The Big Talk with Tricia Brouk

Show Notes

In this episode, I share exactly what happened when Live Nation — the world's largest live entertainment company — came to my contact form, and what it revealed about what it really means to treat speaking like a business.

The speakers who will be on the biggest stages next year are building their assets right now. The ones who aren't? They're already missing the window.

Tune in to discover:

Why having the right assets in place is the difference between a decision-maker moving on in two seconds and reaching out to book you

How far in advance the speaking industry actually books, and why most speakers are pitching too late

What it truly means to show up like a pro and the one question you can ask yourself right now to find out if you're ready
