Speaking, Podcasts & Interviews

 If you don’t already know, I love to talk.

The best part of my job is now people are actually asking me to do it instead of me just yammering on to friends and family.

I’ve presented on dozens of stages across the country over the past several years to audiences craving insight on sales, websites and pricing. My goal is always the same:

Provide an original perspective on a common issue

  • If you want me to talk about pricing, you’ll get a discussion about building value and increasing desire for your services.

  • If you want me to talk about websites, you’ll learn why catering to short attention spans turns your site visitors into goldfish.

  • If you want me to talk about sales, you’ll spend the entire time learning about buying habits and the way humans make decisions.

I don’t want to talk about what I’ve done to gain success. I want to talk about what you need to do to achieve your goals.

“Find out what’s keeping them up nights and offer hope. Your theme must be an answer to their fears.” -Gerald C. Myers

 

Let’s be clear

I’m not going to rehash a “listicle” that your audience could’ve read on some blog. How boring…

Instead, I’m going to provide original content to questions people didn’t even know to ask, so your audience will walk away thinking deeply about an issue and how to apply it to their business.

You can count on me

I’ll always reframe your understanding of what buyers want and how to grow an event business, it’s just a matter of if it’s on a stage, through an interview, or on a podcast. 


So, will I be wearing business casual or sweat shorts while dropping serious knowledge bombs and blowing the minds of your audience?
