EY, were you ever in Toastmasters?

"Not doing too well this year? Ditch the expensive big-name speakers. I can give a fascinating and useful talk and I won't charge you as much."

The conventional wisdom the says that charging more will get you *more* gigs. The line of reasoning being, "If he cost that much, he must me an authority."

But you have a while before you'll be viewed that way outside of H+ (and OB now too, great to see ).

But do you think people who hire you to speak will adjust for that and end up paying you less?
