How does the professional public speaking industry work? 

At the top end are people being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak for 30 minutes. At the lower end are people being paid nothing or even having to pay themselves to give long talks and workshops to try to build their brand. 

Last year I got the opportunity to speak in front of a conference for professional public speakers and it was an eye opener. 

I made some very good friends and I asked them if they minded me interviewing them about their careers. This series is made up of those recordings. 

There are some very funny stories, some disasters on stage and some great lessons to learn for both experienced speakers, event organisers and people hoping to get into the industry.
