Mitch Mitchem

Q1 — Who is your ideal client?

Leaders, planners and organizers who want to make the room rock with thought and ideas and practical solutions. CEOs, association execs, and event pros across Fortune 500, pro sports, healthcare, energy, and hospitality who want their teams amplified, not automated. If you're hiring a speaker to check a box, I'm not your guy. If you're hiring one to change how your people work Monday morning, let's talk.

Q2 — Who is your ideal audience?

People who are ready to have a great time while learning. Everyone from the frontline to the C-suite, especially the skeptics. The arms-crossed crowd who've been told AI will replace them. I've performed for over 10 million people in my career, and the audience that changes the most is the one that walked in resistant. Give me your toughest room, your energized. That's where I do my best work.

Q3 — What do you talk about?

Human-AI collaboration that actually sticks. My core message is Amplify, Not Automate: AI should make your people more capable and more human, not less necessary. I also take a flamethrower to friction, the systems stealing your time and money, straight from my book F* YOUR FRICTION. Live demos, real tools, real laughs. Your people leave knowing exactly what to do next.

Q4 — Why should anyone care? What does your content do for the audience beyond information?

Because information is free and transformation isn't. I'm Second City trained, so yes, you'll laugh, but the laughter is the doorway. Your audience walks out with their fear of AI gone and a working skill in their hands. That's the difference between a speech and a shift. They should also care because my experience with 3X startups, a dating app I sold, and our AI implementation, My HIVE AI avatar tech is what people love to learn about.

Q5 — What are your fees, and are you flexible?

$25K regional (Colorado and Nashville areas), $35K national, $50K+ international. And yes, I'm flexible. Nonprofits, schools, and causes I believe in get a real conversation, not a wall. I'd rather be on the right stage at the right price than miss the room that needs this most. Tell me your budget and let's talk like humans.

Q6 — How fast is your booking process, from first contact to confirmed date?

Fast. One call to align, a simple agreement, and most dates confirm within moments of first contact. Diana my admin runs my logistics, so nothing sits in an inbox. No bureaus, no gatekeepers, no 14-email chains. I built my entire brand on killing friction. My booking process is Exhibit A. We will go from inquiry to contract and payment faster than any speaker in the industy.
