About this episode

In this episode, I sit down with Zach Nadler and Steven Weinreb, from VaynerSpeakers, to dive deep into the world of public speaking. Whether you're looking to become a speaker, book a speaker, or just understand the speaking industry, this conversation is packed with insights. We talk about the current state of the speaking market, strategies for breaking into the industry, and why humility and authenticity are key to success.

Zach and Steve share their expertise on what makes a great speaker, how to navigate the speaking world, and what it takes to stand out in an oversaturated market. Plus, we break down the difference between free agents and exclusive speaker representation, the value of speaking for free when you're starting out, and how to refine your content and style to stay relevant.

If you’ve ever wondered how to craft a successful speaking career or book top-tier speakers for your event, this episode is for you.
