Why is the speaking industry SO confusing?
Hey, it’s Brian.
I’m the founder and principal consultant of Clarity Up LLC, but in 2015 I was still a professional magician.
Then my talk at TEDxManchesterHighSchool went viral on YouTube, gaining 3 million views and taking me completely by surprise.
It instantly transformed me from a magician to an international keynote speaker on human connection.
And I was definitely not prepared.
So I stumbled through my first handful of paid speaking engagements and did what I thought was a decent job.
Audiences laughed and clapped, and organizers even gave me glowing testimonials.
But then, nothing happened.
❌ No referrals.
❌ No rebookings.
❌ No real impact of any kind.
Fast forward to today
🔥 I’ve been the top-rated speaker at every single event for over 6 years (and we have the data to prove it).
I consistently earn $10,000-$15,000 per engagement.
More importantly, the organizations and educators I work with report real change in their cultures as a result of my presentations.
"Brian got the first standing ovation for a general session speaker in the history of this conference."
-Oregon Association of Counties
See, the speaking industry is like a Rubik’s Cube: simple if you know the secret, but impossible if you don’t.
And now after years of haphazardly teaching the secrets to folks one at a time, I’m packing it all up in a series of programs, workshops, and lectures.
