Personal Details

Bio

Rob Meister is an award winning entrepreneur who has created several million dollar brands. But it isn’t his successes that make him a great public speaker... it’s his raw, unfiltered, honesty about his struggles and failures.

Rob uses his battle with anxiety and depression as tools to convince you that you are stronger than you think and braver than you know. He gives you the hard realities of business while sharing techniques to keep you emotionally strong.

Rob can motivate people to take the leap and make their dreams a reality. He can walk future entrepreneurs through the steps necessary to start a business and prepare them for the realities they will face. He also specializes in motivating people with mental health issues and educating the people who love them.

But where he really shines, is when he takes questions after his presentations. His ability to use his own experiences to relate to people, think on his feet, and adapt his message to each person is uncanny.

Rob is the type of speaker you always bring back!
