One of the most popular requests among speakers is to one day work with a bureau or speaker management company. We hear all the time, "I just want a bureau so I can focus on speaking".

Well, my friends, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that's the wrong mentality.

What is a bureau for? How is it different from speaker management? How do you start working with bureaus? When do you know you're at a point where they'd take you seriously?

All of these questions and more we're tackling in today's episode!

To help us cover this is an industry legend, 40-year bureau owner Diane Goodman.

Diane Goodman was the founder of Goodman Speakers, one of today's leading bureaus. After successfully exiting, she started Goodman Speaker Management to continue supporting the industry.

She's THE leader in knowledge of bureaus, management companies, and how speakers can leverage those relationships successfully.

So, without further ado, let's get into it!
