Why I Built Talkadot
Hi, I’m Arel. And I Was SHOULD-ing on My Speaking Business Too.
Growing up in the projects of Brooklyn, NY I learned early on how words can either break you down or build you up.
When I was younger, I got made fun of because I looked different than most kids in my neighborhood. I had a white Jewish Mom, and a Black Jamaican Father. My mixed background got made fun of, a lot.
I’ve gotten so low that I didn’t want to keep going. And in those low moments, I’ve had the right words said at the right time pull me out of the darkest of places, push me to graduate high school, go to college, and change my life.
Because professional speaking is the fastest, most powerful way to change someone’s life.
But figuring out how to get booked and paid to do it? That felt like a black box.
I knew that if I could crack the code, I could impact more people—and that’s what mattered most to me. So I made this my mantra:
"Do what most people won’t, so you can have what most people don’t."
And with that mindset, I built a 7-figure speaking business. I’ve spoken at the White House twice, on the TEDx stage three times, and speaking got me a show for Disney+.
🚨 But here’s what sucks...
After every speech, it felt like I was starting from zero.
I knew I should capture audience feedback. I knew I should be collecting testimonials. I knew I had to turn each talk into more business.
But the reality? I was SHOULD-ing all over my speaking business.
Even though I love this industry, it felt so manual, exhausting, and difficult to keep momentum going.
💡 That’s when it hit me.
What if I could automate the most important drivers of my business?
What if I could capture social proof, generate spinoff business, build my list and create marketing materials automatically—right from the audience?
At worst? I’d have a secret weapon for my own speaking business.
At best? We could change the entire speaking industry.
So, alongside a team way smarter than me, we built Talkadot.

💬 What Speakers Are Saying About Talkadot:
I've been using Talkadot for over a year and it is one of my favorite business tools. It allows participants in my speaking events to give me direct feedback and it identifies among those people who is interested in booking or referring me for other speaking events. The reinforcing loop of opportunity generation is outstanding
If you do paid or unpaid presentations and want to do more, Talkadot is a great tool. You also get immediate feedback from audience members which is super-useful, and you get a link to share audience comments with whoever hired you to speak, which is a great sales tool for re-engagements.
Talkadot has totally helped me build an email list where I've never been able to build one before. It has also helped me get fantastic data about my keynotes as well as immediate testimonials, booking leads as well as referrals. It has literally changed my speaking business.
As a professional speaker, I appreciate the real-time feedback I'm able to garner from audience members via Talkadot because it helps me know how and what aspects of my message are and are not resonating with audiences.
Talkadot is the tool that SMART speakers use. Listen, you can go old school and TRY to collect feedback forms from your attendees. If you've ever done this, you know you never get enough of them completed. Or you can use Talkadot which totally streamlines the process AND continues to upgrade and uplevel the internal services that they offer for speakers. Love them and can't talk highly enough about the platform.
I just used it to counteract the lone voice who did not find my speech actionable. I shared with the meeting professional, well that individual was probably part of the 4% who did not and not the 96% who did. It was not a slam, I just had data.
