A three-month room for founders ready to turn their story into a brand that gets them booked.
One day you will either sit in the life where you never did it, or you will tell the story of how one brave decision changed everything. This is how you tell that story.
You already lived it. The reinvention, the risk, the thing you built from nothing. Most founders sit on that story instead of building with it. It stays a good anecdote at a dinner party instead of becoming the asset that gets you on stages, into podcasts, and in front of the clients who pay premium rates without blinking.
I built West Rose Media on my story, and I have spent years as a content and brand photographer and videographer turning founders' stories into the visuals that actually get them booked. I know exactly what it takes, on the page and on camera, to turn a real story into a brand people hire. When Instagram deleted seven years of my content overnight, I rebuilt from zero on the strength of my story alone. That account is closing in on 1.2M views.
INFLUENCE is where you get both. We build the brand and write and perfect the keynote, then bring in a full professional photography and videography crew for an in-person shoot day: you deliver that keynote live on a real stage, record a podcast, and walk away with studio-quality footage and a speaker reel built by a content expert, not a phone camera from the back of a room. Then we teach you how to get booked with it, again and again.
This is not about processing what happened to you. It is about using it, on purpose, to build the life and the business you actually want.
Begins August 28, 2026. Presale pricing ends August 17.
A great story sitting unused is not an asset. It is a missed booking.
Most founders have a story worth building a brand on and no plan for what to do with it. It lives in the "about me" page nobody reads, in the version you tell at dinner but never on a stage, in the pitch you have not written because you do not know who to send it to.
That gap costs you the keynote invite. It costs you the podcast booking. It costs you the client who would have signed at twice the rate if she had heard the real story instead of the generic one on your website.
The market rewards founders who turn their story into a brand and then go get booked with it. INFLUENCE is the room where you do both.
This is for you if
- •You have a real story. A reinvention, a risk you took, a version of your life you built on purpose. You know it is worth more than a highlight reel and you have not turned it into anything yet.
- •You want to get on stages and podcasts, but you have no keynote, no reel, and no plan for how to get booked once you have them.
- •You are building toward a book, a speaking career, a thought-leadership platform, and you need a brand and a story that can carry all three.
- •Your current brand does not reflect the life or the business you are actually building toward. You want to step into the next version with a plan, not guesswork.
- •You want the kind of authority that makes premium clients, collaborators, and stage opportunities come to you. You are done waiting for someone to notice.
What changes in three months
Right now
- •You know your story is powerful and you have no idea how to turn it into a brand people book.
- •You have no keynote, no speaker reel, no plan for pitching a stage or a podcast.
- •Your brand does not reflect the business or the life you are actually building toward.
- •You are playing a smaller public role than the one you are ready for.
- •You want to write a book, pitch a stage, land a podcast. Right now none of it is built to book from.
After INFLUENCE
- •You have a brand and a founder story that are sharp, specific, and built to open doors. Stages, podcasts, book deals, premium clients.
- •You have a finished, rehearsed keynote you can pitch anywhere.
- •You have delivered that keynote live, on stage, in front of a room, on film. You have a podcast recording that proves you can hold a mic.
- •You have a speaker reel built from real footage, not a phone recording from the back of a room.
- •You know exactly how to pitch that reel and get booked, on repeat, long after the program ends.
- •You are running the brand and the business you actually want, not the smaller version you settled for.
Inside Influence
This is not a content course. There are no Instagram caption templates here.
This is a room for founders ready to do the real work of turning a story into a brand. Finding the version of it that is true, powerful, and built to last. Building the language that makes people lean in. Then proving it on a real stage, on film.
I built West Rose Media on the back of my own story. It got me on some of the biggest stages I have ever stood on. It built a brand that attracts clients who would follow me anywhere. It is the reason I am writing a book right now. That is what a story can do for your business when you build it into a brand on purpose, instead of leaving it in a drawer.
That is what we do here.
What is included
- •Live calls across three months. Strategic working sessions where we excavate, refine, and pressure-test your story in real time.
- •Group support between calls. Bring your drafts, your pitches, your speaker bios, your about pages, your moments of doubt. You will not figure this out alone.
- •A structured story mapping process. We locate the moments that matter, decide what earns its place in your public narrative, and build a founder story that is both true and strategic.
- •Live hot seat refinement. Your language gets sharper every week. We work on how you introduce yourself, how you pitch a stage, how you open a keynote, how you answer "so what do you do" in a way that makes people lean in.
- •A written, rehearsed keynote. By the end of month two, your keynote is not a draft. It is finished and pressure-tested.
- •An in-person shoot day in Calgary (October 2026). You deliver your keynote live, on stage, in front of a room, and we film it. You also record a podcast episode, filmed. Travel and lodging to Calgary are on you; production is on us.
- •A speaker reel. Built from real stage and podcast footage. The asset every pitch, every stage application, every podcast booking request starts with from now on.
- •The booking play. After your keynote is written and your reel is cut, we teach you how to actually get booked with it. This is the piece almost every other program in this space, including the ones charging ten thousand dollars, stops short of.
- •A small, intentional room. Everyone in the room is navigating real transformation. You are not hiding in the background here.
- •Calls are recorded. Group support remains open for the full three months.
Writing the keynote was never the hard part.
Every high-end program in this space will get you to a polished keynote. Some of them charge ten thousand dollars to do it. Almost none of them tell you what to do the day after.
A finished keynote with nowhere to go is a document on your laptop. INFLUENCE does not stop there. Once your story is written and your reel is cut, we teach you how to pitch it, who to pitch it to, and how to actually get booked on the stages and podcasts you built it for.
That is the difference between a founder with a great story and a founder with a calendar full of bookings.
How it works
Three months. One small group. One clear through-line. Led by Stephanie Rose.
- Month 1 — ExcavateStory excavation and identity mapping. We locate what has shifted, name it precisely, and find the through-line of your evolution that is true, powerful, and built to open doors.
- Month 2 — ArchitectNarrative architecture and language refinement. We build the actual story, then write and pressure-test the keynote until it is airtight. The one you tell on a stage, in a podcast intro, in a book proposal, in a pitch.
- Month 3 — Step Into ItPublic positioning and presence. You travel to Calgary for our in-person shoot day, deliver your keynote live on stage, and record a podcast episode, both filmed. You walk away with a speaker reel built from that footage, and we teach you how to pitch it and get booked with it. Your return is deliberate, powerful, and entirely yours.
Who is leading this room
Stephanie Rose is the founder and creative director of West Rose Media. She took her own story, the reinvention, the risk, the life she rebuilt, and turned it into the brand that got her booked on the stages she stands on today.
The story is the reason clients choose her before she finishes a sentence. It is the spine of the book she is writing now. It is proof, not theory, that this works.
INFLUENCE is the room where she teaches founders to do the same with their own story: build the brand, get on the stage, and get booked again after.

Frequently asked questions
When does INFLUENCE start?
August 28, 2026. One cohort, twenty seats.What if I am not sure I am ready?
Readiness is the thing this program builds. If you have a real story and you know you have not done anything with it yet, that is enough. We build the readiness, the brand, and the plan inside the room, on the calls, in the reps.Is this about becoming an influencer?
No. This is about becoming visible in a way that aligns with your integrity and your leadership. Authority, not algorithm.What if I am going through something personal right now?
That is often exactly why this program works. Big life shifts create the most powerful stories. We make sure you share yours in a way that strengthens you, not in a way that bleeds in public.How much time does this require?
Each live call runs 60 minutes. Group support between calls. Story and language work between sessions. The goal is integration, not overwhelm.What is the shoot day?
In October 2026, the group meets in Calgary for one in-person day. You deliver your finished keynote live, on stage, in front of a room, and we film it. You also record a podcast episode, filmed. Both become the raw footage for your speaker reel. Travel and lodging to Calgary are on you; the production itself is included in your INFLUENCE investment.Will this help me speak on stages or grow my presence?
Yes, specifically. We build the story that gets you booked, the language that lands in a pitch, a filmed keynote and podcast recording, a speaker reel, and the presence that makes a room remember you. Then we teach you how to pitch it and get booked, which most programs at any price point stop short of.What if I am scared of judgment?
Everyone in the room understands that fear. Courage grows through repetition and support. By month three, the fear is still there and you have learned to walk past it, including on stage, on camera.What happens if I miss the August 17 presale deadline?
The price moves from $3,200 CAD to $4,800 CAD. The August 28 start date and twenty-seat cap stay the same either way.Is there a payment plan?
Through August 17: three monthly payments of $1,100 CAD or six monthly payments of $550 CAD. After August 17: three monthly payments of $1,650 CAD or six monthly payments of $825 CAD. All plans end before the program does. If you need a different structure, email admin@westrosemedia.com.
You already have the story. Now build the brand that gets you booked with it.
The life you want is on the other side of a brand built on your actual story and a real plan to get booked. INFLUENCE is the room where you build both.
