Access. Influence. Opportunity.

Dom LeRoux will attend Secret Knock 2027, an exclusive three-day networking experience in San Diego bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, innovators, celebrities, athletes, authors, and other influential minds from around the world.

Described by Secret Knock as the “#1 networking event in the world,” the experience is built around access, meaningful conversations, unexpected connections, and the opportunities that can emerge when accomplished people from very different industries come together. Previous Secret Knock speakers and guests have included billion-dollar company founders, Grammy and Oscar winners, astronauts, inventors, professional athletes, prominent entrepreneurs, and global leaders.

For Dom, the experience represents an opportunity to continue putting his Create Value First philosophy into practice: meet extraordinary people, create genuine value without leading with an ask, build trust and relationships, and discover what opportunities can grow from those connections.

TEDx Talk: We Have Opportunity Backwards.

Dom LeRoux will take the TEDxOconomowoc stage to present “We Have Opportunity Backwards,” a talk that challenges the conventional belief that opportunity must come first.

Instead, Dom proposes a different order: create value first, build trust and relationships without expecting anything in return, and discover what opportunities can emerge as a result. Drawing from his experience as an award-winning author, e-commerce growth executive, and speaker, Dom will explore how a value-first approach can change the way we think about opportunity in business, relationships, and everyday life.

TEDxOconomowoc returns for its second annual event with 13 speakers taking the stage for an intimate audience at the Oconomowoc Arts Center, bringing together bold ideas, personal stories, and perspectives designed to challenge assumptions and inspire meaningful conversations.

Most authors work hard to attract readers, but getting someone to a website is only the beginning. In this practical 15-minute class, Dom LeRoux will be speaking to authors how to strengthen their Google presence and turn their author website into a tool for building an audience they own.

Attendees will learn how to identify missed opportunities in Google search, improve how their author brand appears online, and create a simple path for capturing and building relationships with the 97–99% of website visitors who may not purchase on their first visit.

The goal is simple: attendees will leave knowing what they can begin improving immediately to turn greater visibility into audience growth, stronger relationships, future book sales, and long-term opportunities.

Speaking Topic:

Why Most Authors Are Leaving Money on the Table — And How Their Website Fixes It

Most authors spend months or years writing a book, then send readers to Amazon and other marketplaces to complete the purchase. Those platforms provide visibility, but authors give up margin and often lose the direct relationship with their readers.

In this practical session, Dom LeRoux shows authors how selling books through their own website can increase profitability, grow an owned audience, and create revenue opportunities beyond book sales.

Attendees will learn:

- Why every author should own their audience instead of renting one

- How selling books directly can significantly increase profit per sale
- The hidden costs of relying exclusively on Amazon and other marketplaces
- How to capture and grow an email list of readers and fans
- How to build lasting relationships that lead to repeat purchases and future opportunities
- Ways to create additional revenue through digital products, courses, coaching, consulting, speaking, memberships, and more.

A book should be more than a one-time sale. It should be the foundation of a brand, a business, and a community. This session will show authors how to make that happen.
