Episode 75: How To Get An Agent with David Stollman
12/24/22 • 47 min
Speakers' agents play a crucial role in helping speakers secure speaking gigs by acting as intermediaries between the speakers and event organizers. Agents have the knowledge, experience, and connections to match speakers with the right opportunities and negotiate the best terms and conditions for their clients. They can also provide valuable support and advice to speakers on things like content creation, marketing, and brand development. Agents have access to a wide network of contacts in the speaking industry, which they use to market the speakers' services and get them in front of potential clients. Agents also handle the administrative and financial aspects of a speaking engagement, such as invoicing and contracts, which allows speakers to focus on their message and delivery. In short, agents provide valuable support, expertise, and resources to help speakers secure and succeed in speaking engagements.
This episode focuses on tips on how to get agents to represent you as a speaker. The following are some tips that may help you in attracting the attention of an agent and secure representation shared by a speaker agent himself - David Stollman.
About our super Guest David Stollman:
David has been called many things – blunt, honest and funny are his favorites. He is an educator, a trainer, a keynote speaker and an entrepreneur. David is passionate, fiercely loyal and irrationally biased toward the things he loves. Philadelphia is the greatest city in the world. The University of Maryland is the most beautiful campus of all 600 he’s visited. And, the Phillies WILL win the World Series... someday.
David believes in the inherent dignity of all people, except for those that think Whataburger is better than In-n-Out Burger. (Those people need professional help.) David believes in the power of personal stories, and that leaders have the ability to change the world.
Over the last 20 years, he has won lots of awards from all sorts of cool organizations for his work with college students and the advancement of the college fraternal communities. David has spoken in Canada, and 49 of the 50 states – and that will sound MUCH cooler once the University of Alaska gets it together!
Most importantly, he is a husband, and father of the three most adorable children in the world.

Episode 74: Speaking From The Heart With Manny Cabo
Speaking from the heart helps speakers to be more effective and impactful in their communication.
Speakers need to speak from their heart because it allows them to connect with their audience on an emotional level and deliver a message that is sincere and compelling. When a speaker speaks from their heart, they are able to convey their passion, beliefs, and values in a way that is authentic and convincing. This creates a sense of trust and credibility with the audience, making them more likely to listen and engage with the message being delivered. Moreover, speaking from the heart can help speakers overcome nervousness or stage fright by giving them a clear purpose and connection to what they are saying.
