What people ask most about Speaker Life Media, the magazine, the podcast, and getting seen, heard & booked.
What is Speaker Life Media?
Speaker Life Media is a media platform that helps speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs get seen, heard, and booked. It includes Speaker Life Magazine, the Speaker Life Podcast, free visibility resources, and the annual Speaker Life Summit. It was founded by Lea Woodford in 2007 and is based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Who is Speaker Life Media for?
It's built for professional speakers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and event planners who want stronger media presence and more booked stages — anyone whose expertise is ready for a bigger audience but who isn't yet getting the visibility they've earned.
Is Speaker Life Magazine free to read?
Yes. Speaker Life Magazine is free in both print and digital. You can read the current issue online and subscribe to receive future editions at no cost.
Can I buy a cover or a feature in Speaker Life Magazine?
No. Covers and features are earned, never purchased. That editorial integrity is core to the brand — being featured carries real weight precisely because it can't be bought.
How do I get featured in Speaker Life Magazine?
Features are editorially selected based on the value and relevance of your message. The best path is to build genuine visibility — engage with the platform, the podcast, and the community — so your work is on the editorial team's radar.
What is the Speaker Life Podcast about?
The Speaker Life Podcast brings on today's experts to reveal how they get booked and paid as speakers. Episodes focus on practical, behind-the-scenes strategies for visibility, positioning, and landing more stages.
What is the Speaker Life Summit?
The Speaker Life Summit is the platform's annual live event, held in Scottsdale, Arizona, bringing speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs together for stage-ready training and high-level connection.
Who founded Speaker Life Media?
Speaker Life Media was founded by Lea Woodford, a TV and radio host, celebrity interviewer, and keynote speaker. She created it after seeing that speakers lacked one consolidated resource to help them get seen, heard, and booked.
