158: Speaking Special with Sophie-Jane Lee, Sandra Garlick MBE, Alfie Joey and Kamal Ellis-Hyman

This week's episode of Beyond the Bio is a bit different. With summer in full swing, Sophie has pulled together some of her favourite conversations on a theme that comes up on the show again and again: speaking. Whether you're prepping for conference season, weighing up your first panel, or wondering if speaking could actually grow your business, this compilation draws on insight from four guests who've built real careers on a stage.

In this episode, we cover:
