I’d love to fill the role. 

What I most often speak on is how we can use platforms like speaking opportunities, podcasts, and even publishing to become thought leaders in a way that fuels connections and fosters community and trust.

When we were kids, we (or, at least, me) were always being told to use our inside voices. Sometimes we were told this when we weren’t even indoors. We were always told we needed to speak more quietly, even if we were so excited we felt like we would burst if we didn’t yell it for the world to hear.

That is the kind of passion and excitement I have when I talk about storytelling and how our stories can be our greatest tool.

In 2021, I accidentally got booked as a guest on the acclaimed financial podcast Stacking Benjamins, not to share my insights and wisdom about money, but to tell a story about a really bad tattoo. Somehow, the way I was guided to tell the story made me see the value in it, and now I share it openly on podcasts and stages across the country as proof that even stories that seem trite can be invaluable when told well.

So what can I offer to your audience? A few things:

• Firsthand proof that everyone has a story that offers value, along with tactics and thinking exercises to help you find your own story.
• My tips and best practices that I’ve learned as a podcast producer, host, and guest, as well as a marketing professional, for being a great guest on podcasts and using podcasting to grow your brand.
• An understanding of why we need to start using our outside voices and how doing so (strategically!) can transform us into thought leaders.
