Dave also speaks on resilience, mindset, and the power of perspective – drawing from his personal battle with stage 3 melanoma and its rare aftermath.

Sweating the Small Stuff – After surviving stage 3 melanoma, Dave was left with a rare side effect that once brought embarrassment and now serves as a symbol of strength. This deeply personal talk empowers audiences to embrace their insecurities and transform perceived flaws into fuel.

A Hypochondriac’s Guide to Beating Cancer – Based on his bestselling memoir, this keynote brings humor to hardship and shows audiences how laughter, gratitude, and perspective can transform even the most difficult moments.

These topics are particularly well suited for healthcare organizations, cancer foundations, and events where personal story and human connection are the primary focus.

Whether you’re planning a corporate conference, leadership summit, association event, or sales kickoff, Dave customizes every keynote to your audience, your theme, and your goals.
