Keynote Topics:
Success Through Struggle
Red’s favorite subject to speak on, as it truly comes from the heart is something he lives and breathes every day. Red Explains how we should look at every obstacle as an opportunity to succeed and grow.
By connecting his own story of facing struggles while in Afghanistan, treating patients, and then becoming a patient himself, Red uses humor and real life situations to show that anyone can and should succeed through their struggles and actually look for challenges in order to grow as a business or as a person.
My New Normal
Oftentimes we find ourselves consumed by ‘victim mentality.’ Red admits he struggled following his injury, but quickly realized how lucky he was after time spent with fellow Veterans who suffered a far greater loss.
With a new outlook on life, a determined Red committed to finding his new normal. Let Red help you create a vision for your new normal that extends outside the home, workplace and relationships.
Don’t be scared of version 2.0. Embrace it.
Your Comfort Zone
Red has faced challenging situations on and off the battlefield. As a Navy Corpsman, Red found himself in unimaginable circumstances. Yet beyond his anticipated comfort zone, Red embraced the unexpected challenges of a decorated combat Veteran.
For example, nightly reading was uncharted territory for Red prior to his injury. What was once a feared activity has since become a daily routine.
Join Red on his quest to flip the script on venturing outside your comfort zone and learn to make ordinary challenges your norm. Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded.
1% Better
Giving 100% of yourself is exhausting. Setting unattainable goals is devastating. In order to improve his life in a manageable way, Red challenges himself daily to improve by 1% through positive thought and attainable goal setting.
He actively focuses on the process instead of the outcome, and is ready to share his techniques to help you make tomorrow better than yesterday.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
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.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
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.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
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 and other costs
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.
Deposits and securing a booking
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.
