How an Ex-Actuary Became a Full-Time Paid Speaker, and Why Writing a Book Changed Everything

Steve Fredlund never planned to be a speaker. He spent 25+ years as an actuary, built a stable corporate life, and assumed that was “the deal.” Then he hit a crossroads, started saying yes to small (often free) talks, and slowly stacked momentum into a real speaking career. In this clip, Steve breaks down the part most people miss, writing a book didn’t just give him something to sell. It changed how event planners saw him. A book moved him from “consultant who might pitch from stage” to “credible thought leader,” and it helped him clarify his message, sharpen his identity, and build a platform that actually books. If you’re building a speaking career, or you’re a founder/expert trying to turn your ideas into authority, this is the path, no hype, no gimmicks, just reps, craft, relationships, and a book that becomes a credibility asset.
