If you’re a messenger, chances are you’ve got “do a TED talk” on your bucket list.

I’ve noticed that the main reasons my clients haven’t applied are 1) they don’t know what they’ll talk about or 2) the process feels daunting.

Since I talk plenty about message already, in this episode I decided to tackle reason #2 and peel back the curtain of what it looks like to actually apply for one.

So it no longer feels so overwhelming or impossible.

To do that, I called up former TEDx event organizer (aka the person with final say on who gets approved for a talk) Jess Tomlinson, my biz bestie, to have an open chat and balance out the perspective I bring to the table as a TEDx speaker.

Listen in to this behind-the-scenes conversation to learn what it really takes to land a TEDx talk. You may be surprised!
