Book Ed Franklin – A Speaker Who Breaks the Mold

Looking to energize your college, corporate, or group event? Ed Franklin brings the kind of real-world wisdom and unforgettable presence that sticks with audiences long after the event ends.

With his signature colorful shoes, ball cap, and inked arms, Ed delivers a non-traditional, high-impact message wrapped in authenticity. He’s not your typical suit-and-tie speaker—he’s a father of eight (yes, really), a grandfather many times over, and a seasoned leader who’s worked for both beloved brands and challenging startups.

What sets Ed apart is his ability to connect—heart-to-heart, story by story. His talks blend raw life experience with decades of leadership insight, all delivered with humor, humility, and the energy of someone half his age.

If you want your audience to be inspired, challenged, and truly moved—book Ed Franklin and watch the room come alive.
