro courses, all in one clean workflow. You'll see how to use AI to keep your tone, your message, and your energy aligned across every platform.
I'll show you how to turn one strong idea, your speech, into a full ecosystem of content that drives leads, builds your authority ongoing, and sells your expertise long after you've stopped talking.

You get to decide the ticket prices, how much you want to spend on the event, and even how big or small you want the whole thing to be. This means you've got a lot of room to work out how to make the most money, whether that's from ticket sales, getting some sponsors on board, or even selling some cool merchandise. Plus, you get to call the shots on what the event is all about. You can choose topics you're really into, craft the content to play to your strengths, and shape the whole experience to reflect your own style.

In this episode, we're going to look at why hero makers earn more money.
Some people look at the speaker on stage and think, "Gosh, I wish I could do what they do. It seems so powerful being able to stand in front of a huge audience and have them making notes on everything you say, then clapping at the end. That must feel amazing?"
Well, yes it does, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.

In this episode, we're gonna look at why without leverage, you're doomed to fail. When building a speaking business, if there's one thing I've learned in my 25 plus years of online and offline business, it's that you must be always looking for the leverage in any opportunity. Now, some people refer to this as scalability. But in essence, it's that ability to serve more people without having to do all the work yourself.

In this episode, we're going to discuss websites, one sheets, business cards... what do you ACTUALLY need?
Over the years, I've completed a couple of different speaking courses to help me grow my business and they all taught me different things but they can also be confusing so this episode, I'm going to look at what I've found that you really need to get your speaking business growing in today's world. You might have discovered something different but let's see where we align?
In this episode, we're going to discuss why education from stage is the key to growing your business without the hard sell when you speak for free or low fee!
In my experience, the best way to grow a big business without having to sell, sell, sell, is to educate. You don't need to be teacher, you just need to want to share some easy to apply, useful ideas and tips with the people in your audience. You've got to honestly want them to succeed.
In this episode, we're gonna discuss why finding speaking opportunities is easy when you speak for free or low fee.
One of the biggest things that I hear from speakers when they're talking about opportunities that they've missed is that they didn't have the budget for me, or they offered $1,500 and we just couldn't make it work, et cetera.
Now, most professional speakers have rates that they charge, and in the market I'm in, there's just not as many opportunities to get those rates, especially after Covid. It limits your opportunities and only certain audiences can afford to see you. And from my perspective, that's not what I want.
When you speak for a low fee or for free, it opens a floodgate of opportunities for you to get on stage.
In this episode, we're going to look at before, during and after you speak and how everything you do affects the growth of your income.
If you've ever been to any courses about speaking, you'll already know about all the processes regarding what you need to do to work with a speaker booker, the chats you'll need to have to learn about your audience and ways that you can make their life easier.
This episode is NOT about that! This is the stuff on top of that that you need to do to make money.
In this episode, we're going to look at "Where's the money if you speak for free or low fee?' In speaking, the key thing is to think about is where the money is. When I speak in a room like that, I see those as future potential clients or connections to future potential clients, or alternatively I can sell my services or products to the audience. It all depends on the room.
Why speak for free or low fee? I love Zig Ziglar and Zig Ziglar said, "You can have everything in this life you want. If you're just help another enough other people get what they want."
Speaking for free allows us to actually help a lot more people than if we speak and we're get paid top dollar. In this episode, we're going to cover a few reasons for that and why it is extremely profitable to not charge or speak for a low fee.
