Even though it's a holiday in the US (July 4th), I have a podcast for you this week. It's from the Effective Public Speaking book.
Enjoy!

The Transcript:
This is 60 Seconds of Writing in Public with Johanna Rothman for July 4, 2025, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.
This is from the Effective Public Speaking book.
Network with Other Speakers
The more other speakers know you, the more likely you are to receive offers to write, speak, and otherwise offer your content in different ways. This is how content marketing works. It's a reinforcement mechanism for your expertise.
Here are the lessons I learned from all this networking:
- If I had not submitted a proposal, no one would have accepted my presentation.
- My presentations were good enough that people valued what I had to say and how I framed my logic.
- All of my speaking led to other content marketing opportunities.
When you speak at a conference, it's much easier to network with the other speakers–regardless of how senior you think they are in the field.
