Core Speaking Topics

Kent tailors every talk to the audience, but most keynotes draw from these core themes—each one built on 40+ years of real-world experience.

Humor in Business

Winning deals and building culture without losing your sense of fun. Why the best leaders are also the funniest people in the room.

Fundraising & Capital Raising

What investors actually look for—and how to structure deals that close. The capital-raising playbook from $1B+ in raises.

Entrepreneurship & Scaling

From small-town startups to multi-company media ecosystems. The frameworks Kent used to go from a push mower to 13 operating companies.

Venture Capital & Private Equity

Building companies that PE and VC firms want to own. What the smart money is actually looking for—and how to position for it.

Politics & Media Influence

How narratives are built, weaponized, and reclaimed. What every entrepreneur needs to understand about media power in the modern era

AI & the Future of Media

Using AI and distribution to turn content into real leverage. The story of News Channel 69 and what it means for every business with something to say.

International Business Development

Navigating deals and opportunities across the U.S. and Asia. From the Philippines to Capitol Hill—how to build relationships, structure cross-border transactions, and find opportunity in markets others overlook.
