My business partner Chris Salem turned the mic around on me for this one, and put me in the hot seat for a change.
In this episode, Chris and I break down Disrupt the Stage, the program I built to combine public speaking training with real market positioning: how to build a signature talk, land stages faster than everyone else chasing the same topic, and turn a 20-minute keynote into 4, 5, and 6-figure opportunities.
We get into:
- Why most speakers copy someone else's talk instead of building their own signature story
- The first-mover advantage: how claiming a speaking topic before your competitors do changes everything
- What makes an audience actually remember you after the lights go down
- How I've helped clients go from unpaid stages to paid keynote contracts
- The difference between speaking to be liked and speaking to build a business
If you're sitting on a story or an expertise nobody's heard yet, this episode is the blueprint for turning it into a stage, and a business.
