Matt Thornhill Reviews

  • Matt did an outstanding job of engaging our convention attendees. He took what could have been a dry topic and really made it dynamic and actionable. It was clear that he made the effort to learn about our business and customized his presentation for our audience.
    Miracle-Ear - Jun 12 2017

  • Matt is one of the most engaging keynote speakers I have ever seen, and I'm in the business of hiring great keynote speakers. He informs and entertains. Matt spoke for 45 minutes and I can't recall in over a decade of similar events, seeing a more engaged audience, I recommend Matt with no reservations.
