Keynote Speaker:
Aaron Golub became the first legally blind division one athlete to play in a game when he played football at Tulane University and is now a professional speaker, entrepreneur, and consultant.
He started his journey as a speaker in high school when he was asked to appear on Good Morning America after committing to play football at Tulane. He knew immediately he had a message that would impact millions. This experience catapulted him into the speaking world at age 17 and since then, he has traveled the world sharing his message.
He speaks, conducts workshops, and consults. Whether you want him to come in for a keynote, breakout sessions, day-long workshop, or longer-term consulting effort, he has a structure for it all. Aaron leaves organizations and teams with strategies to rethink their past beliefs and create true change. His work is never one and done. Aaron is there by your side to help you implement and act accordingly.
Aaron’s biggest accomplishment and what he is most proud of is when he was named a captain of the Tulane Football team and went on to become an NFL free agent.
Successful organizations like Pinterest, Deloitte, PepsiCo, and many others invest in him regularly. He has appeared on Good Morning America, as well as been featured in CBS, NBC, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, Entrepreneur, NPR and many others.
