Speech Topics

• The Future of a Divided America: The 2024 Election and What’s Next?

  Our current climate of hyper-partisanship and polarization have taken a toll on society, the lives of individuals and the economy. Scott Brown’s long career in public service and his reputation as a leader committed to bipartisan policymaking inform his deeply perceptive analysis of the state of the country and the most important issues today. His balanced perspective is particularly valuable for conversations around the upcoming 2024 elections. With candor and insight, he asks how the Republican and Democratic parties might adapt and evolve to come together to move the nation and the economy forward.

• Trade and Business Outlook

  Bringing expertise gained as an ambassador negotiating trade agreements and as a U.S. Senator, Scott Brown looks at the state of trade around the world and its effect on American business interests. From our relationships within North America, to the Indo-Pacific region and beyond, he examines the balance of power, highlighting opportunities and the key competitive advantages that the U.S. must maintain to succeed in a rapidly changing world. Ambassador Brown tailors his focus to audience interests, providing high level insights into specific impacts on American businesses and the U.S. economy.

• Against All Odds: My Life of Hardship, Fast Breaks & Second Chances

  No one who met Scott Brown as a child or teen would have ever imagined that he would grow up to become a senator, ambassador or law school president. Born into a world of poverty, hunger, sexual predators, physical abuse and crime, Brown was nonetheless able to defy the odds. He credits the caring teachers and coaches who saw his potential and reached out. Especially his social studies teacher. “You know what?” she said. “You’ve got everything in the world going for you. You’re tall, good looking, you’re athletic. You could be smart if you put your mind to it.” As Brown wrote in his New York Times Bestseller, Against All Odds, “I was the kid who always felt like a loser, who felt I had nothing going for me and she said that I had everything in the world going for me.” In this inspiring talk, Brown shares how educators helped him turn his life around and earn a full basketball scholarship to Tufts University. Noting that his ultimate success was not always as planned—Brown celebrates the power that educators and others who work with youth have to transform lives.
