"Stand out or don't bother." This quotation from Sally Hogshead has always bothered me.  

Although I believe 1,000 percent that standing out is critical to having a successful speaking business that makes a difference in the world, standing out is a process.

You have to find that message that rises above the noise, and lucky for us, today we are talking to Marc Ensign.  

Marc is a role model for how to make an impact with your message, and how to rise above all the noise that is out there.

As a speaker, Marc has shared the stage with the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk, Chris Brogan, Brené Brown, Simon Sinek, (my imaginary boyfriend), and Chelsea Clinton.

In this interview we discuss:

• If authenticity is just marketing babble or still meaningful to seapker
• Why Marc urges other to “be a Dick” (and it’s not at all what you think)
• How story fosters connection with the audience if it’s done the right way
• How an unconventional approach lead to amazing speaking opportunity
• What to do if your audience gets offended by your message
