You have many choices for your next keynote speaker, but none will be quite like Dan. Here's why: 


  • His background is legit. Most of your choices are career speakers or consultants, but Dan has practical experience in the trenches as an executive at three Fortune 300 companies.
  • His examples are all real. No pontificating about theoretical situations. Instead, Dan shares tons of real-life customer experiences – most with pictures shot from his own phone.
  • Every presentation is customized. With Dan's vast library of real-life customer experience examples, no two presentations are exactly alike so yours will be personalized to your audience.
  • No reading slides. There's nothing worse than a speaker with long, boring slides that the audience hopelessly tries to digest. Dan's presentation is almost entirely visual.
  • He's easy to work with. No extravagant demands for first-class travel or Evian on ice. Dan is reachable, responsive and generous with his time – including pre- and post-event meetings. 
  • He goes above and beyond. Many speakers arrive at an event, deliver their speech and leave. Dan intentionally blocks at least a full day for networking, book signing, live tweeting and more.
  • He's just a cool guy. Ask him about delivering a pizza to Michael Jordan, singing the National Anthem at three Major League ballparks, obtaining his bartender's license and pinball wizardry.
