About this episode

Zach Nadler discusses the elements that make a speaker memorable and the business of professional speaking.

What separates a good speaker from one that audiences remember long after the event ends? In this episode of Adventures in Business, Amani Roberts and Mandi Graziano sit down with Zach Nadler, co-founder and CEO of VaynerSpeakers, to talk about the business of professional speaking and what it takes to build a lasting career on stage. Since co-founding VaynerSpeakers with Gary Vaynerchuk in 2018, Zach has helped reimagine the traditional speaker bureau by building every event around one simple belief: no two events are the same. Zach shares why trust matters more than transactions, what separates great speakers from everyone else, and why the best presentations continue making an impact long after the audience leaves the room. He also offers practical advice for aspiring speakers, discusses the power of storytelling, and explains why experience, preparation, and repetition are still the biggest advantages anyone can have.
