How do you start speaking as an entrepreneur—even if you’ve never done it before? Kimberly Crowe breaks down four types of stages to build your visibility and reputation:
Practice Stage – Speak for growth, learning, and experimentation.
Speak-to-Sell Stage – Share your message while inviting action.
Paid Speaking Stage – Offer exclusive content or training for a fee.
Authority Stage – Bring in experts to raise credibility and audience reach.
You don’t need a giant auditorium. Podcasts, TV, radio, Facebook Live—or your own weekly show—can all be your stage.
Kimberly shares Kara’s journey: she started on free networking stages, landed seven podcasts, then moved into web summits, her ownpodcast, and eventually launched a summit—proving that stages lead to stages.
The key? Authenticity beats perfection. Mistakes are human, stories connect, and frameworks guide you without scripts. Your knowledge and experience can be transformative to others just a step behind you.
This episode shows you how to create your own stage, share your genius, and amplify your impact—even starting from scratch.
