Podcasts about get booked

If you want more speaking invitations, it's tempting to think the answer is more pitching, more social posts, and more cold outreach. But event organizers are receiving more speaker submissions than ever. Being one more qualified person in the pile isn't enough. You need parts of your talk that people can remember, describe, and refer.I call these Signature Stage Segments: intentionally crafted moments that bring together storytelling, humor, audience interaction, props or costumes, and quotable lines.They make the talk more engaging for the audience and give you the kind of video that actually shows an event organizer what you can do on stage.In this episode, I share examples from our clients and our own talks. You'll hear how a lion at a watering hole, a round of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” a game show, a medical mask, and a pair of human-versus-AI paddles all became memorable stage moments.And we'll talk about the part many speakers still hold back.In this episode, you'll learn:What a Signature Stage Segment is and why it helps you get booked and referredThe five elements that make stage moments memorableHow to use our I.D.E.A.L. Storytelling Ingredients to turn something that happened into an actual storyHow simple props can make an abstract idea visibleWhy quotable lines belong in both your talk and your speaker reelThe thing many speakers are afraid to bring to the stage and why it mattersAbout Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

You may know exactly what you speak about, but can a planner who has never met you understand it in seconds? Wendi explains why broad topics are difficult to evaluate, the four pieces planners need to see, and a five-second test that reveals whether your speaker message is as clear as you think it is. Show notes: Why broad topics name a category but not necessarily a fit The four things planners need to understand quickly How public content helps humans and AI tools interpret your expertise Why specificity does not trap you in one niche forever Where your central speaker message should appear The five-second speaker-page test A simple sentence for clarifying audience, problem, and outcome Explore both paths inside the Charli Jane Speakers Club at https://charlijane.com/charli-jane-speakers-club/.

“Constancy of purpose says we're in, we're locked, we're going until we get to a point where we have sufficient data or an understanding of what we're doing that we need to make a change.”Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this episode, Dan sits down with TSL alumnus Bill Englehaupt — founder of Auditology and a 30-plus-year veteran of financial services audit. Bill works with CPA firms and Fortune 500 internal audit teams to root out what he calls “the hidden factory”: the invisible, below-the-line work that quietly eats organizations alive.Bill's speaking business had been dormant for months. Then he submitted a proposal for a national conference in Las Vegas, got the nod, and walked into a breakout room with more than 200 people — his first talk back after a long dry spell. He's also an author twice over: his first book, Managing the Hell Out of Your Audit, became the springboard for Auditology, and his brand-new second book, The Productive Auditor, just hit Amazon. He didn't wait for anyone to hand him credibility. He stacked proof: one book, one webinar, one talk at a time.Whether you're trying to crack the chicken-and-egg problem of getting booked without a track record, wondering if writing a book is worth the time, or just trying to stay consistent when outreach feels like shouting into the void, this conversation is packed with real-world tactics from someone building it right now.You'll learn:What “the hidden factory” is and how Bill turned a 30-plus-year audit career into a speaking nicheHow he landed a 200-person breakout session at a national conference after months of his business being dormantWhy writing a book gave him “a platform to stand on” — and why you don't actually need one to get startedThe chicken-and-egg problem: what to do when event applications ask for experience you don't have yetHow webinars for continuing-education content providers became his lower-barrier proof engineHow to turn one strong talk into a demo reelDan's five-week contact strategy and why most responses come from email three, not email oneWhy Bill calls the book “an avoidance activity” — and how to catch yourself dodging the real workW. Edwards Deming's concept of “constancy of purpose” and what it means for speakers chasing shiny objectsThe 30-day win Bill is actually chasing — human-to-human contact, before any bookingAnd much, much more!“Well, for a speaker, it's just stick to your plan, right? I think that's the one main thing. You know, if you've got your power hour, get your power hour going. If you're, you know, having trouble getting your follow-ups going, stick to the plan.”Ready to stop guessing and start building your own proof-stacking plan?

Episode Title: The Speaker One-Sheet That Actually Gets You Booked Your speaker one-sheet shouldn't be a résumé squeezed onto one page. It has one job: help an event planner quickly understand who you are, what you speak about, and why you're worth a closer look. In this episode, I'm breaking down what makes a speaker one-sheet actually work and what to keep, what to cut, and how to make the right information stand out without overwhelming the person reading it. In This Episode: Why most speaker one-sheets are built for the speaker instead of the event planner The three things a planner needs to understand quickly Why more credentials don't always make a stronger one-sheet How curated credibility can be more powerful than listing everything you've ever done Why one clear call to action makes you easier to book A simple way to review your current one-sheet with fresh eyes Free Resource

Mike Verret last joined the show in 2021, back when it was still finding its way under a different name. He's back with a sharper, more focused message: the reason most pitches, whether for a speaking gig, a podcast guest slot, or a networking room, fall flat isn't the words. It's that the person pitching is thinking like a business when the person listening is thinking like a human.Mike spent fourteen years in advertising and agency work before six years on-site at Hasbro Toys, where his job flipped from "think like the audience" to "think like the business," and back again once they discovered he could actually talk to a room. That whiplash is where his framework comes from.In this episode, John and Mike cover why an "I help" statement is the fastest way to sound like everyone else on LinkedIn, how to turn an elevator pitch into an eight-floor conversation instead of a monologue, why the order you deliver information in matters more than the information itself, and why AI-written pitches are becoming easier, not harder, for audiences to spot. Mike also shares the Hasbro Monopoly Cheaters Edition story: a single audience insight and three slides that sold 500,000 units.If you've ever frozen up trying to explain what you do in under thirty seconds, or wondered why your polished LinkedIn "I help" line isn't landing bookings, this one's for you.Guest: Mike Verret, founder of Pitch Lab, former agency and Hasbro Toys communications director.Connect with Mike: linkedin.com/in/mike-verretPitch Lab (membership, founding rate $99/month for the first 30 members) connect with Mike on LinkedIn to find out more.Want to check out my chat with Mike from 5 or so years ago? https://player.captivate.fm/episode/5d6eb0be-87a4-427c-b568-7ff34507c7e5/ CHAPTERS00:00 Business vs Human Pitch00:35 Meet Mike Verret04:02 Hasbro Pitch Lessons06:27 Instant Audience Connection10:52 Set Expectations Fast12:23 Pitching Speaking Gigs14:43 Ditch the I Help17:11 Practice for Authenticity18:46 AI Voice Pitfalls24:51 Order Beats Content26:34 Taming the What Ifs28:46 Stop Catastrophizing29:30 Emotion Beats Logic30:03 Curiosity And Closure30:17 Rethinking Elevator Pitches31:42 Eight Floor Pitch Framework34:21 Benefits And Proof36:11 Fixing Bad Guest Pitches40:04 New Offers Pitch Lab43:53 Think Like A Human45:57 Monopoly Cheaters Edition48:18 How To Connect50:38 Wrap Up And Next EpisodesFAQ SectionWhy do most professional speakers' pitches sound the same? Most speakers pitch from a business mindset rather than a human one. They lead with credentials, services, or an "I help X achieve Y" statement, all of which are common phrasing patterns that blend into every other pitch an audience or booker has already heard.What's wrong with the "I help" statement in a LinkedIn bio or pitch? The "I help" opening, sometimes called StoryBrand Mad Libs, is one of the most common ways professionals open a pitch, which means it carries no differentiation. Using verbs like "I guide" or "I assist," or reframing the sentence around the audience's outcome rather than the speaker's service, creates more distinctiveness.Is the elevator pitch still relevant for professional speakers? Yes, but not as a scripted monologue. An effective elevator pitch is structured as a conversation with predictable stages: what you do, who you help, how you help them, the benefit to them, and proof it works. Each stage should prompt the listener to ask a follow-up question rather than switch off.Why do audiences disengage from AI-written pitches and bios? Audiences increasingly recognise AI-generated phrasing, including consistent cadence and punctuation patterns such as em dashes. Once a listener or reader identifies content as AI-written, their engagement and trust in it drops, even if the underlying information came from the person themselves.What causes stage fright before a pitch or presentation? Pre-presentation anxiety is often driven by catastrophic "what if" thinking: imagining unlikely negative outcomes before speaking. Naming this pattern and consciously redirecting attention toward likely positive audience responses reduces its grip.Why does the order of information matter in a pitch? A pitch organised in the order the speaker's business thinks in (services first, credentials first) rarely matches the order an audience needs to understand and retain it. Presenting connection, then problem, then process, then benefit, then proof follows how a listener processes new information, which increases retention.Are you a speaker who wants to be better known, more booked and paid what you're worth?

Episode 180: Become the Story You Believe   Have you ever noticed how the story you tell yourself quietly shapes the way you show up?   In this episode, I'm inviting you to take an honest look at the narratives you've been believing about yourself, your business, and your calling. Because the truth is, the stories we repeat become the beliefs we live from—and those beliefs determine the actions we take.   Whether you've been feeling behind, discouraged, or questioning if you're really qualified, I want to encourage you to let God become the Author of your story instead of fear, comparison, or past disappointment. Together, we'll also explore why storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to build a brand that creates connection, trust, and lasting impact.   In this episode, you'll discover: How the stories you tell yourself shape your identity and influence your decisions Why replacing false narratives with God's truth changes how you lead and show up The connection between faith, mindset, and building a Business Christian Self Help brand How God uses hidden seasons to produce lasting fruit instead of quick success Why storytelling is one of the most effective ways to build trust and grow your influence A simple challenge to help you rewrite your story from God's perspective this week   If you've been carrying a narrative that no longer aligns with who God says you are, I hope this episode gives you the courage to exchange fear for truth. Your circumstances may not change overnight, but your perspective can—and that has the power to change everything.   If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review.

Dominic Forth is a media strategist and the founder of Thought Leaders America, where he helps experts turn big ideas into authority that drives business growth. He trained at the BBC and worked across NBC, Fox, ABC stations and CBS affiliates in the US, which gave him a front row seat to how producers choose guests. In this conversation he breaks down why credentials get your pitch deleted, how original research creates a story instead of chasing one, and the calm, clarity, courage framework he built after nearly drowning on the Zambezi River. Key Discussion Themes: Why leading with credentials gets your pitch deleted, and what producers want instead Creating the news with original research, and the fifty, twenty-five, twenty-five split that makes a story Handling nerves on air, from the service-first reframe to menthol mints and rehearsing in the car The Zambezi River story and the calm, clarity, courage framework that came out of it The three reasons entrepreneurs stay invisible: clarity, coaching and distribution Listener Takeaway: Credentials do not get you booked. A story worth telling does, and the fastest way to build one is to ask your market a question nobody has asked yet. Then get your reps in until you can tell it well.

Episode 179: God's Strategy for Overcoming Business Battles   Have you ever felt like you're doing everything the experts tell you to do, yet you're still feeling stuck?   In this episode, I want to encourage you that your biggest business battle may not be a lack of strategy—it may be trying to fight someone else's battle instead of embracing God's unique plan for your life. As I spent time in prayer, the Lord reminded me of the story of David and Goliath and the powerful lesson hidden in David's decision to take off Saul's armor.   Sometimes we're so busy following formulas, comparing ourselves to others, or believing limiting beliefs that we miss the very strategy God wants to reveal to us. Just as David trusted the gifts God had already placed in his hands, you can trust that God has equipped you with everything you need to overcome the challenges in front of you.   In this episode, you'll discover: Why your greatest business battle may actually be a limiting belief. What David and Goliath teaches us about trusting God's unique strategy. How comparison can keep you from walking in your God-given calling. Why your natural gifts may be the very tools God wants to use. Practical encouragement to seek God's direction instead of copying everyone else.   If you're navigating entrepreneurship, leadership, or a season of uncertainty, this episode will remind you that God has already gone before you. You don't have to wear someone else's armor to succeed. Walk confidently in the calling He's given you, trust His guidance, and allow His strategy to lead the way.   If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review.

What do you do when you're believing God for a breakthrough, but all you can see are obstacles?   In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal lessons God has taught me about faith. Whether you're navigating uncertainty in your business, waiting on an answered prayer, or wrestling with fear about what's ahead, I want to encourage you to stop looking at your circumstances through the world's perspective and start asking a different question: "God, what do You say?" Because breakthrough doesn't begin when your circumstances change—it begins when your faith has something to stand on.   In this episode, you'll discover: How to find a foundation for your faith when life feels uncertain Why hearing God's perspective matters more than listening to everyone else's opinions What it looks like to partner with God instead of letting fear lead your decisions How to keep believing for your business breakthrough even when you don't see immediate results Why God often develops your faith before He delivers the promise Practical encouragement for Christian women navigating business, family, and seasons of waiting   If you've been feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, I hope this episode reminds you that God is faithful. He isn't asking you to have all the answers—He's inviting you to trust Him one step at a time and believe that He's working even when you can't yet see it.   If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend or leave a review.

Does it feel like summer is pulling you away from your business? You don't have to choose between making memories and making money.In this episode, I'm sharing the simple marketing routine I rely on when life gets busy, schedules change, and I have less time to devote to my business. As a business owner and homeschooling mom, I know what it's like to juggle family vacations, changing routines, and the desire to keep bookings coming in without working around the clock.Instead of trying to do everything, I'm walking you through the three marketing activities that consistently generate leads, conversations, and sales (even during slower seasons). If you only have 30 minutes a day or a couple of focused hours each week, this framework will help you prioritize the work that actually moves your business forward.In this episode, you'll learn:Why visibility should always be your first marketing priority and what to focus on when creating new content feels overwhelming. How intentional follow-up conversations can dramatically improve your inquiry-to-booking conversion rate. Why discovery calls continue to be one of the most effective ways for service providers to increase bookings and uncover what's really preventing potential clients from saying yes. Find it quickly:03:03 - Summer Marketing04:36 - Visibility First06:21 - Build a Visibility Plan09:45 - Conversations and Follow Up12:41 - Track Leads Simply13:41 - Sales Calls That ConvertMentioned in this Episode:Episode 154: Homeschooling While Building a Business: My Real‑Life Schedule & Curriculum Choices - joymichelle.co/homeschooling-while-building-a-businessEpisode 131: 7 Content Ideas to Boost Your Visibility & Brand Authority - joymichelle.co/7-content-ideas-visibilityEpisode 34: Creating a Visibility Plan For Your Business Marketing - joymichelle.co/visibility-planEpisode 167: The Invisible Sales Leak: Why Your Clients Stop Paying Attention After They Inquire - joymichelle.co/why-your-clients-stop-paying-attention-after-they-inquireRise Collective: learn.joymichellephotography.com/Rise-collective-WaitlistCoaching: joymichelle.co/coachingMore ways to connect:JOY MICHELLE INSTAGRAMWORK WITH JOY AS YOUR COACHJOY MICHELLE CO.

Wanting the stage and being ready to serve an audience from it are two very different things. Speaking can be a visibility strategy, a business development tool, or a business in its own right, but each lane requires a different strategy. When you treat every speaking opportunity the same, you miss the chance to make intentional decisions about your time, your preparation, your pricing, and your follow-up. And all of it starts with clarity: knowing what you have to say, who needs to hear it, and the value you want people to walk away with.In this episode of Branding Room Only, Paula T. Edgar kicks off the So You Want to Be a Speaker series with an honest conversation about what speaking actually requires before the bookings, polished website, or speaker reel. Drawing from her experience speaking to lawyers, executives, affinity groups, leadership teams, and professional audiences, she breaks down the three strategic lanes of speaking, the foundational elements every aspiring speaker needs, and a simple exercise to help listeners clarify their message, audience, and purpose.2:28 – The distinct differences between speaking on stage for industry visibility, business development, and as a fully paid operation3:43 – Why wanting the stage is not the same as being ready to serve an audience from it6:17 – Why narrowing your focus is actually what makes you findable, bookable, and memorable7:12 – How your brand needs to communicate your expertise before you even walk in the room8:00 – What gathering proof in the beginning stages of public speaking will require of you 9:46 – Paula's fill-in-the-blank framework that clarifies your message, audience, and purpose in a way that other people can use to refer youMentioned In So You Want to Be a Speaker?

Kail and Becky wrap up their California trip with an episode full of honesty, chaos, and a few unexpectedly emotional turns. Becky opens with an important reminder to anyone struggling that help is worth asking for before things reach a breaking point.From there, the girls get into hot takes, friendship loyalty, life lessons from past relationships, remote work, motherhood, growing up, and the versions of themselves they've had to leave behind. Kail also opens up about defending Ike, what it means to finally have a supportive partner beside her, and the loneliness that can come with building a public life.Plus, Becky gets measured on-air, Kail spirals over being taller than expected, they talk gender selection, tour stops, For the Haters, and end with an emotional “Is It Karma or Is It Chaos?” about marriage, immigration, guilt, and the life choices that never feel simple.Get your Fatherless Behaviour Tour Tickets hereFor full videos head to patreon.com/kaillowry Follow Becky at Hayter25 and subscribe to For The HaytersThank you for supporting the show by checking out our sponsors!

Most people have stood up and spoken in front of a crowd at least once. But turning that into a career, or even a paycheck, is something most speakers never figure out.I brought in Zach Nadler, Co-Founder and CEO of VaynerSpeakers, because he knows exactly how this industry works, and he held nothing back.We got into what event planners actually look for, how to build a reel that opens doors, what your speaking fee should really be, and why LinkedIn might be the most underrated tool speakers are not using.

This week on Karma and Chaos, Kail and Becky are leaving the wrong kind of chaos behind… allegedly. After a day that can only be described as emotionally illegal, they get into tour excitement, dead dad humor, TikTok live randomness, leaked search histories, and a round of “would you rather” questions that spirals almost immediately.From exes and intrusive thoughts to family group chats, fake jobs, accidental trauma dumps, Fear Factor ideas, and Becky's extremely questionable Philly Wawa story, this episode is unhinged in the exact way it should be. It's honest, hilarious, a little dark, and somehow still ends with the reminder that the goal for the rest of the year is simple: less bullshit, more fun.Get your Fatherless Behaviour Tour Tickets hereFor full videos head to patreon.com/kaillowry Follow Becky at Hayter25 and subscribe to For The HaytersThank you for supporting the show by checking out our sponsors!

This week, Jason is joined by Jon Bouffard — creator, entrepreneur, and one half of one of the most recognizable couples brands on the internet — for a conversation on what it really takes to build a business from nothing and scale it into a multi-six-figure operation.Jon shares the unconventional path that led him here — from making $15/hour across a series of jobs, including teaching, working at Wells Fargo under a fake name, and serving as a vocational counselor, to eventually pivoting into occupational therapy where he capped out financially and began searching for something more.Everything changed when he partnered with his now wife, Alex, stepping into the world of wedding videography. What started as a creative side hustle quickly grew into a full-time business, scaling from $3K to $10K per wedding — but also came with burnout, long hours, and limited upside.Jon breaks down the turning point — when brand deals began replacing wedding income, allowing them to shift fully into content creation. He explains how their business evolved into a six-figure-per-deal model, what brands are really paying for, and why consistency and relatability have been the foundation of their success.He also opens up about the realities behind the scenes — the pressure to constantly create, the mental toll of staying relevant, and the discipline required to keep showing up even when you don't feel like it.Beyond the business, Jon shares insight into how he and Alex divide responsibilities, manage finances, and maintain a strong partnership while building together — including why they prioritize simplicity, avoid unnecessary spending, and focus on long-term stability over short-term flash.The conversation also dives into bigger-picture topics — from the future of the creator economy to the challenges of transitioning into traditional media, and the importance of protecting your personal life in an increasingly public world.From $15/hour jobs to building a scalable digital business, Jon gives a raw and honest look at what it takes to bet on yourself, stay consistent, and turn creativity into a career.Jon reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason Tartick

#915. REPEAT OUR GREATEST HIT EPISODES:Chelsea. Freaking. Handler. The legendary comedian, best-selling author, and unapologetic queen of telling it like it is joins the pod, and NOTHING is off-limits. Chelsea gets real about turning 50 (and why she finally has the body she wanted at 20), what led her to write this new book and why men have never been the center of her story.

#914. You may think you know how American Idol works… but Gabby Barrett explains how the audition process actually goes.This week on Off The Vine, Gabby takes us behind the scenes of Idol in a way you've probably never heard before — from how she was really discovered, to what happens before you ever stand in front of the judges, to competing on the show while falling for her now-husband.After Idol, we get into the song no label wanted… before it changed her life forever and suddenly everyone started calling. We also talk about what tour life looks like with three kids, how she writes heartbreak songs from a happy marriage, and how a John Mayer quote shaped why she never reveals who her songs are about.AND yes — there's an embarrassingly honest confession you won't see coming.Trust us, this is one of the good ones ;) (get it?).If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

From egg freezing and endometriosis to postpartum, loss, and the emotional side of every phase—nothing is off the table.Whitney shares insights from nearly 20 years in fertility nursing, why she chose not to pursue the influencer path, and she opens up about her not-so-great experience on The Bachelor and how it shaped the life she has now.
