AI is turning our industry upside down.

Here’s the problem: If you keep doing what you are doing, you’ll keep getting LESS.

  • The Game Has Changed... Have You?

Let’s be real. The speaking industry isn’t the same anymore. AI is shifting how content is created and how marketing is executed. Event planners are overwhelmed with choices. And harder to reach. Decision-makers are flooded with options. And the strategies that used to get you booked (and paid) are getting ignored or ghosted. If you’re still relying on outdated outreach or hoping referrals roll in… your pipeline will stay dry.

  • Here's What's Worse...

Are you already behind? While you’re waiting for gigs to come back, someone less experienced is landing the exact opportunities you want. They’re not more talented. They just know what to say, how to say it, and who to say it to. Every month you stay stuck, you lose momentum, miss income, and fall further behind. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to catch up. The speakers who are adapting are getting the gigs, growing their fees, and standing out in crowded markets. The rest are stuck wondering where all the opportunities went.

  • The Solution: Game Changers 2027

That’s exactly why Game Changers 2027 was created… to equip you with the tools, strategies, and expert insights from speakers out there doing it, to thrive in today’s fast-moving speaking industry. You’ll execute these insights at the event.

This is not another “feel-good” event. Game Changers is a 2-day strategic experience designed to show you exactly how to attract clients, raise your fees, and get booked — even in today’s rapidly shifting market. You’ll learn directly from world-class experts who have built multi-6 and 7-figure speaking businesses using the exact strategies you’ll walk away with.

We’ll Discover Together in Deep Dive Sessions:

THEIR PAIN, YOUR GAIN…

You Can’t Sell a Solution If You Don’t Know Their Problem: Most speakers guess what their audience wants and that’s why their message falls flat. In this session we’ll help you dig deep and uncover the real pain points your industry is struggling with. The kind that makes clients say, “That’s exactly what we need!” When you understand what keeps your ideal clients up at night, your talks become magnetic and your value skyrockets. These insights will make your demo reel, one-sheet and website copy more compelling. Why? More bookings.

CREATE MAGNETIC CONTENT…

The right content doesn’t just inform, it attracts: Discover how to create magnetic posts, articles, and videos that speak directly to your ideal clients’ pain points and position you as the go-to expert in your niche. No more chasing leads or shouting into the void. You’ll walk away with a clear content strategy that pulls the right people to you, consistently.

YOUR TOP 100

Hope Is Not a Marketing Strategy. A Target List Is: Most speakers wait for opportunities. We’ll show you how to create them. You’ll learn how to build your personal “Top 100” list a customized roadmap of potential clients, events, and conventions that are already hiring speakers like you. No more throwing darts in the dark or sending cold emails that go nowhere. We’ll help you identify exactly who to reach out to, where to find them, and how to get on their radar with confidence and clarity.

REACH OUT & FOLLOW UP LIKE A PRO

It’s Not Just Who You Know — It’s How You Follow Up: Getting booked isn’t about luck. It’s about strategy. At Game Changers 2027, we’ll show you exactly how to reach out to decision-makers in a way that gets noticed — without sounding desperate or salesy. You’ll also learn the follow-up system top-paid speakers use to stay top of mind (and get hired again and again). Most people give up after one email. We’ll give you a proven process that builds real relationships and turns “maybe” into “yes.”

Head Late-Night Comedy Writer (Darren’s Secret Weapon)

Most speakers address what their audience SAY they need. Great speakers address what makes them wake up in the middle of the night screaming. Legendary ones do that with humor. In this session, you’ll learn the Inception Method… the exact process for identifying your audience’s deepest fears, transforming them into ‘Did you hack my Alexa?’ comedy moments, and using that connection to build instant trust. Late-Night TV veteran and Pain Point Detective Chris McGuire will walk you through the complete system… the kind that generates referrals, commands higher fees, and makes event planners fight over you.
