22. Learning From a Failed Startup with Bobbie Carlton
Description
The founder of the Innovation Women speaking platform, she also owns the companies Innovation Nights, Carlton PR + Marketing and Lioness Magazine.
She does what she does because she’s tired of seeing the same “male, pale and stale” speakers on stage at events. But she’s hardly against men—she says, in fact, that she’d welcome any man that wants to join a website called Innovation Women.
In this episode, we not only dove into how to get paid speaking gigs (the short version: kill it at free conferences so that people ask you to come deliver the same speech at their company) but also how she learned the most from a failed startup, finding out she had to deliver a TEDx talk two days before the event and why she started Innovation Women because she was “pissed off.”
