Been a hot minute since I shared in here. Sorry about that! If you're struggling with getting speaking work, you must have a market tested problem/solution and you must PUT IN THE WORK. Get out there, connect with people (especially on LinkedIn), and figure out what their problems are! Then get into the places where your ideal clients gather and do whatever it takes to speak there for free if necessary. If you actually know your audience, actually know their problem, and teach them how to solve it, the referrals flow naturally. That's really all it takes. Get out there and crush it!

As promised, below is the information for the speaker showcase that I brought up at the end of our zoom call with Marianne today. All the spots have already been filled to participate in the speaker showcase, but anybody is welcome to come sit in the audience. There will be a mix of new speakers as well as very seasoned speakers who make a lot of money doing what they do participating in this showcase. You will see folks giving little one liners and little pieces to use to update their speaker reels, but the NETWORKING opportunity for you here will be massive. In my opinion, the absolute best in the business as far as creating speaker demo reels and other speaker video footage is Tyler McCulloch, he does Ty Bennett, Michelle McCullough, Chad Hymas, etc. And he will be there getting footage of all of the speakers who are participating. Come hang out and watch some of the best do what they do behind the scenes! NSA MOUNTAIN WEST SPEAKER SHOWCASE Wednesday, Nov 12 2025 9am-2pm The Lehi Kiln 2701 N.

The Speaker Competition coming up on the Season Finale next month and I need your advice: IF YOU CAME TO THIS EVENT - 1. What would you expect if you competed? 2. What would you hope to get out of it, even if you didn't compete/win?

In order for me to (accomplish specific goal) I choose to (take specific action) before I go to bed. And here's proof (share a screenshot)

If I could only teach you one thing that you’ve learned at 100%. What would it be? What is the one thing you need to understand? What is the one thing you need to feel 100% capable of doing? What is the one thing, that (God forbid) if I never spoke again, you will have wanted me to teach you? Here's why I'm asking: Charlie Kirk's death hit me like a ton of bricks. Last year my brother passed away, and this assassination felt just as difficult for me. We share a profession We share a faith and briefly we shared a city. So it leaves me wondering - am I doing the work I need to be doing? What message would I be willing to leave my children motherless for? I have been wrestling with this since Wednesday. So I ask because I want to know - Have a done any good in the world today? And what do you need that I can give?
