In this episode, Mandi Ellefson talks with Cam Beaudoin, a speaker strategist who helps founders, consultants, and service-based business owners leverage speaking to build authority, attract high-value clients, and scale influence without chasing big stages or flashy keynotes.

Cam shares how he has helped experts turn speaking into a strategic growth engine, utilizing stages, breakout rooms, and recorded talks to generate leads, build credibility, and create repeatable business opportunities. Instead of relying on one-off events or massive audiences, Cam shows how intentional speaking can compound over time and position you as the expert event planners want to book.

When your speaking strategy is structured around influence, relationship-building, and repeatable systems, your authority grows, your audience converts into clients more predictably, and your business scales without unnecessary stress or wasted effort.

🔍 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✅ Why the stage should never be the goal and how to use speaking as a vehicle for influence, trust, and revenue

✅ How founders and consultants can leverage small, intimate audiences to close higher-value opportunities

✅ The difference between being an implementer vs. being seen as a true expert and why it determines who gets booked

✅ Why event planners are risk-averse and exactly what they look for when booking speakers

✅ How to use YouTube and recorded stage content to build authority and get more speaking opportunities

✅ How to turn talks into content, lead generation, follow-up conversations, and backend sales

✅ Why mastering the spoken word is one of the highest-leverage skills a founder can develop long-term

The best founders and consultants don’t grow their business by chasing large audiences or trying to become celebrity speakers. They scale by building a speaking strategy that creates influence, builds trust, and converts audiences into high-value opportunities.
