Rise to Lead Podcast - Episode
Host: Regina Huber
Guest: Kimberly Crowe
How do you start speaking as an entrepreneur—even if you’ve never done it before? Kimberly Crowe breaks down four types of stages to build your visibility and reputation:
Practice Stage – Speak for growth, learning, and experimentation.
Speak-to-Sell Stage – Share your message while inviting action.
Paid Speaking Stage – Offer exclusive content or training for a fee.
Authority Stage – Bring in experts to raise credibility and audience reach.
You don’t need a giant auditorium. Podcasts, TV, radio, Facebook Live—or your own weekly show—can all be your stage.
Kimberly shares Kara’s journey: she started on free networking stages, landed seven podcasts, then moved into web summits, her ownpodcast, and eventually launched a summit—proving that stages lead to stages.
The key? Authenticity beats perfection**.** Mistakes are human, stories connect, and frameworks guide you without scripts. Your knowledge and experience can be transformative to others just a step behind you.
This episode shows you how to create your own stage, share your genius, and amplify your impact—even starting from scratch.
