Ask The Expert: Patricia Fripp

Every NSA member has questions they can't get clean answers to. Pricing the next keynote. Restructuring the offer. Pitching the bigger client. Launching the podcast. Selling the second book. Building the consulting practice behind any of it.

Ask the Expert is the hour we built for exactly that.

Each month, a rotating panel of NSA pros sits down with you — live, online, members-only — and takes your real questions. No slides. No agenda. No filler. Just three working professionals who've solved the problem you're stuck on, and one focused hour to get you moving again.
