FAQs
-
Our speakers are available for a wide range of events — including corporate conferences, leadership retreats, team-building summits, brand activations, fundraisers, panels, workshops, and private events. Whether you're hosting 50 executives or 5,000 attendees, we can tailor the experience to your audience and goals.
In addition to live events, our speakers are also available for non-event functions such as webinars, virtual town halls, policy rollouts, and internal training sessions.
-
We get this one a lot — and the short answer is: not at all.
Yes, our speakers are trained fighters, but they’re also some of the most grounded, charismatic, and professional people you’ll ever work with. They're used to being in the spotlight, and they know how to connect with audiences of all backgrounds — with warmth, humor, and authenticity.
Their presence is powerful, but their delivery is approachable. No aggression, no ego — just real people with incredible stories and stage-ready presence.
-
Not at all. While our speakers come from elite combat sports backgrounds, their talks go far beyond the Octagon. Topics include leadership under pressure, resilience, mindset, performance, accountability, handling adversity, and building a champion’s mentality. These are not fight stories — they’re human stories with impact.
-
Not even a little. Our speakers use their background in fighting as a launching point — not the whole story. Talks are crafted around universal themes like resilience, leadership, performance under pressure, and bouncing back from setbacks.
Even if you’ve never watched a single UFC fight, your audience will walk away moved, motivated, and completely engaged.
