Speaking events

David Kohout has been reaching out to our youth for over 30+ years through his gift of public speaking and has impacted the lives of over 900,000+ students, staff and academic leaders in the last 18 years as Talk Is Cheap, Inc.

David knows that young people are the future and wants to build strong boys and girls rather than rebuild men and women.

David's hope is that each audience member will leave having a desire to achieve their full potential, realize their worth and be better prepared for their future–that there is a seed of greatness in each and every one of us. What we do with that seed is our choice.

“David has the gift of being able to communicate with kids because they know that he is sincere and totally believes in what he is saying. We have used him over and over again because we feel he delivers a very important message, a message that stresses the value and self-wroth of each individual.”
— James Cooney former Principal at Cardinal Mooney
“His message was an inspiration for children and adults alike. We left the assembly feeling great about ourselves and those around us.”
— Carl Clark
