Deep down curious what it would be like to get paid to just… talk? You've got stories, you've got opinions, but you have no idea where to start, what to speak about, or what the hell to charge. Say less — this episode is for you.
Jess Ekstrom is the founder of Mic Drop Workshop, bestselling author, and entrepreneur who scaled and exited her first company entirely through public speaking — and now helps women land paid keynote spots.
She's breaking down exactly how to go from "I could probably do that" to actually doing it. You'll walk away with a clear first step, a framework for building your talk, and the confidence to start charging what you're worth.
If you've ever downplayed your accomplishments and talked yourself out of the room — this episode will talk you back in.
