For business speaker Brad Montgomery, a funny thing happened on the way to law school. After graduating from Brown, his college “side hustle” of professional drumming, street magic and comedy clubs led him to performing on cruise ships and even the prestigious Hollywood Magic Castle. Brad turned his love for the stage into his life work of becoming a successful keynote speaker who helps people feel valued, appreciated, respected and recognized. He never made it to Law School!

Brad is an entrepreneur, author, and podcaster. As a business keynote speaker, his expertise is increasing performance by focusing on the people side of the business. He speaks about harnessing the science of social and emotional support to encourage, support and retain their people.

Brad is a Certified Speaking Professional — the highest earned designation from the National Speakers Association. He is also a member of the Speakers Hall of Fame, an elite group of 150 inductees worldwide.

His diverse client list ranges from Fortune 500 companies to smaller leadership groups in rural health care and groups of educators across the USA. He even spoke to the IRS where he withheld 30% of his best ideas. His background in entertainment is still very present in all his business presentations. Whether he’s telling funny stories, sharing his innate and impromptu wit, or blowing audiences minds as a mentalist - he’s definitely not your standard “talking head” speaker. He’s fresh. He’s funny. He’s unique.

He has three awesome kids and an amazing wife of over 30 years. Brad loves playing jazz and funk and then heading out for roller hockey. And in an emergency, Brad can ride a unicycle while juggling.
