223: How Conference Budgets Impact Who Gets Paid (And Who Doesn’t) ft. Christina Olivarez

The Laylee Emadi Podcast — For Speakers, Coaches, and Course Creators

Ever wondered why some speakers get paid and others don’t? This episode spills the truth.

In this honest, behind-the-scenes convo with Christina Olivarez, founder of Hustle + Socialize, we dig into what it really takes to build a sustainable event—especially when it comes to speaker pay. This is a raw and real look at how Christina balances value with budget, and what she’s learned the hard way about selecting speakers, funding through sponsorship, and what she expects from those who take her stage.

This episode comes from a segment of my interview with Christina as part of a series with event hosts inside my Sought After Speaker System course.
