Become a corporate-circuit speaker

What you need: Your honest answers on: who you are and what credentials carry into the room (NFL career years + position + notable moments; or business credentials + named companies + outcomes; or media presence + audience size + named platforms), the ONE belief you can defend better than anyone (the contrarian thesis that becomes the talk — not "leadership matters" but a specific argument you would die on the hill defending), the audience you actually want to be in front of (corporate executive teams / industry conferences / sales kickoffs / association annual meetings / employee resource groups — name the rooms), your current speaking footage and stages (any free talks, panels, podcasts, sermons, school assemblies — anything on camera in front of an audience), your honest financial runway (8-16 weeks of focused install before bureau outreach makes sense), and what "I made it as a speaker" means in 2 years — three paid gigs/quarter at $10K + one keynote/quarter at $25K + bureau representation, or full-time speaker with a book deal and $50K+ rate, or the speaker income funding the consulting practice underneath it.

How to use: Danny installs the speaker business with you across 8-16 weeks. If you have built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem, paste this prompt inside that — the AI uses what it knows about your background, voice, and audience and skips questions it already has answers to. Otherwise paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI interviews you across 8 questions, then produces: a QUANTIFIED one-sentence positioning (named audience + number + proof point only you can claim, never "grit and resilience"), the signature talk as ONE thesis architected in FOUR durations (90-min workshop / 60-min corporate keynote / 45-min panel / 20-min lightning), an 8-week development sprint with weekly milestones + named target venue + observable evidence per week, a bureau outreach map (Tier-1 marquee, Tier-2 corporate, boutique-niche — all named) with the rep-pitch template per tier, the first-5-paid-gigs path with the $2.5K → $10K → $25K → $50K progression and the exact graduation conditions between rates, and the speaker package (7-element website, three-length bio, 2:30 demo reel with named timestamps, one-sheet PDF, host intro paragraph). Danny pairs this with bureau intros, positioning iteration, and rate-ladder coaching. Re-run the prompt at week 8 with your first paid gig booked — the bureau-outreach tier shifts from cold to warm.
