New Book, New Talk
Keynotes Built on The Fandom Playbook
My newest book, The Fandom Playbook (Entrepreneur Press, October 2026), is now the backbone of my fandom marketing keynotes and workshops. Your audience leaves with proven plays for turning customers into passionate fans, real examples from entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and business owners, and a clear way to put one into action within 90 days.
A new full-length keynote video, filmed live on stage at Endless Customers Live in October 2026, is coming soon. Want a preview of how the talk could work for your group? Let's talk.

Stand Out Virtual Events
David's 4-camera professional studio and deep knowledge of virtual events means he delivers powerful online talks.
A great virtual event is more than a slides stuffed into a Zoom room.

Am I right for your event?
In my experience based on delivering more than 500 talks in over 45 countries, I have a good idea about what makes me a good (or not so good) fit for your event.
Your attendees don't want to learn new ideas and are reluctant to change the old ways they are working.
You are looking for a speaker to talk about the latest marketing and business growth fads.
Your senior executives insist on micro-managing the details of a speaker's talk.
You want an academic from a well-known university or somebody who works at a big famous company.
You are looking for a speaker who can educate, entertain, and motivate your attendees to action.
You are excited to have a speaker deliver proven ways to build fans and grow business in creative ways.
You're eager to share the goals of your event and the audience demographics and leave the details to a pro.
You want a speaker who has direct experience implementing the ideas that they share from the stage.
