Founding Family Membership

Sustain a successful speaking business,
without figuring it out alone.

A group of professional speakers building their businesses through action, accountability, and authentic relationships, together.

Larry Long Jr. and Taylor Lunin, hosts of The Abundant Speaker

The unspoken part

There’s a part of the speaking business most speakers navigate alone.

What often happens behind the scenes

  • ×Inconsistent bookings, even with strong performance.
  • ×Growth that feels reactive instead of intentional.
  • ×Important decisions made without trusted input.
  • ×Too many ideas, not enough clarity.
  • ×Momentum that comes and goes.

What becomes possible with the right community

  • Consistency built through clearer strategy and structure.
  • Better decisions made with perspective and support.
  • A space to ask better questions and pressure-test ideas.
  • Focus on what actually moves the business forward.
  • Momentum that compounds over time.

In the right environment, you don’t have to figure everything out alone, and that changes how you move.

The four A's

What The Abundant Speaker is built on.

Action

We don’t just talk about ideas, we put them into motion.

Accountability

We do what we say we’re going to do, and we support each other along the way.

Appreciation

We lead with gratitude, recognizing the work, the growth, and each other.

Abundance

We show up generously, believing there’s enough room for all of us to grow.

Meet your hosts

Two people committed to the work, and to you.

Larry Long Jr.

Larry Long Jr.

Chief of Relationships

If you’ve spent any time around Larry Long Jr., you know the energy is real. Known as LinkedIn Larry, he’s our Chief of Relationships and someone who genuinely cares about people in this industry.

Larry helps teams, leaders, and associations turn energy into execution and relationships into real revenue, but more than that, he helps people show up with intention. Inside this community, he brings that same commitment to his peers.

Larry recently earned his CSP and will be walking across the stage this July at NSA’s Influence.

Chief of Connection

A lot of speakers don’t have a speaking problem. They have a business problem. That’s the work Tay cares about.

With 13+ years in the speaking industry behind the scenes, Tay knows what actually goes into building a business around the stage, and what quietly gets in the way. She helps speakers bring structure to what can feel scattered, make clearer decisions, and build something that actually supports their life.

Inside this community, Tay’s focused on connection. Creating space for honest conversations and making sure no one’s trying to figure this out alone.

How it works

Progress happens when there’s structure behind it, and people beside you.

This is the rhythm you’ll move through each month.

Week 1

Action Hour

One focused topic, voted on by members. We introduce the skill, talk through what actually matters, sometimes bring in outside perspective. You leave knowing what to work on and why it matters.

Week 2

Mindset with Larry

The raw mindset challenges of being a speaker. Confidence, consistency, the mental side of building a successful speaking business. The part most people navigate in silence.

Week 3

Accountability Hour

Momentum becomes visible. You come back having taken action, share what happened, work through what didn't. Wins, resistance, roadblocks. You are not navigating any of it alone.

Week 4

Strategy with Tay

The business side. Bring what you’re building, what’s unclear, what you’re trying to figure out. Tay helps you think it through and makes sure you leave with a clear next step.

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know.

Who’s this community for?

Professional speakers who are already in the game and want more consistency, clearer strategy, and a stronger business behind their message. If you’re committed to growth, open to feedback, and willing to take action, you’ll feel right at home.

Who’s this not for?

This isn’t for brand-new speakers, or anyone looking for shortcuts, quick wins, or guaranteed bookings. It’s also not a space for self-promotion or pitching.

Is this just access to Larry and Tay?

No. While you’ll learn from and engage with both of us, the value of this community is the room itself. You’ll be surrounded by other speakers navigating similar challenges who support, challenge, and grow alongside you.

What happens between weekly sessions?

You’ll have access to a private community space where conversations continue and support is ongoing. You’re not waiting a week to get unstuck.

Do I get direct or unlimited access to Larry and Tay?

No. This isn’t an “always-on” access model. You’ll have consistent access through live sessions and community engagement, but we maintain clear boundaries to protect the quality of the space.

Is 1-on-1 support included?

No. 1:1 support isn’t included in the membership. It’s available as an additional investment, and Founding Family members have access to preferred pricing if they choose to explore it.

Will sessions be recorded?

Action Hours are recorded so you can stay aligned with the monthly focus. Group Coaching and Accountability Hours are not recorded, by design, so members can show up openly and honestly.

Will there be in-person events?

Right now, everything is virtual. As the community grows, we may explore in-person opportunities based on interest and member feedback.

How are topics chosen each month?

Topics are shaped by the community. Members vote on upcoming focus areas, keeping what we cover relevant, timely, and actually useful.

What does it mean to be Founding Family?

Founding Family members join early, before the full launch, and help shape the culture and direction of the community. As long as you remain active and in good standing, your Founding rate is locked in and will not increase.

What kinds of topics do we cover?

The parts of the speaking business most people figure out alone. Getting in front of the right audiences. Better conversations that lead to real opportunities. Pipeline that does not rely on referrals alone. Plus what happens beyond the stage, strengthening your message, improving how you show up, creating a client experience that leads to repeat work.

Still unsure?

That’s okay. Reach out. We’re happy to connect, answer questions, and help you make the best decision.

A different kind of room

We’re different than most groups you’ve joined.

This isn’t something you sign up for and passively consume. It’s a space you show up to. A place where you think out loud, take action, and follow through over time.

You won’t get instant results from one session. But if you engage consistently, bring honest questions and real work, and stay in the process, you’ll build clarity, momentum, and a speaking business that feels more sustainable.

Join as Founding Family

This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about doing the work in a room where you’re not doing it alone.
