About this Speaker

After 30 years as a serial entrepreneur, I became the Organizer of Vancouver Business Network and Entrepreneurs International Network and the founder and producer of Get Inspired Talks. Here is a short introduction to each organization:

VANCOUVER BUSINESS NETWORK ("VBN")

If you have an important message that you'd like to share with entrepreneurs, or are an entrepreneur who values high-quality training and networking, Vancouver Business Network ("VBN") can help you. Since its launch in 2010, VBN has held over 700 free training events. On January 1, 2021 VBN joined the Entrepreneurs International Network ("EIN") family of Meetups designed to help entrepreneurs build better businesses. With 78k members, EIN is now the largest and most prolific provider of high-quality, free entrepreneur training in the world.

GET INSPIRED TALKS

I produced the TEDxStanleyPark events from 2013 to 2018. The 2018 event took place in front of over 2,000 attendees. All 13 speakers received standing ovations. Their videos have since received nearly 40 million views. After this event I realized that “Ideas Worth Spreading” and "Ideas Making Action Happen” are as different as day and night. So I created Get Inspired Talks Inc. to produce talks that cause measurable action to happen. Get Inspired Talks support experts with big ideas that tackle one of humanity’s challenges. Their big idea might be a new technology or method e.g., exoskeletons are a new technology that helps 82m people in wheelchairs, and 3 random acts of kindness daily is a new method of tackling unhappiness. Get Inspired Talks gives impact, influence and reach to its clients' big ideas so that they can change the world.
