This is a fun and lively conversation about all things speaking, from what to charge to what makes a great TEDx talk to setting long-term goals.

My guest is Dorie Clark, who is a keynote speaker, a top business thinker, and a bestselling author. 

Dorie has given 4 TEDx talks since 2015. Her most recent one this year currently has over 1.8 million views (!).

I’ve been a fan of Dorie’s since reading her books, including The Long Game, Entrepreneurial You, Reinventing You, and Stand Out.

Dorie and I talk about:

• Her goal of writing a musical that appears on Broadway (with my love of Hamilton, I had to start there)
• What it means to think and set long-term goals in a short-term world
• What makes a great TEDx talk (hint: it’s the opposite of what we do in our businesses)
• What to charge for speaking engagements
• And much more
