Hosts Value Transformation Over Information

SPICYYY - Speaking has made me a better event host and being an event host has made me a better speaker. I've seen the good and the bad from both sides, and in this episode I share some hot takes about speakers that most people won't tell you to help you land more speaking gigs and fully understand the speaker selection process, plus some of my non-negotiables personally as a speaker!

In this episode of the Power Table podcast, host Taylor Smith shares valuable insights from both sides of the mic—event hosting and speaking. Taylor discusses the importance of creating a transformative experience for attendees, the significance of customizing speaking applications, and the need for professionalism and good communication. She also emphasizes the value of understanding the event's goals and the dynamics of being a supportive speaker. The conversation highlights the partnership between hosts and speakers, aiming to enhance the overall quality of events.
