BOOKED. Ep 2 | Scott Stratten: Kickbacks, Double Dipping, and the Cost of Integrity.

BOOKED. is a podcast about the speaking industry, the real, behind-the-scenes side. Hosted by Petar Josic, founder of Spoken Artists, the show explores the business: the money, the bookings, the agents, the planners, the speakers, and everything in between. Real conversations with the people who make it all happen.

In Episode 2, we sit down with Scott Stratten. President of UnMarketing, best-selling author, and one of the most respected voices in the speaking world, Scott shares his journey from music industry marketer to national sales trainer, viral video agency founder, and full-time speaker for companies like Walmart, Pepsi, Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, Cirque du Soleil, and Saks Fifth Avenue. We dive into kickbacks, double dipping, and the programs that have blurred the lines in the speaking industry, and why integrity matters more than ever.
