There are business theorists, and then there are those who have truly been there and done that. For more than 30 years, Troy Hazard has been captivating audiences around the world with hard-earned lessons drawn from a lifetime of real-world business experience.

An engaging and entertaining speaker, Troy combines practical business insight with compelling storytelling, sharing both the successes and setbacks that have shaped his career. Having owned 14 companies across a diverse range of industries, he has experienced just about every challenge a business owner can face. He has lived through the dark days of losing $1 million in a single week, while also building a company from startup to $50 million in annual revenue in under five years, and scaling another from $3 million to $35 million in just over three years.

Troy’s business interests have included a recording studio, advertising agency, pizza restaurant, real estate brokerage, property development company, franchise consulting business, and technology company. Most notably, he served as shareholder and Chairman of one of the world’s fastest-growing retail and service pool businesses, leading 1,500 employees across 160 retail stores and more than 600 mobile service units in three countries, before successfully exiting the business to private equity in 2022.

Audiences connect with Troy because he does not speak in theory. He speaks from experience. His presentations are filled with relatable stories, practical takeaways, and real-world strategies that leaders, entrepreneurs, franchise owners, and teams can immediately apply to their own businesses.

In addition to his business achievements, Troy is a highly respected media personality and business commentator. He hosted the Australian television program Don’t Come Monday and his own U.S.-based business talk show, Gettin’ Down 2 Business, on BizTV, reaching more than 40 million homes. He is also a regular co-host on The Big Biz Show, broadcast on BizTV and YTA Network into more than 100 million homes, while also being simulcast across major business radio networks to more than 1.5 million listeners each week.

Today, Troy is Chairman of Sales Star, a global sales transformation business operating in six countries, and Chairman of Easil, where he is helping guide the company’s strategic expansion in the United States, and Chairman of Hanubu, an aggregator of auto garages in the UK. He has also launched an ambitious new venture in Australia targeting the residential electrical services sector, with plans to grow the business from startup to $120 million in revenue in under five years.

Whether speaking to a small leadership team or a packed conference audience, Troy delivers a unique combination of credibility, energy, humor, and practical insight that leaves audiences informed, inspired, and ready to take action!

"Troy delivered his virtual experience to our group of franchisors with amazing impact. Immediately after the event I had people emailing me to say thank you for such great relevant information. Troy had their attention from start to finish. His leadership insights were spot on, especially the real-life examples of what our franchisors could do in their business TODAY to navigate this crisis. Outstanding!"

"Troy's unique approach to a virtual meeting was both timely, and highly informative. In a time of so much uncertainty, our owners appreciated the opportunity to learn tactics they can implement today to help them prepare their businesses for success post-pandemic. I could almost hear them taking notes! This was not just a keynote, this was a highly engaging event that was just what our owners needed."

Troy Hazard's presentation on how to Future-Proof Your Business was fantastic! I think his high energy delivery and actionable content had an impact on all of us. It certainly did on me. It was impressed how nuggets from his session continued to be discussed throughout the conference. Troy has a unique way of making learning fun while delivering concrete steps that can help transform any business. If you are seeking to catapult your franchisees into a new way of thinking, I recommend Troy

Troy delivered a highly effective and engaging presentation as part of the US SMB Keynote Address at the 2012 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Toronto. He was able to align to the key themes of our overall program while bringing his own flavor and keeping his agenda highly relevant to our audience. His anecdotes landed well thanks to a great balance of business acumen, energy and humor. I've received tremendously positive feedback from our attendees who found Troy's presentation to be enjoyable and applicable to their own businesses. Above all, I personally enjoyed working with Troy. It's a tall task to energize an audience at 8:30 in the morning on the final day of a week-long conference, but Troy pulled it off, and I'd recommend him to any organization seeking to inspire a "conscious change"!

In the 16 years we have been booking speakers, Troy Hazard is by far and away the very best convention speaker we have ever had. His session went way beyond my expectations and our franchisees LOVED him! They continued to talk about Troy's message for the rest of the event and we are still hearing about how great they thought he was. The thing that impressed me the most was Troy's extensive preparation. The effort that he put forth to really understand our culture and the objectives we set for the conference and the coming year was fantastic.

Troy really hit it out of the park! He listened to understand the theme and message that we wanted to deliver from an overall conference and content perspective and hit it on all cylinders. Troy has unique, real-world experience both as a franchisor and franchisee, as well as consulting with franchisors around the world—he's "been there, done that" in franchising. He spent the time on the front end leading into the conference finding out our objectives, and then determining how his message and what he's passionate about fit together to create a meaningful experience for the audience. And so, it wasn't about him, it was about them. Rather than theory or an esoteric type delivery, Troy delivers real world franchise perspective, and it really made a difference, really made a difference. I heard that from a number of our attendees. So, I just can't recommend Troy highly enough. If you're looking for a keynote speaker, give serious and strong consideration to Troy Hazard, because he brings it.

We selected Troy Hazard to present to both our Business Consultants and our Broker Owners at this years annual convention. Troy expertly crafted a solid platform of tactical, practical business tools that really resonated. What made Troy's session exceptional was that he then created an opening for everyone in the room to really dig into the fundamental driving inspiration behind why we do what we do both as franchisors and as Broker Owners. One evaluation said, 'Thanks you so much. It was powerful for me to know that you care enough about our success to bring someone like this in to work with us.' Troy's practical business message for our team was a great investment. The icing on the cake was the very real and authentic delivery of that message. I think that's why he had such a powerful impact on our group.

We recently had Troy Hazard engage our franchisees in a powerful session and what an impact he had - for all of us! Troy's extensive franchise experience quickly established solid credibility with our franchisees and opened them up to hear his provocative message loud and clear. He challenged them to examine themselves, their goals and their future and WOW - did they resonate and respond to his session. Fantastic feedback from franchisees continues to roll in and we are so pleased with Troy's impact and message, we are bringing him back again in October to work with the entire system and creating regular webinars to keep the momentum going between now and then. Troy's session was an absolute home-run in every way!

Troy Hazard earned full 10's across the board! He was extremely well prepared and his unique pre-program process left us feeling 100% confident that he would nail it and nail it he did. Our attendees have been flooding us with praise saying this was by far the very best convention they have ever had. A common comment was how refreshing it was to have someone connect directly to them with nothing but a couple of flip charts and a passionate, relative, memorable message that was applicable to their businesses.
