‘Watch Me’: Turning Setbacks into Standing Ovations


Listen Later

What happens when life throws you off the stage — and you have to find a new one?

In this Brand Mixology episode, I sit down with Elliot Kay — professional speaker, author of six books, founder of Pro Speakers and the Speaker Awards — for an honest and energising conversation about reinvention, resilience, and leading with purpose.

We dive into:

  • How a career-ending injury turned Elliot’s life upside down — and led him to coaching and professional speaking
  • The story behind his “Watch Me” philosophy and why permission is overrated
  • Turning dyslexia and setbacks into drive and creative fire
  • The evolution from public speaking to professional speaking — and the truth about getting paid to speak
  • Why the best leaders keep it simple and put busyness on ice

It’s a raw, funny and deeply human conversation about rediscovering your purpose, using your voice for good, and leading without waiting for anyone’s approval.

👉 Stay to the end to hear Elliot’s success ingredient — and the one thing he’s happily putting on ice.
