This off-the-wall, hilarious, refreshing, and absolutely unique presentation focuses on helping people address the issues of change, fear, stress, and achieving goals.

Frank Miles uses his many talents (magic, juggling, unicycling, acrobatics, music, and even fire eating) to deliver a wildly entertaining and powerful keynote presentation.

With audience volunteers and non-stop variety he illustrates a simple approach to clobbering fear – the #1 obstacle to success.

A professional variety comedian with numerous television and Las Vegas credits, Frank Miles died in a hang gliding accident and was revived by emergency room doctors. True courage – he came to realize – is not facing death in daredevil pursuits. True courage is facing life every day.

After a full recovery, Frank Miles left one successful career and embarked on another. Using comic monologues, juggling, music, and magic, he brought to life simple ideas that help shatter the self imposed limits of fear. The response has been tremendous. Frank Miles is now a sought after motivational speaker and live entertainer, and his keynote presentation “Laugh at Fear!” has been honored with laughter and standing ovations from crowds as large as 15,000 people.

Frank Miles’ off-the-wall, hilarious, refreshing, and absolutely unique presentation focuses on helping people address the issues of change, fear, stress, and achieving goals. Frank Miles uses his many talents – magic, juggling, unicycling, acrobatics, music, and even fire eating – to deliver a wildly entertaining and powerful keynote presentation.

With audience volunteers and non-stop variety he illustrates a simple approach to clobbering fear – the number one obstacle to success.

A comedy juggler, stand-up comedian, comedy magician, and composer of humorous songs who uses his act to teach people that they can overcome their deepest fears and accomplish anything they really want, most people just call Frank Miles… funny!

The show bounces from insightful stand-up comedy, to juggling fire on a giant unicycle, to performing the world’s only ping-pong spitting ballet.

“Laugh at Fear” is Frank Miles’ offbeat, funny response to his near-death experience and long road to recovery. He demonstrates ways to confront issues of change and accompanying stress, while reminding audiences of what is really important in life, and puts them on the road to achieving their goals.

Frank Miles’ television credits include The Larry Sanders Show with Garry Shandling, Caroline’s Comedy Hour with Richard Jeni, Evening at the ImprovMTV Half Hour Comedy HourComic Strip Live, and the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon. Most recently Frank brought his upbeat attitude to an audition for America ’s Got Talent.

“For me, just getting up on a stage before a TV audience of ten or fifteen million people is a triumph. I was the guy who was willing to settle for less. Now I get the chance to show a huge audience that no one can stop you from dreaming and taking a chance on that dream. No one but you.”

As an inspirational speaker, Frank Miles has a great message for your audience. “There are things you can control in life, and things you can’t. It’s like the knives and half-million volt stun-guns I juggle onstage.

All I can do is apply myself to the handle. But when I do that, the other end takes care of itself. Keep your eye on the handle of your actions, your choices, your dreams too. The rest of life works itself out. You’ll see for yourself if you’re willing enough to give it a real chance. I did.”

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
