How to Become a Paid Speaker

A Conversation with Steven M. Hughes

Jan 16, 2025

∙ Paid

One of my goals for 2025 is to grow the paid speaking part of my brand. I’m looking forward to helping organizations facilitate impactful conversations, connect with deeper meaning and “do more” as a core value of their business. I decided to reach out to someone who I consider to be an expert in the Paid Speaking space. He’s a friend and a person that I hold in high esteem. He’s also the person that I reached out to when I was seeking advice, insight and information on how I should approach paid public speaking.
