- We don't just celebrate wins
In partnership with
Hey royals,
This past week gave me a lot to reflect on.
One student closed a trade at a loss.
Another - Kelly Kam - hosted her first paid podcast gig.
Two completely different moments.
But both reminded me what this community is really about.
✨ Not just performance - but presence.
✨ Not just results, but rhythm.
✨ Not just spotlight wins - but showing up, even when it's hard.
🎙 Speaking isn't just about the stage
It's the podcast you dared to record.
The workshop you offered before it felt "ready".
The summit you contributed to when your slides were still evolving.
And for our co-founder Kelly Kam, it was this: Her first official podcast hosting gig - yes, paid (because of course someone asked).
She didn't need it to be perfect.
She just needed to show up.
And she did.
That's the real win.
At Speakers Society, we celebrate every mic moment - big or small - because it all compounds.
🧠 The crypto trade I couldn't forget
A student shorted BTC.
We chatted briefly, where I shared, "I would hold - but that's me."
We talked about the importance of float. Margin. Timing.
I didn't hear back until she had closed, at a loss.
It stung.
Not because I was upset.
But because I understood.
We've all had moments where we felt stuck mid-decision and didn't know who to turn to - or how.
And if there's anything I want to build in my communities - whether it's crypto, business, or brand - it's this:
💬 We talk. We check in. We support.
Not just when things go well. But especially when they don't.
🤖 The founders of the future don't hustle - they design the machine
I used to think scaling meant hiring.
Now I know: It starts with training your tools.
AI isn't just about automation.
It’s about amplifying how you think, lead, and speak - so your message travels further without you burning out.
In my recent article with e27, I broke down how I used AI-first thinking to build multiple businesses before hiring a team.
And yes, the same systems run beneath the Speakers Society Accelerator.

The TL;DR?
Creators got YouTube.
Writers got Substack.
Speakers got spreadsheets.
Not anymore.
Speakers Society isn't just a community - it's an ecosystem.
Built for founders, educators, coaches, and creators who want to turn their voice into income, influence, and impact.
💡 August: Cast 2 of Speakers Society Accelerator is here
Cast = cohort
You don't need a huge following to get paid to speak.
You need a system. And a sign.
This is it.

Use AI to scale without sounding robotic.
Let's go from silence to spotlight - together.
🪩 Final note
We all take losses.
Money. Momentum. Moments.
But it's how we hold them - and how we share them - that shapes the next chapter.
We don't have to carry each other.
But we can walk with one another.
P.S. The mic moment that changes your life? Might not look like a keynote.
It might look like a DM. A reply. A "yes".
Let this be yours.
