Keynote Topics:

The Richard Fowler Show is one of the top progressive syndicated radio shows in the country, and you would be surprised to know that it is run on a shoestring budget. Building a brand is not easy and comes with its fair share of blood, sweat, and tears, but it doesn’t have to cost you an arm and leg.

During this talk, audiences will learn how to turn their vision boards, dreams, and goals into a thriving personal brand. Do not believe the naysayers, haters, and those that want to charge you an arm and leg; your dreams and personal brand can become a reality, and Richard is here to show you the way. In this down-to-earth and refreshing talk, Richard tells audiences the four “nevers” to building a personal brand with no budget:

  1. Never let money be an excuse
  2. Never give up
  3. Never take no for an answer
  4. Never wait in line

Millennials are the largest generation on our planet. As the baby boomers taught us, the larger the generation, the greater the influence over norms, expectations, media behavior, and political messaging. And with 10,000 millennials turning 21 every day in the United States, now is time to figure out how they think and what that means for our nation and the globe.

Richard Fowler is one of the leading experts on communicating to millennials. Being one himself, Richard has helped political organizations, local governments, elected leaders, and corporations figure out their messaging around millennials, and now he wants to help you.

During this talk, Richard gives insights from the media and some messaging tips that baby boomers and other generations need to know to improve millennial relations. This talk is great for corporate conference, staff retreats, and multi-generational audiences.

Winning is everything. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t keep score. And those words could not be truer in the world of debate. Whether it is in the boardroom, the classroom, or at the dining table, Fowler will give you the tools and tricks to master any argument. Over the past six years, Fowler has engaged in over 400 televised debates and has prepped dozens of public leaders and trained over 2,000 young professionals in the art of the argument.

During this talk, Richard’s audience will get indoctrinated in all the skills necessary to argue smart, not hard. This talk is great for college assemblies, corporate conferences, and audiences seeking professional development in public speaking.

Richard Fowler regularly appears in front of television audiences to offer his perspective on the most important issues of the day. Yet while others build their careers by tearing others down, Richard’s stands out as a voice of inclusion, starting with those with those who disagree with him.

Across this country, young and old alike are yearning for a different tenor to address the challenges of our time. Proudly progressive, Richard will help outline the important differences between the solutions proposed by progressives versus those proposed by conservatives for audiences.

At the same time, Richard insists that while we may disagree about the best way forward, those of opposing political stripes love their country in equal measure. Only when we acknowledge this basic tenet of our democracy can we begin to heal the nation’s wounds in an age of cynicism and come together to build a better future for the next generation.

Richard Fowler on Free Speech at Berkeley (Fox News Segment)

A Fox News segment following the violent protests at UC Berkeley over Milo Yiannopoulos’s scheduled appearance. Martha MacCallum moderates a debate between Richard Fowler (radio host, Fox News Contributor) and Ben Shapiro (Editor-in-Chief, Daily Wire). The discussion centers on free speech, campus protest culture, and the role of universities.

Summary

  • Richard Fowler:
    “As much as I don’t agree with Milo or what he stands for, he has the right to speak at Berkeley. Those who rioted were wrong, and they don’t represent the broader progressive movement. Peaceful protest is our right under the Constitution, but violence undermines that. I believe UC Berkeley did everything in its power to give him a platform. Many of those rioters likely weren’t students but outside agitators. Universities should remain laboratories of intellectualism, open to conservative voices as well as progressive ones.”
  • Ben Shapiro:
    “There’s a mentality on campuses that speech you dislike is violence. If you believe speech is violence, then you justify actual violence. That’s why I’ve seen riots or near-riots during my talks. Administrations often fail to give police the authority to shut down violent protests, which only emboldens agitators.”

Key Moments

(0:15) Fowler: condemns violence but defends Milo’s right to speak.
(1:05) Shapiro: warns of “speech = violence” ideology on campuses.
(2:00) Fowler: distinguishes peaceful protesters from outside agitators.
(3:10) Shapiro: critiques administrations for weak policing.
(4:00) Fowler: stresses universities must remain open to diverse viewpoints.

Fox News interview (Sept 2015) with Richard Fowler, progressive host of The Richard Fowler Show, discussing the upcoming GOP debate at the Reagan Library, Donald Trump’s dominance, struggles of candidates like Scott Walker, and Hillary Clinton’s challenges against Bernie Sanders.

Summary

Host:
“It’s a big week for the GOP as 11 top-tier candidates meet at the Reagan Library for a prime-time debate. What are you expecting to see?”

Richard Fowler:
“I think the knives will be out, with many candidates trying to take down Donald Trump. But it won’t work. The more they attack him, the stronger he gets. Instead, they should focus on their ideas and vision for moving the country forward.”

Host:
“Who has the best chance to break out against Trump?”

Richard Fowler:
“Watch Ben Carson, who’s polling second. He could be the Republican flavor of the month or a long-term contender. Also keep an eye on Ted Cruz. He’s aligned himself with Trump on issues like the Iran deal and Kim Davis controversy. That could help him in Iowa.”

Host:
“What about Scott Walker? He was once a frontrunner, but his numbers have collapsed.”

Richard Fowler:
“Walker’s in real trouble. Iowa was his path to the nomination, but his numbers there are dismal. His record in Wisconsin—gutting education, weak job growth, pandering on ethanol and abortion, and attacking unions—has made him look inauthentic. He has money, but no authenticity or vision.”

Host:
“Let’s shift to the Democrats. Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire are slipping. How much trouble is she in?”

Richard Fowler:
“She’s had a tough month, but her campaign always knew this wouldn’t be a coronation. She’ll need to fight for votes—shake hands, kiss babies, talk issues. Primaries make candidates stronger. Obama was a better candidate in 2008 because of his tough primary. Bill Clinton in 1992 too. Healthy primaries are good for Democrats.”

Host:
“Some Democrats are discussing backups like Biden or Warren if Clinton continues to struggle.”

Richard Fowler:
“There’s chatter, but most Democrats know primaries energize the base and expand the voter pool. Even the Clinton campaign knows that a competitive race can be good for the party heading into the general election.”

Key Moments

0:30 – Fowler predicts candidates will attack Trump, but fail
1:20 – Carson and Cruz highlighted as potential breakout figures
2:45 – Discussion of Scott Walker’s collapse and lack of authenticity
4:10 – Fowler shifts to Democrats, says Clinton must fight, not coast
5:20 – Argument that primaries make candidates stronger, citing Obama and Bill Clinton
