Testimonials
Director

I've seen him 3 times and booked him for my clients. When he speaks, people tweet so much when he is onstage, it takes down our networks. People love him. I can't wait to book him for a fourth time, because he is wonderful.

Gutsche is one of the most sought-after keynote speakers on the planet, well-regarded as the top trend-spotter in the world... The most energizing, inspiring and applicable piece of stand-up I have ever seen. And I've heard Bill Clinton... Bill Gates... and Tony Robbins.

Can you say “Jeremy Gutsche” without breaking out in goosebumps? I think not. His opening keynote address this morning wowed even me - the woman who hired and helped prep him for his keynote. I should have been better prepared for how awesome he would be. You could feel the energy in the room, even digitally, through the virtual live stream of the session. The Twitter feeds lit up like I’ve never seen before at MPI. His messages of innovation and exploiting chaos were on target and he did a phenomenal job of engaging our audience, tying his messages into relevant information for our industry.
