brittany Hodak

An audience member once described her style as “a mix between a really funny standup comedian and a really smart professor.”

In the five years she’s been speaking full-time (after selling her eight-figure startup agency), Brittany has spoken to nearly 40,000 audience members across hundreds of events. Whether she’s in front of 10 people or 10,000, she approaches every event as the most important one of her career – because she’s obsessed with giving everyone the tools to turn customers into superfans. 

In 2025, Brittany earned her CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) designation from the National Speakers Association — the highest earned credential in the speaking industry. Fewer than 17% of professional speakers worldwide hold the CSP, reflecting a proven track record of excellence, professionalism, and measurable impact.
