Building Visibility or Someone Else’s Business? Guest Appearance Legal Pitfalls and Power Moves

Welcome back to the Featured and Fully Protected mini-series on the C-Suite Legal Lounge podcast! In today’s episode, host Tonia Fisher dives into the hidden risks and rewards of being a guest on someone else’s platform. What starts as an exciting collaboration or guest spot can quickly shift if you haven’t clarified the terms—your words, image, and expertise could end up fueling someone else’s brand or products, sometimes without your knowledge or benefit. Tonia breaks down four real-world scenarios where guest appearances can blur legal and branding lines, from your segment becoming part of a paid course, to your name being used in promotions, and even being denied the right to share your own contributions. Tune in as she shares the crucial questions you should ask before saying yes to any feature, and why protecting your voice and credibility is not just smart—it’s strategic.
