Session Synopsis

How do you go from stay-at-home-mom to award-winning activist filmmaker, top 100 podcaster, and sought-after international speaker?

In this intimate hour with Denise Soler Cox, author of the upcoming book What Will They Say? (Atria, Simon and Schuster, 2026), you will sit down with a leading voice on belonging.

Denise has been invited to speak on over 400 stages and has worked with some of the world’s most recognized brands (including Ralph Lauren, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and JP Morgan). She’s been featured in Forbes.com, and on NBC Nightly News, CNN, PBS, NBC Latino, Chicago Tribune, Telemundo, Univision, Fox News Latino, HOLA, and the Huffington Post.

It’s super hard to get time with Denise, but we get a whole hour with her to find out:

  • What’s at stake and why you should (or shouldn’t) tell the family secrets in your book.
  • How to get discovered, and what it’s like to go from overnight screenwriting sensation to being picked up by a Big Four Publisher.
  • Building the big phat author platform organically.
  • How not to get sued when writing about people you know (and love).
