If you want to get booked on stages, podcasts, news segments, or events, you need more than a good message. You need proof. In this episode of ACES53, Ed Parcaut and Brian Galke welcome Sarah Strackhouse, founder of Strackhouse Media, for a conversation about media training, speaker assets, event production, speaker reels, podcast pitching, news pitching, on-camera confidence, authenticity, and how to show up like a professional. Sarah shares her background in news, reporting, anchoring, field producing, digital media, podcasting, and live-event production. She explains why speakers and business owners need assets like stage photos, B-roll, headshots, speaker reels, one-sheets, and credible online pages if they want to be taken seriously. The conversation also covers why blanket pitches do not work, why event organizers want to see real footage before booking speakers, and why authenticity often beats overproduced perfection.
