I'd love to hear from you! Send me a text message here and let me know what you thought about the episode. :)

Have you ever thought about boosting your thought leadership and getting paid to speak?

I have followed the career of influential keynote speaker Jess Ekstrom for years. I've purchased headbands from her company Headbands of Hope, I subscribe to her email newsletter, and now she's here to share her wisdom on entrepreneurship, thought leadership, how to build a brand as a speaker and so much more!

We also cover the big mistake speakers make, the impact of powerful journaling prompts, and how to get yourself booked for well-paying gigs (Jess shares so many juicy tips).
