Speaking is the most lucrative business I've ever been in. I had 340 inbound requests for speaking. I accepted 30 of them. I average $112,000 per speaking engagement. It's a ton of fun. I get to go to interesting places. I get to pick the most interesting, cool ones. If I'm a MasterCard and they're spending $150,000 to have me speak for an hour in Barcelona, which I did last week, you can't just show up and be Scott Galloway. I've got to be a guy who finds these incredibly smart people to pull data together and that do a great job on my design team. Greatness is in the agency of others, and I have an impact. I talk a lot about struggling young men, which is something I'm passionate about, and it's really rewarding. I feel like I'm having a difference. I kind of feel like it's my victory lap right now.
