  • Please improve audio quality!

    Great discussions with “Shark” and a range of professional speakers. However, ironically the audio quality is distorted and sounds like static (or a kazoo). Five stars once this is improved.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Resilience, Reinvention, and Speaking Success: Ross Bernstein’s Journey
Q: What are two tips you have for speakers that everybody should know?
The guest emphasizes the importance of ongoing customization and research to tailor each talk to the audience, and the persistence of traditional outreach methods—pounding the phones and following up through referrals and relationships—to maintain a filled calendar even in tough times.
From ROI to ROE: Secrets to Speaker Success with Meeting Professionals
Q: Tell us about the shift from ROI to ROE and what steps speakers can take to implement this today.
The speakers emphasize returning on experience or engagement by making content highly relevant, involving attendees in the journey, and providing a clear, memorable structure. They also stress partnering with planners, tailoring content to the event's goals, and delivering measurable outcomes.
Becoming the Obvious Choice: Personal Branding and Visibility Tips for Speakers
Q: What are the essential components of a speaker's online presence beyond just a website and on‑stage clips?
An authentic, real-time, multi-platform presence (especially Instagram and LinkedIn) that shows you in action, with a clear alignment to your brand pillars, and evidence of your audience engagement, is crucial for credibility and discovery by event planners.
Why Stories Matter: Cultivating Impactful Narratives for Audiences and Leaders
Q: Let's start from the big picture first, from your point of view. Why are stories important? And what are some ways that we can start cultivating those stories as speakers and as communicators who are solving problems?
Stories energize content by giving listeners a place to insert themselves, making the message relatable and memorable. Cultivation involves research, asking deeper questions, and looking for ways to connect personal moments to universal problems, then shaping those moments into a narrative arc.
Simplifying Speaker Accounting: How to Track Revenue, Expenses, and Avoid Common Mistakes
Q: What are three to five common errors professional speakers make regarding accounting and taxes?
The guest emphasizes avoiding overcomplicated systems, keeping current with monthly closes, outsourcing when efficient, tracking trends, and building a realistic budget/forecast rather than relying on hunches.
