When Sarasota SpeaX, everyone listens.
Sarasota isn't the town you think it is. Every week, the SpeaX podcast sits down with the entrepreneurs, builders and characters who prove it, 160+ conversations and counting.
A local show with a real audience
The perception of Sarasota doesn't match the reality.
Say "Sarasota" and people picture a quiet, affluent retirement town. Live here and you know better: this place is full of people building, opening, coaching, cooking and fixing things. SpeaX exists to put them on the record, every week, one conversation at a time. Start with the archive →
Real Sarasota, one conversation at a time
The guests
Entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, athletes, artists, public servants, characters. People with a story, not just a job title: the fired magician who built a suit empire out of a box truck, the five failed businesses that became a donut shop.
The format
Weekly, filmed in our Sarasota studio, about 30 to 45 minutes, one take. Rapid Fire questions, the roundabout question, and whatever the guest didn't expect us to ask.
Where to watch
Full episodes on YouTube, audio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and everywhere else, clips on Shorts, Instagram and TikTok. Always free, never paywalled.
