ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the message, expertise or business you have built is already valuable—but not enough people know that it exists?
In this episode of Freedom Unlocked, speaker profitability expert and Speaker’s Playhouse host Kimberly Crowe explores public speaking, visibility, podcast guesting and turning attention into business opportunities. After leaving a 17-year corporate career, Kimberly built a business around speaking and helping entrepreneurs, coaches and authors use stages, podcasts and other platforms to get their ideas in front of more people.
Kimberly explains why visibility alone is not enough. Speakers need to know what they want an audience to learn, do and feel, and they need to give listeners a clear next step after hearing them. She also shares practical advice for landing early speaking opportunities, preparing a speaker bio and headshot, building genuine relationships instead of simply collecting contacts and approaching networking with a specific goal rather than trying to meet everyone in the room.
At its heart, this conversation is about having the courage to stop hiding your message. Kimberly encourages people who fear public speaking to reframe some of that nervous energy as excitement and gain confidence through repetition. Her mantra is simple: when someone hands you a microphone, say yes. The more opportunities you take to speak, the more clearly you learn to communicate your expertise, build trust and create opportunities around the work you care about.
