You already know what bold moves you need to take.
This is the week you stop knowing and start doing — with a room full of people who've been exactly where you are.
Hosted by Jennie + Meredyth
We are hosting Astonish Yourself Summit!

Thank you for your interest in speaking at Astonish Yourself Summit.
Too many talented entrepreneurs struggle because they keep holding themselves back from the big swings that could change everything. And often, even the most impatiently ambitious people have a particularly hard time getting out of their own way because they just want to do everything "right."
Recognizing you're the bottleneck in your own business is one thing. Knowing what to do about it is another. 🙃
These entrepreneurs need to be surrounded by other entrepreneurs who've been exactly where they are — people who've taken bold moves to change all that and have the receipts to show for it.
That's where you come in!
The goal isn't just to inspire people or teach them something new. It's to help them see what's possible from your perspective — and commit to making a bold move they've been avoiding for months (or years).
So that when they finally write the book, or host the summit, or create that framework, or apply to speak, or raise those prices — they astonish themselves by actually doing it.
And we're so excited that you want to be part of this!
On this page, you'll find everything you need to know about applying to be one of our speakers. If you run into a question we didn't answer, email us at hello@jennieandmeredyth.com.
What we're looking for...
We're looking for speakers to share a 10-20ish minute pre-recorded presentation that helps our collective audiences see more possibility and take bolder action.
We want speakers who can share:
What's possible — What do you see as possible in this entrepreneurship that most people don't realize? What opportunities are they missing?
Your insights and approach — What are your experiences in making bold moves yourself? What works? What roadblocks should we avoid?
Your area of expertise — What do you know deeply? What bold moves have you made in this area that we can learn from?
Everyone earns confidence by taking action. By committing to bolder actions than we thought we were capable of.
Actions that feel astonishing.
That's what this summit is about.
It's also very important to us that we feature a diverse range of speakers in terms of race, nationality, gender, abilities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
The Bold Moves We're Talking About
These are the kinds of bold moves attendees want to take on, but need our support to tackle themselves:
Writing and publishing a book
Hosting their own summit, conference, or retreat
Creating a signature framework or methodology
Getting more comfortable with selling
Starting their own podcast or YouTube channel
Raising their prices across the board
Doing less done-for-you work to focus on your signature program
Pitching to get featured in media or podcasts
Applying to speak at major conferences or events
Firing a client who's not a good fit
Nailing down their messaging
Pivoting their business model or focus to what they really want to do
(These are just a handful of examples, but you get the gist.)
We would love to curate a delightful mix of speaker presentations that inspire, motivate, and equip summit attendees to take these kinds of bigger leaps forward in their businesses.
So if you have specific expertise and/or experience to share, we want to hear from you.
What We're NOT Looking For...
To be super clear, here's the kind of speaker applications we're NOT looking for:
Using AI. Every other summit under the sun is covering AI right now. We're not looking for presentations about AI tools, prompt engineering, custom GPTs or how to use AI in your business. (Unless your entire business is about AI and you're helping people make a bold move in that specific space.)
Business tasks. Things like implementing a CRM, creating email sequences, setting up your website, or organizing your project management system are just... business tasks. Not bold moves. This summit isn't about productivity hacks or getting more done faster. It's about committing to the scary stuff that actually transforms your business.
If your presentation is about any of these topics, this probably isn't the right fit.
About your hosts…
In case we haven’t met yet, we are Jennie + Meredyth. 👋🏻

Jennie Mustafa-Julock

Meredyth Mustafa-Julock
We work with entrepreneurs with impatient ambition…people - like YOU - who have done great things, but want waaay more, and it's just not happening fast enough. We help you actually accomplish what matters most to you so that you can get farther, faster!
We are also married business partners who run our two-woman empire from the road in our beautiful 28' Airstream trailer with our adorable 4-pound pup-pup, Sadie.
Here's what we're bringing to the party...
Throughout the summit, we'll be talking about how their inner critic (who we lovingly dubbed "Hilda") is so damn good at keeping them safe, stuck, and stifled in their comfort zones — and what they can do to break through that inner naysaying and actually ASTONISH THEMSELVES.
Between your expertise and our Hilda-wrangling, we're co-creating something really special.
We'll also be hosting lots of live experiences throughout the summit to give everyone involved a sense of community and tangible support to make it all happen.

How the event will work…
The word summit can look like a lot of things in the online entrepreneur space, so let us make it super-duper clear how ours is going to go:
Astonish Yourself Summit is a free virtual 7-day summit that will run from Monday, May 4th through Sunday, May 10th, 2026.
Each speaker will produce a 10-20ish minute pre-recorded presentation to share with our attendees. Your presentation should share your expertise in a way that helps attendees see more possibility and commit to bolder action.
Tickets to participate in the summit are FREE (with an option to upgrade the ticket — more on that in a moment). The promotion period will start on Monday, April 20th, 2026.
On the first day of the summit, we will drop all of the pre-recorded presentations so free attendees have seven full days to watch and engage. They'll also receive access to our virtual swag bag with contributions from our sponsors.
We'll also host several live experiences throughout the week of the summit, giving you more opportunity to get in front of our attendees, including our very popular panel discussions. These sessions are where Jennie facilitates fun-yet-impactful conversations amongst speakers and sponsors on key summit-related topics. You'll be invited to participate in the topic (and time) that works best for you. We'll also host Green Rooms, afterparties via Zoom that happen immediately following each livestreamed event to give everyone (including attendees) the opportunity to continue the conversation in a more casual setting.
Attendees will have the opportunity to upgrade their tickets to an All-Access Pass for a small fee. This pass gives them lifetime access to the speakers' presentations and access to a bunch of other perks and bonuses provided by our speakers, sponsors, and us.
The collective audience for the summit will come from the combined promotional efforts of us (Jennie + Meredyth), our speakers, and our affiliates. We'll provide promo material to make that part fun and easy.
What We Need From You…
If you're interested in being one of our speakers, here's what we need from you:
Basics: We’ll need some basic information so we can tell everyone all about you and your genius — bio, headshot, links, etc.
Presentation: Your pre-recorded presentation needs to be between 10-20 minutes, including your up to 2-minute pitch of your freebie opt-in offer. Full presentation instructions will be shared, including prompts and suggested presentation format/flow.
Promo requirement: During the main promo period (April 20th - May 4th) you agree to send...
At least 1 dedicated/solo email to your full email list promoting the event.
At least 2 social media posts where your largest/most engaged audience is promoting the event.
We’ll provide full templated swipe copy and graphics to make this requirement incredibly easy to implement.
Plus the following totally optional, but strongly encouraged, opportunities are available to you…
Premium resource: Speakers will be invited to contribute a premium resource (read: not something that's already available for free on your website) that's highly relevant to our collective audience. This is a bonus opportunity to gain additional email subscribers from All-Access Passholders who opt to snag your bonus.
Panels: You'll also be invited to participate in one of the speaker panel discussions hosted by us for additional visibility to our summit audience.
What You'll Get in Return…
1. Exposure to our collective audience.
You'll be featured alongside other amazing speakers, and you'll have the opportunity to connect with established entrepreneurs who are ready to take action. You'll have the opportunity to promote a freebie opt-in to get participants on to your email list. This will hopefully result in lots of new subscribers who are excited to lear more about what you do.
2. 40% affiliate commissions
You will receive 40% commission for anyone who purchases the all-access pass through your affiliate link. Your referrals will also be cookie'd in our affiliate system to give you 30% commission on most of our other offers (including our ALL IN, ALL YEAR™ annual pass that we're launching at the end of the week).
3. A complimentary All-Access Pass
We are finalizing what will be included in the all-access pass (including what we will actually call the pass), but it will certainly include lifetime access to the presentations, a private podcast feed of the event, and a mini-bundle of highly relevant resources contributed by our speakers and sponsors.
4. A repurposable presentation
The presentation you create for this summit will live in the all-access pass, but the brilliance inside is yours. You're free to repurpose your presentation however you wish in your own work (free and paid).
5. Exposure and visibility
If you’re actively seeking opportunities to grow your audience, expand your reach, and raise your profile, this is a fantastic opportunity for you. Being a speaker at our Astonish Yourself Summit is going to let you get in front of an audience of impatiently ambitious entrepreneurs who are itching to make things happen… and who knows where that might lead. It's also be a powerful nurture opportunity for your existing audience to learn even more about you and your work.
This is the third summit we're hosting, but the first-ever Astonish Yourself Summit. In our annual Make It Happen Summit™, we had 1,095 participants register in 2024 and 1,245 in 2025.
What’s in it for US…
And to keep things on the up and up, here's what's in it for us: new folks joining our community, sales from our All-Access Pass, income from sponsorships, and the super fun chance to put together an impactful event. This event not only supports our existing audience, but also expands the impact of our work.
We're also doing a launch of our ALL IN, ALL YEAR™ offer on the heels of the summit.
Plus, we're excited about the new friendships we get to make in our industry while recruiting speakers and sponsors.
Before you ask…
We know that there are lots of different kinds of collaborative events out here in the online space with lots of different rules and norms. So we thought we’d proactively make some things crystal clear about how ours will roll…
We will be choosing our speakers based on the quality of the applications and what we think will create the strongest mix of presentations to create the best possible experience for our audience.
We will require your help with promotion. Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all super-duper easy (and dare we say, fun)!
Participation in the live speaker panel discussions is totally optional, but encouraged. Dates, times, and discussion topics will be shared closer to the summit.
Yes, you can also apply to be a sponsor if you’re a speaker! Please do!
Yes, you can pitch us more than one topic to speak on, but please include them all in one application form.
Affiliate details...
While summits like ours are fabulous opportunities for gaining visibility, growing your list, and making new connections, a little extra cash never hurts either, right?

The commission structure is as follows:
40% for all speakers
25% for all other affiliates
To make it as easy as possible for you to spread the word about our event, we will provide you a vault of resources that includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics.
And again, since we're doing a launch of our ALL IN, ALL YEAR™ offer at the end of the summit, you'll also receive 30% commission on any sales you refer.
