For many Americans, the Fourth of July is a celebration of our nation’s values and those who have protected our freedoms. For Marcus Luttrell, the decorated Navy SEAL and best-selling author of Lone Survivor, it is a poignant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice his fallen comrades made during the single largest loss of life in Navy SEAL history: Operation Redwing in Afghanistan. After nearly two years in print, Lone Survivor remains on The New York Times best-seller list, a true testament to the impact of his story. Luttrell has since dedicated his life to keeping the memory of his fallen teammates alive through lectures across the country. Greater Talent Network is proud to exclusively represent Marcus Luttrell, now the most in-demand motivational speaker in America.
“The sheer volume of requests for Marcus is simply overwhelming. The outpouring of gratitude spans across every demographic – from corporate boardrooms to public libraries,” said Don Epstein, CEO and founder of Greater Talent Network. “Corporations have embraced him as the solution to inspiring teamwork and leadership; he has tapped into the American psyche at a crucial time in our nation’s history.”
Receiving more than one hundred speaking requests each week, Luttrell’s message focuses on the power of teamwork, effective leadership and what perseverance truly means. At the podium, Luttrell paints a picture of a battlefield and a team in combat that is the very definition of courage, strength and overcoming obstacles – a welcome message in times of struggle.
