I’m so excited to get started with our new cohort! 🚀

We’ve already had 7 amazing people join us, and I’m looking for 13 more to round out our max of 20.

Speaking 4 Profit Academy is designed for the expert who is ready to treat their speaking like a business. We focus on the sales systems and CRM tools you need to land those big consulting contracts without the headache.

Why now?

After this cohort launches, I’m shifting gears.

I’ll be spending my spring growing my personal brand and my summer traveling abroad.

If you want to work with me in this capacity, the time is now—we won’t be back until the Fall.

Don’t worry, the Profitable Speaker Circle stays open and YouTube content will keep flowing, but this is the last chance for high-level Academy coaching for a long time.

💰 Financing is available (options as low as $250/mo), so let’s get you started on the path to world-changing impact and financial independence.

📅 Deadline to apply: February 20th.

🎤 Command the Stage — and the Check
Stop speaking for “exposure” and start building a predictable, high-paid speaking engine. 🚀

Most experts think they need a massive following or a viral TED Talk to land $5K–$15K gigs. The truth? You just need a system.

At Speaking 4 Profit Academy (S4P), we help underrepresented experts, consultants, and leaders transform their voice into a consistent six-figure income stream.

💎 The S4P Promise
We don’t just teach you how to speak better; we give you the monetization machine to land corporate, association, and nonprofit contracts—even if you aren’t “famous.”

📈 Proven Results
Our students are closing deals while they sleep:

Christine just booked Poshmark, Chegg, and the MLB Network.

Nisha turned a lead into a $17,000 proposal and a $7,900 payday.

Kyle covered his entire tuition with just one keynote.

I am writing my 2nd book…

I’m dedicating the next few weeks to something that’s been calling me: writing my book, Pitch to Paid™.

Here’s what I’ve come to realize – the speakers who builds sustainable, profitable businesses are readers.

They’re the ones who invest in business books, who understand that speaking is more than just craft.

It’s about systems, strategy, and scalable infrastructure.

Books are how speakers around the world find you.

They’re your global pitch, your authority builder, your 24/7 sales tool.

Yesterday, I wrote the first outline and completed the first draft.

I’m resting this weekend (because boundaries fuel better work), and Monday I’ll be back at it with edits.

Pitch to Paid™ will be the book I wish I had when I started – one that shows you how to turn your expertise into a six-figure speaking business through proven systems, not endless hustle.

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book to amplify your speaking career, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

I’m building the most diverse and financially free speaking community on Skool, and I’d love for you to help shape it with me.

This is our space to celebrate wins together, support each other’s growth, whether that’s connecting with vetted web designers or getting feedback on the best AI tool to use, and cheer each other on at our open mic nights.

It’s free to join, comment “ profit” or click the link in my bio and let’s build this together.

I stopped following everyone else’s money rules and wrote my own.

Here are Evolve’s 5 Money Rules — the code I’m building my next decade on:

1️⃣ My peace is always more important than any paycheck.
If the money costs my health, rest, marriage, or nervous system — it’s too expensive.

2️⃣ I get paid for proximity, not for proving.
I’m paid for my judgment, experience, and strategy — not unlimited access or burnout-level overdelivery.

3️⃣ If it doesn’t make money while I rest, it’s not a real asset.
Recurring revenue, digital products, real estate, equity > hustle-only income.

4️⃣ My lifestyle must be affordable on ONE income stream.
That’s how I avoid panic selling, fear-based decisions, and staying stuck in misaligned work.

5️⃣ I only upgrade my life when my future self is funded.
Retirement, savings, taxes, and investments come first. Luxury comes from overflow — not ego.

✨ My money philosophy in one sentence:
I build income for this season, but wealth for the next 30 years.

If you’re entering a new financial chapter, feel free to borrow these.

And if you already have personal money rules — I’d love to hear them in the comments. 👇🏽
