The Producer's Syndicate
Where Performance Meets Profitability,
your Backstage Pass To Speaking Success
There’s a reason Hollywood has directors AND producers.
Think of the most iconic movies of all time—the ones that define generations, draw in millions of viewers, and become lasting franchises. What sets them apart from the films that fade overnight into obscurity?
It’s not just the actor or the director.
It’s the producer.
The producer orchestrates every detail, patching the individual elements together
Talent? Yes.
But also funding, marketing, sales, distribution, systems and everything that’s needed for predictable box office success.
Exactly the same principles apply to your speaking business.
You’re the raw talent. You’ve mastered your craft. The stage is your home. Audiences are captivated by your energy, your stories, and your presence.
But that’s just one piece.
There’s also the sales and the systems and the marketing and the distribution, plus the secret sauce that only years in the industry reveal.
Without a producer taking care of all of these moving parts, you’re a straight-to-VHS home movie.
WITH a producer? A whole different ball game. We’re talking red carpets, international awards, column inches, premium fees and sequel after sequel after sequel.
A real blockbuster.
A career full of blockbusters.
Introducing
The Producers' Syndicate:
So you need a producer.
But where are you going to find the best producer for your speaking business?
Well I’m glad you asked, because you’re in exactly the right place, right now.
Where you turn your speaking talent into a thriving business empire.
Why Many Speakers
Stay Stuck in the Grind
Talent alone doesn’t create blockbusters. Behind every successful speaking career lies strategy, systems, and business-savvy execution. Without these, even the most talented speakers fall into common traps:
- Hustling from gig to gig without a consistent strategy.
- Saying “yes” to free engagements just to stay visible.
- Struggling with unpolished marketing materials and unclear messaging.
- Feeling alone and overwhelmed in making business decisions.
All of which leads to:
Any of that sound familiar? ALL of that sound familiar? You’re not alone. Not any more, at least.
- Feast-or-famine income patterns that keep you stressed.
- Time wasted chasing unqualified leads or undervaluing your work.
- Confusion about how to scale, where to focus, or what opportunities to prioritize.
“He should have charged me 5x as much because the VALUE I received was so astounding!”

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What exactly do I get each week?
You’ll receive a personalized email from Mike with strategic guidance, tailored prompts, and clear next steps to build your speaking business. Think of it as your weekly “Studio Notes” from your producer, designed to refine your process and keep you on track.
What if I miss a week or fall behind?
No problem. Just like in any great production, sometimes there are reshoots. You can pick up where you left off and refocus your efforts. The Syndicate is designed to work around your schedule, not overwhelm you.
How much time will this take each week?
Expect to dedicate 15–30 minutes a week to reviewing your email, reflecting on your progress, and crafting your reply. The real magic happens when you implement the strategies into your business.
Do I need to attend live calls or group meetings?
Nope! This is a private, email-based program. It’s designed to cut out the fluff and noise so you can focus on what matters: building your business. No group calls, no distractions—just direct, actionable advice.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results depend on your commitment. Speakers who consistently show up and implement the strategies have seen more paid gigs, higher fees, and better positioning in their markets. This isn’t about quick wins; it’s about building a lasting, scalable business.
How soon will I see results?
This depends on your starting point and the effort you put in. Many participants notice shifts within the first few weeks, especially in clarity, confidence, and business opportunities. Long-term transformation comes from consistent implementation.
What if I’m already a successful speaker? Will this still help me?
Absolutely. This program is for speakers at all levels who want to transition from a gig-based business to a sustainable speaking empire. Even seasoned professionals will benefit from tightening their strategy and scaling their efforts.
What level of speaker is this program for?
The Producers' Syndicate is for speakers at any stage who are ready to build a thriving business. Rising speakers will gain the clarity and structure to secure paid gigs and grow their brand, while established speakers will refine their strategy, increase their fees, and scale their results. Wherever you are in your journey, this program provides the tools to take your speaking career to the next level.
What if I’m not great at marketing or sales?
That’s exactly why this program exists! Many speakers excel on stage but struggle behind the scenes. You’ll get clear, actionable guidance to simplify marketing, refine your sales process, and grow your visibility.
Will this help me improve my speaking skills?
This program is not about performance coaching. It’s about building the business behind your talent. If you’re looking to refine your stagecraft, then you should consider the Speakers Guild or one of our live events.
Why is there no refund policy?
Think of this like buying a ticket to see Wicked or Taylor Swift—your seat is reserved, and the show goes on! This program is for serious speakers ready to commit. When you show up, follow the guidance, and take action, you’ll get results that are worth every penny. We’re confident in the value because it’s designed for those who are ready to play full out.
Can I upgrade to private coaching later?
Yes! Participants of The Producers’ Syndicate often move on to private coaching for deeper, more customized support. Keep an eye on opportunities to work more closely with Mike.
Is this a one-time payment or recurring subscription?
It’s a one-time payment of $1,200 for the full year. No recurring fees or hidden charges—just a year of transformative support.
Do you offer payment plans?
At this time, we’re only accepting full payments for the January 2025 program.
What happens after the year is over?
By the end of the year, you’ll have a solid foundation for a scalable speaking business. If you want continued guidance, there may be opportunities for alumni to stay connected for Year Two.
