In this episode of the SpeakersU Podcast, James Taylor and Maria Franzoni explore one of the most important challenges for professional speakers: how to stay relevant in a rapidly changing marketplace. Maria explains why relevance to a paying market is the first element of her Bookability Formula and how speakers can identify what audiences will need today—and in five years' time. James shares how he blends perennial topics like creativity with fast-moving ones like AI, and why staying a few steps ahead of clients keeps him in demand. From industry reports and boardroom insights to experimenting with new keynote content and testing topics with the market before creating them, this conversation is packed with strategies to help speakers stay visible, booked, and valued in an ever-evolving industry.     Key Takeaways Relevance drives bookings – It's the #1 factor in Maria's Bookability Formula. Think five years ahead – Use strategy insights to prepare for how industries and audiences will evolve. Blend perennial and trendy topics – Pair evergreen skills (creativity, leadership, resilience) with emerging trends (AI, tech, demographics). Listen more, talk less – Relevance often comes from asking the right questions in discovery calls. Experiment before you build – Test keynote ideas, topics, or programs in the market before investing time and money. Differentiate by audience – Tailor your pitch for C-suite, event professionals, and bureaus, as each values relevance differently. Stay close to your industry – Associations like MPI and global markets (US, Europe, Asia) often signal future trends.     Memorable Quotes “The most important element of being bookable is relevance to a paying market.” – Maria Franzoni “Don't wait for five-year plans—ask what the world will look like in five years and move your speaking to match.” – James Taylor “Sell it before you create it. The market decides what's relevant, not you.” – Maria Franzoni “Relevance isn't just your topic—it's how you present it to different stakeholders.” – James Taylor     Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and updates: group sessions and risky live AI music demos 04:24 – Why staying relevant matters: Maria's Bookability Formula 05:18 – James on blending perennial topics with fast-changing ones 06:45 – Strategy lessons from Eric Schmidt: think five years ahead 07:34 – Maria on LinkedIn Learning and WEF reports as future-skills guides 09:10 – How James tracks trends using board minutes, Gartner reports, Reddit 11:11 – Tech examples: AR glasses, live facial recognition, event tech 14:54 – Staying close to the meetings & events industry for insights 16:22 – Meeting professionals shaping the future of conferences 18:48 – Being too early: when audiences aren't ready for your message 20:01 – Test the market first: lessons from publishing and Dragon's Den 23:15 – Differentiating yourself in competitive pitches 25:00 – Evergreen vs. niche topics and industry-specific competition 27:20 – Relevance shifts depending on whether you're pitching C-suite, planners, or bureaus 28:07 – Discovery calls: listening, mirroring language, and building relevance 29:18 – Why listening is the most underrated skill for speakers 30:17 – Maria's tip: ask clients “How did you find me?” and “Why me?” before and after gigs 32:43 – James' tool: Opus Pro for creating viral short-form video clips 34:16 – Closing thoughts and listener questions

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Jason Nies, proprietor of the renowned Inn at Honey Run, and LaVern Hershberger, Vice President of Homestead Furniture. This week's show takes us to the heart of Ohio's Amish country, where we dive into a truly unique partnership: The Inn at Honey Run's iconic Club Level Honeycombs—rooms built into the hillside—are set for a major redesign with Homestead Furniture leading the transformation. Jason and LaVern share the story of how their professional paths crossed through local tourism efforts, their shared mission to honor the area's heritage while staying relevant, and how their businesses are making an impact far beyond their own walls by referring guests to one another. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why both companies are focused on staying relevant to new generations of customers while remaining true to their roots and values What makes Homestead Furniture stand out in the Amish furniture industry How the redesign of the Inn at Honey Run's Club Level Honeycomb rooms will offer guests twelve distinct themed experiences to appeal to diverse visitor preferences Why community collaboration and participating in local tourism committees have been a catalyst for business innovation and personal connection in Holmes County How tourism and destination marketing directly impact both the resort and furniture business, creating a full-circle relationship where each refers customers to the other and enhances the local economy LaVern and Jason's advice on making partnerships work, including the importance of aligned values and trust in each other's expertise Staying Relevant in a Changing Landscape Both the Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture have deep roots in their community—Jason as the inn's third owner and LaVern as part of Homestead's third generation. But remaining core to your brand while evolving to meet modern tastes is a challenge. By integrating contemporary designs and offering full customization, Homestead ensures their craftsmanship appeals to both long-standing customers and a new, design-savvy generation. Jason describes The Inn at Honey Run as “not an Amish country experience” in the traditional sense, but rather “an affordable luxury getaway” located in natural beauty, complete with unique hillside Honeycomb rooms, an award-winning restaurant, and an open-air art museum. By continuously refining the inn's offerings, Jason is setting a new standard for rural luxury and authenticity. A Vision for Diverse, Immersive Stays At the heart of this collaboration is the Honeycomb Homecoming project, a complete reimagining of The Inn at Honey Run's signature Honeycombs—earth-sheltered suites built into a hillside and renowned for privacy and natural immersion. What makes this project groundbreaking is its approach to guest experience. Each of the 12 Honeycomb rooms will be uniquely themed, offering distinctive moods, decor, and even scents to transform the atmosphere. Thanks to the partnership with Homestead, guests will soon be able to choose their ideal ambiance, whether rustic, coastal, mid-century, or traditional, along with the highest level of Amish craftsmanship. Creating a Destination, Not Just a Stay The connection between The Inn at Honey Run and Homestead Furniture extends beyond their immediate partnership. Both Jason and LaVern are actively involved in local tourism development, serving on the chamber's tourism committee to promote Holmes County while preserving authentic Amish culture. Their partnership reinforces Holmes County's status as a top tourist destination in Ohio, attracting visitors eager to escape city life and immerse themselves in natural beauty. The collaboration is full circle; visitors drawn by Homestead's reputation for quality design are guided to stay at the inn, while hotel guests experience Homestead's work firsthand, perhaps inspiring a furniture investment of their own.

This week the boys tackle how old is too old when it comes to dating? And could Pete and Sam really land themselves sugar mummies… or would it all come down to how much someone would pay to get with Sam?Sam also has a go at sexting, which goes about as well as you'd expect. We also get sent, in Pete's own words, “his favourite email so far,” which, surprisingly, is Great Barr United themed. Plus, the boys plot how they'd fake their own deaths if it ever came to it and what would Sam actually do if Pete went missing? Oh, and when are we finally getting some Staying Relevant merch?—

In this episode, we dig into a shift I think is non-negotiable in today's AI-first world: you must become the director, not the doer. Inspired by Dan Martell's framework, we explore how AI should handle the execution — while you define the outcome, set constraints, and bring the human edge.I introduce the three pillars that separate average from exceptional direction: Vision, Taste & Care. You'll hear how I use them in real-world workflows, the traps I fell into trying to do everything myself, and a few tactical moves (prompts, boundaries, feedback loops) that helped me step up.If you feel like you're driving but still stuck doing all the work — this one's for you.

Fresh off the back of the O2 (and yes, we actually pulled it off), we're debriefing all the highs and lows. From Sam hiding in fear to screens breaking and zero run-throughs, it was pure chaos… but somehow we smashed it and even picked up a seventh world record along the way. We also can't not talk about Pete and Jowita's big dance ending. A massive thank you to everyone who came, supported, and to all our brilliant guests for making it such a night to remember.And moving on from the O2, it's straight into the Staying Relevant book. Pete reveals some exciting potential plans, and there may even be a chance to meet us in real life soon, so keep your eyes peeled.MAFS UK is back, which sparks the question of what Pete and Sam would actually want in a future wife. And after Molly-Mae revealed that baby Bambi has started saying she wants to bite people, we put our own parenting skills to the test by imagining how we'd handle Olive and Rose if they suddenly wanted to bite other kids.

The conversation also covered social commerce opportunities, the balance between scaled operations and authentic creator relationships, and the future of AI-driven shopping experiences.Join us for this insightful discussion on how traditional brands can successfully navigate the creator economy while maintaining authenticity at scale.

In this evolving world, remaining relevant means being adaptable and open to change, current on trends and topics, and polishing your tech skills. But who defines what is relevant and why does it matter to you? What if you are content to accept yourself as you are?

Karl Bryan welcomes AI strategist Caroline Hinton for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the world of business coaching. Together, they break down how coaches are leveraging AI for efficiency, measurable ROI, client relationships, and industry relevance—while also addressing key ethical safeguards and practical tips for new coaches. Key Topics & Takeaways: 1. AI's Impact in Coaching AI is already being used (sometimes secretly) by executives and their teams, regardless of top-down adoption. It acts as an indispensable tool, not a threat—think of it as a “brilliant but blunt analyst” that's now part of every leadership circle. Three big shifts: stealth adoption, compressed decision cycles, and democratized simulation with AI tools. 2. How Coaches Are Using AI Massive time savings: AI can organize, summarize, and document calls and workshops in minutes instead of hours. Enhanced client relationships: With routine admin handled by AI, coaches focus on deeper human connections and tailored follow-ups. Powerful diagnostics: Tools like Profit Acceleration Software (PAS) quickly generate profit opportunity roadmaps with minimal data entry, saving time and impressing clients. 3. Demonstrating Value & ROI AI bridges the industry's “credibility gap” by providing both qualitative and quantitative proof of progress. Tools can analyze and track changes in mindset or business performance, helping coaches and clients see tangible results and ROI, updating results in real time. 4. Ethical Considerations Caroline's “Three Cs” of AI ethics: Consent (transparent use and permission), Containment (clear data boundaries and privacy), and Clarity (explainable, source-based results). Coaches should update contracts, anonymize sensitive information, and consider keeping an audit trail of AI interactions to build trust. 5. Advice for New Coaches Treat AI fluency like learning a new sport: start with prompt crafting and develop a regular practice routine. Focus on a “pilot loop”: select a single workflow to automate, measure improvement, and iterate. Harness free online training (from ChatGPT Academy, Google, YouTube) to build AI skills quickly and effectively. 6. Avoiding Overwhelm Filter decisions through: Bottleneck (where do you lose most time?), Anchor (pick one main tool), and Layer (slowly add new tools). Start small, evaluate results, and scale up as you go. 7. Staying Relevant in an AI World Differentiation comes from combining AI-driven insight, compelling storytelling, and an irreplaceable human touch. AI streamlines precision and analysis; coaches add value through empathy, leadership, and psychological depth. Embrace AI as your “superpower,” not a replacement for your unique human perspective. Notable Quotes: “AI is already in the room. It's a tool, not a threat.” “The best opportunity for coaches now is to help clients make sense of AI—decode, challenge, and humanize it.” “At the end of the day... that ability to connect at a human level, to make a difference, to be heard, to influence—are absolutely critical. AI just multiplies your impact.” Resource Links: Profit Acceleration Software by Focused.com ChatGPT Academy For more strategies on elevating your business coaching practice and leveraging cutting-edge AI, check out previous episodes or visit Focused.com.

Once tools like ChatGPT gained popularity, Ivan and his team began integrating them into their workflow, particularly for content development, keyword research, and SEO tasks. However, Ivan remains cautious about relying exclusively on AI-generated content due to concerns about search engine devaluation and authenticity. To balance efficiency with quality, he oversees a process where AI-generated drafts are carefully reviewed and personalized by human subject matter experts, ensuring all content meets high standards and resonates with audiences.3 Fun Facts:Ivan Vislavskiy enjoys both coffee and tea, starting his mornings with coffee and switching to green tea midday, then winding down with herbal tea at night.Ivan's agency, Comrade Digital Marketing, built their own AI-powered system to analyze and qualify client leads by reviewing transcripts from chats, forms, and calls.Ivan predicts video marketing will be vital for SEO dominance in the near future, but points out most of his legal clients are too busy to create video content themselves.Key Themes:AI's vital role in digital marketingBalancing human expertise with AI contentGoogle devaluing generic AI-generated contentAutomation of internal marketing processesImportance of specialization for agenciesSEO diversification across multiple platformsThe growing necessity of video marketing
