Financial Freedom Podcast with Dr. Christopher H. Loo, MD-PhD 🎙️ Public Speaking Coach Kat Halushka on Building a Business from the Stage
If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a public speaking coach or using your voice to build a powerful business, this episode with Kat Halushka is a must-watch. Kat shares how she turned her immigrant success story into a speaking career that empowers entrepreneurs to grow their business and brand through the power of storytelling and live communication.
We dive deep into what it really takes to step away from corporate burnout, craft a clear message, and confidently claim the stage—without burning your life down in the process. If you're navigating self-doubt, wondering how to make a meaningful pivot, or trying to figure out how to build a scalable impact-based business, Kat provides clarity, encouragement, and real-world tools.
As the co-founder of Profitable Impact Academy, Kat works with coaches and creatives who want to become visible, get paid to speak, and create purpose-driven businesses. She offers tactical advice for overcoming fear in career transitions, how to replace yourself in business for long-term freedom, and why radical responsibility is the foundation for lasting success.
This is more than inspiration—it's a blueprint for action. You'll also learn how the right mindset for entrepreneurs, strategic visibility, and the courage to start saying “no” can unlock your next level.
