If you’ve been googling “where to find speaking gigs” trying to land more opportunities by pitching every event you come across, it’s probably feeling…exhausting. 

And if you’re still hoping there’s a magical list that’ll land you a dozen dream stages overnight — I’ve got to be honest, that’s not how it works. 

In this episode of The Ramble Refinery, I’ll show you why that approach rarely gets you what you’re actually after — and what to do instead.

I’ve talked about this before on the show, but it’s time for a fresh take. A lot has changed, and I want you focused on what actually works now and not on the stuff that’s wasting your time.

You’ll hear:

  • Why business owners are approaching speaking opportunities backwards 
  • The two types of speaking business models (and why you need to know which one you’re in)
  • The importance of aligned stages, and why quality beats quantity when it comes to speaking 
  • Where to look for the best opportunities  
  • My favorite pitching strategy that doesn’t feel clunky 

If you’re using speaking to grow your business whether it’s to attract more clients, build credibility, or get in front of the right people — this episode will help you rethink your approach so you’re spending energy on the right kinds of opportunities that will get you results (and not burning out chasing the wrong ones).
