Many people dream of becoming professional speakers, but the biggest hurdle often isn’t presentation skills; it’s finding the courage to step forward and share what they know. And for many aspiring speakers, writing a book can become the catalyst that transforms experience into credibility and opportunity. Award-winning author Sara Challice sits down with Rob to discuss the courage required to build a speaking career, overcome self-doubt, and put a price on your expertise. Sara also shares the story behind her book Who Cares?, the lessons she learned through the writing process, and why a book can open doors that even the best presentations sometimes cannot.

• How Sara discovered she had a message worth sharing with audiences and what inspired her speaking journey.
• Why so many aspiring speakers struggle with self-worth, pricing, and charging appropriately for their expertise.
• The fears that most often prevent talented people from pursuing professional speaking opportunities.
• Why waiting until you feel completely ready may be the very thing holding you back.
