It started just b- begging college professors for five minutes of time before class to tell students about what I was doing, then that turned into 10 minutes of time, and then when I figured out that I can not just give an elevator pitch about me and what I'm doing, but also the takeaways for other people and what they can learn and what they can pull into their lives, then things started happening on the speaking circuit.
