Wow, TedX talk that just hit 4 million views!

My guest today is Terri Trespicio, brand advisor, a writer and a speaker-consultant. She has a TedX talk that just hit 4 million views! I was recently a speaker at one of Terri’s events and I’m going to share some of the great info I learned there as well.

Terri is also a standup comic, which is something I admire because she’s great at it and because it takes such courage to stand up in front of a crowd and make them laugh.

Here’s what we talked about:

Why Terri is careful about who she works with. The price tag isn’t the factor that she uses when deciding what projects are a good fit.
Why you need a signature (talk, approach, idea) and why most of us are afraid to take that step.
What makes a speaker great – you won’t want to miss this.
What mistakes even seasoned speakers make and how to avoid them.
How to manage the 2 audiences you have when you are asked to speak at an event.
What questions to ask an event organizer before you create your talk.
How to be part of the 1% of speakers who will get invited back and get invites from your talks.
When you get on the stage, it’s either about you or about them. How to make your one big idea resonate.
How Terri got on the TedX stage. Hint: it was because of her idea – not because the organizer knew her (he didn’t) and because she was willing to show up and find the answers.
Hear the insight that Seth Godin shared with Terri about success in your business. (It’s a game-changer)
What saying no to work means to Terri. (This is a killer insight.)
