Welcome back to Getting Speakers Booked — the podcast by speakers, for speakers. Every episode brings you real stories, real strategies, and real experiences from speakers who are actively building their impact, influence, and income. In today’s episode, Macy Baxi sits down with Daniel Glazier — a certified personal property appraiser with nearly 25 years of experience — to unpack why you don’t need to be a professional motivational speaker to belong on a TEDx stage. Daniel shares how his work appraising estates, uncovering hidden value, and helping families navigate difficult transitions led him to realize there’s a better, more human way to approach legacy, loss, and preparedness — and why that message deserves to be shared publicly. You’ll hear how Daniel: Built a career valuing personal property, estates, antiques, and collectibles Discovered powerful, recurring patterns while working with families during estate transitions Learned why sentimental value and real value are often very different Overcame the belief that “TEDx is only for professional speakers” Turned lived experience into a meaningful TEDx idea focused on reducing pain for families Embraced the TEDx journey despite fear, nerves, and stepping into something new If you’re a speaker — or someone who’s never considered themselves a “speaker” — but you know you have an idea worth sharing, this episode will show you how real-world expertise can become a powerful stage-worthy message. ⭐ Join the community → Global Speakers Circle (Free Facebook Group): Connect with speakers, network, and get weekly tips.
