Most speakers lose bookings not because they're unqualified — but because event planners can't figure out how to hire them. 

In this episode, Brad Hauck and Dixie walk through the complete path from discovery to contract: how to breadcrumb speaking cues through your book, build a frictionless speaker website, and reduce the hesitation that stops buyers from pulling the trigger. 

You'll learn how to set up a dedicated booking page, what to audit on your third-party profiles, and how to show up in AI-powered searches before a competitor does.

The Expert’s Journey podcast is dedicated to empowering authors, content creators, experts and professional speakers worldwide.

Join hosts Brad Hauck, author of AI Powered Profits: Use AI to Automate & Accelerate Your Business in 90 Days, and Dixie Carlton, author of Start With the Draft: How to Easily Plan and Write a Non-Fiction Book, as they share practical insights to elevate your speaking career.

Each episode delivers actionable strategies to grow your audience, sharpen your skills, and increase your impact through speaking, publishing, and smart marketing.

Whether you're looking to boost your influence or explore new ways to share your expertise, The Expert’s Journey gives you the tools and direction to succeed.
