Getting paid to speak is not just about being talented. It is about being findable.

In this episode, Quinn Conyers, internationally recognized event emcee and keynote speaker, breaks down what actually gets speakers booked in 2026. We talk LinkedIn as a search engine, speaker positioning, recommendations, and how to leave “breadcrumbs” that prove you are who you say you are. Plus, Quinn shares her luxury language framework so you stop accidentally discounting yourself in conversations, proposals, and pitches.

In this episode:

How Quinn landed her first paid speaking gig

What “visibility beats ability” looks like in real life

LinkedIn profile upgrades that make planners take you seriously

The language shifts that elevate your pricing and your presence

Why you do not need to “find” your voice, you need to turn it up

Burnout isn’t a calendar problem. It’s a system problem, and your body is keeping receipts.

In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, Yasmine Robles sits down with Elizabeth Wangugi Etienne (aka The Business Witchdoctor), wellness event and retreat planner and the creator of The Nap Concert, a live acoustic jazz experience where you literally take a nap.

We talk about the sneaky signs of burnout in high-performing founders (hint: it’s not just “being tired”), why caffeine and “extra calories” can be red flags, and how leaders can stop treating exhaustion like a badge of honor. Elizabeth breaks down her idea of longevity leadership, thinking in 10-year batches instead of quarter-to-quarter panic, and shares practical, low-cost ways to reduce team burnout without turning into the company therapist.

Then we get into what everyone’s curious about: what actually happens at a Nap Concert. From the healthy, digestion-friendly spread to the sensory cues designed to calm the nervous system, Elizabeth walks through the end-to-end experience, why it works as a new kind of networking, and how organizations can bring the Nap Concert or a full Nap Festival to their teams.

If you’ve been trying to market like it’s hot while your nervous system is waving a white flag, this one’s for you.

Shay Nelson, founder of MSN Law Office, breaks down the contract red flags she sees constantly, why templates and AI can backfire, and what clauses founders misunderstand the most. We talk trademarks (name vs logo), when you actually need an attorney, and how to hire your first employee without accidentally creating a legal mess. Practical, clear, and a little bit spicy.

About Shay Nelson:

Prior to venturing out on their own, Maritza “Shay” Nelson spent 7 years at two of the nation’s largest law firms as an associate in their respective litigation groups. Shay then decided that practicing law could be about more than how many hours could be billed and now works almost exclusively on a flat fee basis. Clients range from start-ups to growing businesses and non-profits with nearly 100 employees across a wide variety of industries.

Maritza is a proud graduate of Howard University, where they received their Bachelor of Arts in Political Science summa cum laude before going on to The University of Texas School of Law for their Juris Doctorate. In addition to running a thriving law firm, Shay is actively involved with the state and local bar associations. In their spare time, they are a struggling blues-rock guitar and bass player and avid sci-fi and fantasy reader.
