THIS YEARS KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Scott Hallman - 2-Time Inc. 500 Company Founder & CEO, #1 Bestselling Author
Scott isn't your average business "guru" he's a proven performer with real credentials and real results. He built and sold multiple companies, including two that made the Inc. 500 list ranking #59 and #106. He co-founded an IT consulting firm that scaled from zero to $85 million in just 21 months, hitting a market valuation near $1 billion. That's not theory. That's execution.
Tony Robbins trusts him. So did Chet Holmes. Spartan Race's Joe De Sena called on him for growth strategy. Why? Because Scott delivers what matters: more profit, more clarity, more control.
"Scott immediately identified over $930,000 of increased profit potential most of it achieved without any big changes."
– Chuck Boyce
If your business has money hiding in plain sight, Scott will find it. If growth has stalled, he'll break it wide open. There is no fluff, no gimmicks, just battle-tested strategy that moves the needle.
If you're serious about turning your shop into a true wealth-building machine, Scott Hallman is who the experts call when they need help.
