Brad Montgomery

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.
