Welcome to another episode of My First Stage: the podcast where I sit down with public speakers to get real about how they got started, how they landed their first stages, and how speaking helped transform their businesses and lives.I had the pleasure of sharing the (virtual) stage with Justin Peters, one of my favorite competitors in the podcasting world and someone who always keeps me inspired. Justin is a podcast coach, co-founder of SimplePod, and the host of Podcast Playbook. Not only has Justin been podcasting since 2019—he’s helped countless business owners launch, edit, and manage podcasts that build authority and trust with their audiences. We’ve spoken at many events in our shared city, and I’m thrilled for you to hear his story.Here’s a quick overview of what Justin and I discussed during our conversation:Justin’s Unconventional First Stage: How saying “yes” to a viral opportunity landed him in front of 250 people as a 20-year-old.Big Stages vs. Small Stages: Why smaller audiences can trigger bigger nerves—and why stage size impacts your engagement style.Building Your Personal Brand: The role of content creation in getting noticed, “being qualified,” and landing speaking gigs.Toastmasters & Skill Development: How Justin used Toastmasters to sharpen his ability and stay intentional about growing as a speaker.Monetizing Your Stage Time: How Justin leverages presentations for lead generation, business growth, and long-term relationships.Judging Success: The mix of metrics and gut feel that determines whether a speaking opportunity was worth it.Repurposing Your Content: Strategies for turning speaking gigs into lasting assets—in newsletters, podcasts, and social posts.Podcasting & Speaking: Why podcast hosts make great speakers, and how practicing content off-stage translates to confidence on-stage.Authenticity vs. Polish: Our take on filler words, nervous ticks, and why being relatable matters (especially in the personal finance space!)Maximizing Every Role: How moderating panels and volunteering can be stepping stones to bigger stages—and how to be strategic about it.Advice For Aspiring Speakers: Justin’s best tip for beginners—start local, build your list, and don’t be the one to tell yourself “no.”If Justin’s story lit a fire for you, here’s how you can turn inspiration into action:Share Your Story! – I want to hear about your own first stage moment.
