Welcome to the TCIL C-Suite and Legal Lounge™ podcast Featured and Fully Protected mini-series! In this episode, host and intellectual property attorney Tonia Fisher dives into a crucial topic for anyone building their brand in the digital age: who really owns your voice when you’re featured on someone else’s panel, podcast, or event?

Tonia breaks down the common misconception that being featured automatically gives you rights to your own content. She explains that, without a clear agreement, the host or organizer often controls the footage, audio, and promotional materials—sometimes leaving you with little to no access to your own contributions.

Packed with practical legal tips, Tonia shares the essential questions you should ask before saying “yes” to any guest appearance. She guides you on how to request access to recordings, control how your name and image are used, and protect your content through simple contract clauses. And if your clips are already out there without your consent? Tonia tells you exactly how to approach the situation and advocate for your rights.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or just starting to step into the spotlight, this episode will give you the tools to protect your ideas, your image, and your brand. Tune in to learn how to turn your appearances into real, protected assets—and how being proactive about your rights sets you up for future success.
