SPS 188: Turning Your Book Into A Viral TED Talk & Speaking Career with Dr. Guy Winch

If you're interested in launching a speaking career, this podcast interview is a must-listen. Join me as I chat with Dr. Guy Winch, the author of three books and a three-time TED speaker with over five million views on just one of his talks. In this episode, we discuss how to turn your book into a TED or TEDx talk and book your first speaking gig to promote your book.

During the interview, we cover a range of topics, including what Guy learned from ten years of writing screenplays and how he used it to write better non-fiction books. We also explore whether the book or the TED talk came first and how writing a book can help you give a better TED talk.

Additionally, we delve into how to come up with a big idea for your TED talk, how to get your first "yes" for a TEDx talk, and how to increase the virality of your talk with a specific technique. Guy also shares his advice on getting PR and publicity for your TED talk and why and how you should get on podcasts to promote your book and TED talk.

This episode is jam-packed with valuable insights on launching a speaking career and promoting your book. If you're interested in building your author-ity and growing your speaking career, don't miss this content-rich episode.
