Spice Up Your Speaking Business with Frank Kitchen, CSP — June 13, 2026

In this Guest Speaker Spotlight, Sam Osborne sits down with Frank Kitchen, CSP — the "Chef of Success" — ahead of his Saturday morning session at Manhattan Beach Studios. Frank built his speaking career on a simple truth: passion doesn't pay the bills — consistent sales do.

We dig into the Father's Day weekend in 2015 that changed everything, why most emerging speakers celebrate too soon and market too little, and the three things every speaker needs working on Monday morning — a findable web presence, real platform video, and a 100-person warm network you've actually educated about what you do.

Frank's core message: people book people they know and trust. Check your cupboard before you call DoorDash.

Catch Frank live — Saturday, June 13, 2026 | 9:00 AM–12:00 PM | Manhattan Beach Studios. Members free. Guests & West Coast Alliance $45. Photo ID required.

His advice? "Get involved. That's really it."

Shout out to Sheri Fitts who is the reason Nick is in the National Speakers Association
