Tom Gardner’s Speech Topics

  • Ready for the Real World? Foolish Advice for Students

    Who’s teaching our kids about money? Though our high school graduates enter a world where job searches, salaries, expenses and an extraordinary array of personal finance decisions—both dangerous and opportune—await, very few of this nation’s high schools or universities offers even basic lessons on saving, investing, or planning for the future. 
    As educators, The Motley Fool co-founders feel there are some things young adults should know about investing and finance. Experienced speaking to both student and parent audiences, they have put together a humorous and engaging speech, based on their successful book, The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens. Some of the practical advice they’ll share:

    • Money equals opportunity
    • Every dollar spent is an investment 
    • You don’t need to be rich to get into—or succeed at—investing 
    • You have more money to invest than you think

    The Motley Fool will deliver the know-how young adults need to become more sophisticated investors, financial planners – and spenders.

  • From the Front Lines: Today’s Top Workplace and Business Trends

    Not only are David and Tom Gardner media entrepreneurs who created an extraordinary service and a formidable business with The Motley Fool, but they’ve also been students of the game of business, following the corporate world like sports fanatics. In building the Motley Fool, they have created a business and a workplace that are the envy of employers everywhere—including recognition such as being named one of the “Top 10 Best Places to Work” by Washington Business Journal and the #1 “Media Business to Work For” by Business Insider beating out ESPN, Disney and Turner Broadcasting. Their passion for business trends and for being creating a workplace that people are proud of combined with the brothers’ distinct ability to deliver the obscure and esoteric in a friendly, easy-to understand manner makes for an informative and entertaining presentation on almost any business topic specifically suited to your organization.

  • Finding Hidden Gems

    Before settling on a stock investment to add to his portfolio, Tom Gardner investigates up to a hundred companies. Why? Because he’s seeking out the market’s “Hidden Gems”: companies valued at less than $2 billion that, for a variety of reasons, isn’t on Wall Street’s radar screen, companies that big institutional money managers cannot yet invest in. Tom Gardner believes that hard work correlates well with sustained outperforming of the market, and that the probability for excellent returns rises based on the number of investment prospects you can regularly evaluate and eliminate. In this presentation, Tom Gardner shows investors how focusing on the undiscovered, undervalued companies generating heaps of free cashflow to mine profit where Wall Street can’t.
