Thank you for taking a brief moment to consider the possibility of allowing me to utilize the “gifts” I have been given to positively impact the lives of your group.

In working with countless meeting coordinators over the past thirty-three years, I have long since come to realize that planning a group meeting is no small task. You have the unenviable job of pleasing not only your boss, but the hundreds or even thousands of different personalities that make up your group. I feel it is my job to make you look like a hero in everyone’s eyes.

As professional speakers, we are privileged to positively impact the lives of our fellow man. Many people cannot fathom the passion I have for the work I now do away from the ball park. The truth is, I look forward to speaking to a group of people more than I used to look forward to playing in a major league baseball game.

Furthermore, because of my transcendent and open-hearted speaking style, I have found many audience members typically enjoy the opportunity to socialize and even spend personal one-on-one moments together after my programs. Therefore, I would like you to understand my personal philosophy is that of being more than just a speaker to the groups who book me.

Whenever possible, I like to make myself readily available to share these special “up-close” moments. Whether it’s taking photos with my new friends and the World Series trophy, personally autographing my book or even joining in on a round of golf with the group, I consider these to be all part of my job in helping to make your event one they will remember for a long time to come.

I look forward to the possibility of working with you in the near future! Not only would we have a good time, but more importantly, I know we can have a positive impact on the lives on those in your group.

Today, we are pleased to have with us, Mr. Ed Hearn. He is a former major league player, having played 13 years of professional baseball. His playing career included a World Series Championship season with the 1986 New York Mets and a brief time with the Kansas City Royals.

Yes, Ed Hearn has climbed the mountain of success and joined an elite few who have fulfilled the dream most young boys have of playing in the Major Leagues and winning a World Series.

But his story is much more than just that of a professional athlete. Less than a year after a major shoulder injury brought a premature end to his playing career, he was diagnosed with three life threatening health conditions and reduced to a man who could barely care for himself.

Today, after three life-saving kidney transplants, years of dialysis, thirty radiation treatments for a bout with cancer, the aid of a breathing machine each night, a $8,000 IV treatment each month, and 30 pills per day, Ed Hearn has come back with a courage, faith and a determination that speak volumes as we face life’s curves.
