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 Silvana Pimentel — an immigrant entrepreneur, Chief AI Officer, sales leader, and TEDx speaker — to explore how AI, identity, and lived experience can become powerful tools for speakers and leaders. Silvana shares how she went from radio and television in Peru to rebuilding her voice in the U.S., overcoming fear around her accent, and ultimately turning what once felt like a limitation into her greatest speaking advantage. She also breaks down how AI can help overwhelmed professionals, speakers, and business owners reclaim time, clarity, and confidence. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need to sound like everyone else to belong on stage — your voice, your background, and your perspective are exactly what audiences are looking for. If you’re a speaker who wants to stand out, use AI intentionally, and communicate with confidence — this conversation will inspire you. ⭐ Join the community → Global Speakers Circle (Free Facebook Group): Connect with speakers, network, and get weekly tips.
