How to write better pitches to book speaking gigs [Jay's go-to format]
The way we write pitches is broken compared to what actually works, all because of one nuanced but critical reality: We're good at describing our talks. We're bad at describing why they'd BOOK US TO SPEAK. But isn't that the point?

It'll also be useful for pitching podcast hosts, editors, and any gatekeeper who might platform you.
