Inside the Speakeasy Podcast - Your Key to Hidden Strategies & Success Stories from Top Entrepreneurs
Welcome to Inside the Speakeasy—the entrepreneur podcast that hands you the keys to rooms most never get access to.
Hosted by Eric Berman, this show is for founders, startup builders, marketers, and empire-minded creators who are done with surface-level noise and ready to unlock the hidden strategies, pivotal success stories, and raw truths behind elite business growth.
This is your key to the real game—the unfiltered conversations happening behind closed doors, at mastermind retreats, in late-night deal rooms, and during the “what the hell do I do now?” breakdowns that never make it to LinkedIn.
You’ll hear from the scrappiest, boldest, most unreasonably driven entrepreneurs in the U.S.—the ones who are scaling to 7–8 figures, failing forward, innovating under pressure, and rewriting the rules of success while no one’s watching.
No recycled advice. No fake “10X hacks.” Just what’s actually working right now—from people actually doing it.
Because let’s be honest:
You’re doing well.
You’re sharp.
But deep down… you know you’re still playing small.
So stop chasing comfort.
You’re not here for safe.
You’re here to evolve.
This is Inside the Speakeasy.
And once you’re in…
You don’t go back.

The Hidden Income Opportunities in Public Speaking No One Tells You About
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn't through more marketing, but by mastering the power of your voice?
In this episode of Inside The Speakeasy, Eric Berman sits down with business coach & creator of The Public Speaker Payday Method, Orly Amor to uncover why public speaking remains one of the most powerful tools for building authority, attracting opportunities, and creating lasting impact. Together, Eric and Dr. Orly discuss the importance of authenticity, preparation, storytelling, and confidence, while revealing how entrepreneurs can leverage speaking opportunities to grow their businesses, expand their influence, and leave a meaningful legacy.
Key Takeaways:
→ Public speaking is one of the most effective ways to establish credibility and accelerate business growth.
→ Authenticity creates stronger connections than trying to sound perfect or polished.
→ Every entrepreneur has a story that can educate, inspire, and create meaningful opportunities.
→ Preparation builds confidence and allows speakers to focus on serving their audience instead of managing their fear.
→ The most impactful presentations are designed to create transformation rather than simply deliver information.
Amor is also the founder of the You Are My Light Foundation & Trust, which supports and empowers survivors of human trafficking. Today, Orly equips purpose-driven professionals with the strategies and confidence to grow their businesses, amplify their message, and create lasting change through public speaking.
