What's Inside Each Issue
One Idea, Not Ten
Every issue takes a single problem from the business side of speaking and follows it to the end. Pricing a hybrid engagement. Chasing a contract that has gone quiet. Deciding whether a tool is worth what it costs you.
What We're Seeing Right Now
We're inside the backend of a lot of speaking businesses. When the same problem shows up four times in a month, that's worth telling you about while it's still current, not a year later in a keynote.
Something You Can Use This Week
Every issue lands somewhere concrete. A change worth making, a question to ask on your next sales call, a setting to go fix in your CRM. If there's nothing to actually do with it, it doesn't go out.
Taylorr & Austin
Founders of SpeakerFlow
We've spent 10 years inside the business side of this industry, building the backend for over 1,000 thought leaders. That's a lot of pipelines, proposals, contracts and CRMs, and a lot of watching where things quietly fall apart.
The Soapbox exists because most of what we learn doesn't fit anywhere else. It's too specific for a blog post, too unfinished for a framework, and too useful to keep to ourselves.
So twice a month we pick the most useful one, write it down, and send it out.
Two Emails a Month.
That's the Whole Deal.
Free, short, and specific enough to actually do something with. Unsubscribe in one click whenever you've had enough of us.
