Let’s make it
easy.

Bridget Hilton helps audiences stop postponing what matters and start taking action. Drawing on research with more than 20,000 people and her experience building a global social impact company, her Make Someday Today keynote combines powerful storytelling, humor, and practical tools that move people from intention to action. Available as a keynote, interactive workshop, or extended experience with measurable follow-through, Bridget doesn’t just inspire audiences to begin. She helps them take their first step before they leave the room.

Bridget Hilton is an author, entrepreneur and keynote speaker who helps people go from someday to started. She founded LSTN, a global company that sold millions of headphones and speakers, partnered with Google, Delta Air Lines and Amazon, and helped more than 60,000 people hear. Drawing on research with more than 20,000 people and her book Experiential Billionaire, her Make Someday Today keynote and workshops help audiences take action on what matters.

Long before the book and keynote, Bridget Hilton was a small town Michigan kid who dreamed of someday becoming a rockstar. At 14, she took every music-related job she could find, from selling band T-shirts out of vans to sweeping concert floors in Detroit. She eventually worked her way into the world’s largest record label, helping launch the careers of Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Rihanna.

Then a video of a deaf woman hearing for the first time gave her a new someday: help one person experience the power of sound. She founded LSTN and built it into a global company that sold millions of headphones and speakers, partnered with Google, Delta Air Lines and Amazon, and helped more than 60,000 people hear in 40 countries and all 50 states.

Today, she helps others make their own somedays happen. Through her book Experiential Billionaire, her viral TEDx talk, research with more than 20,000 people, and her Make Someday Today keynote and workshops, Bridget helps people and organizations take action on what matters.

Our next speaker is an entrepreneur, author and keynote speaker who helps people close the gap between dreaming and doing.

She co-founded LSTN, a social impact company that sold millions of products, partnered with brands like Google, Delta Air Lines, Amazon and Whole Foods, and helped more than sixty thousand people around the world hear for the first time.

Her work has been featured on TODAY show, Good Morning America, The New York Times, Forbes and The Wall Street Journal. Sir Richard Branson called her an inspiring entrepreneur who shows business can really be an adventure.

Your people have ideas they haven’t shared, goals they keep postponing, and things they’d try if they felt ready. What becomes possible when they finally begin?

In this entertaining, motivational keynote, Bridget Hilton helps audiences recognize the cost of waiting and discover how much can change with a small first step. Drawing on research with more than 20,000 people about goals and regrets, she explores why we put off what matters and how to move forward before confidence, clarity, or perfect timing arrive.

Bridget brings these ideas to life through her journey building LSTN, a global company that sold millions of products and helped more than 60,000 people hear. Her experience gives audiences a practical framework for pursuing ambitious goals, asking for help, and creating opportunities for others along the way.

For organizations, the connection is clear: people who share what they want to achieve give colleagues a chance to contribute. An introduction, a conversation, or an offer of support can move a goal forward and build a stronger relationship in the process. Audiences leave with a meaningful goal, a concrete first step, and a shared way to help each other follow through.

The best keynotes change how people think. This workshop helps them change what they do next.

Through guided reflection, small-group conversations and practical exercises, participants identify something meaningful they’ve been postponing, uncover what has kept it stuck and choose a realistic first step forward. Along the way, they learn what matters to the people around them.

Coworkers become collaborators. Conference attendees become connections. Personal and professional goals become shared opportunities for encouragement, accountability and action. Available as a 60 minute, 90 minute or half-day session.

Prosper Through Connection: Building a culture where people invest in each other’s success

Your people sit next to each other every day. Most of them have no idea what the person beside them is working toward. What changes when they find out?

When Bridget surveyed more than 20,000 people about the dreams they keep putting off, the biggest category wasn’t money or career. It was relationships. People want deeper connections, at home and at work. Yet Gallup finds only about 2 in 10 employees strongly agree they have a best friend at work.

In this warm, interactive keynote, Bridget shows how small moments of connection build trust, belonging and loyalty. She draws on a decade building LSTN with her best friend and co-founder, and on teams she’s watched turn from coworkers into collaborators in a single afternoon.

For organizations, the payoff is simple. People stay where they feel seen. When colleagues know each other’s goals, they make introductions, share resources and show up for each other. That’s engagement you can’t buy with a pizza party.

Includes a free copy of the 80-page book Prosper Through Connection for every attendee.

Audience takeaways:

• See the person, not just the role. Learn simple ways to move past small talk and find out what colleagues actually care about.

• Recognize what matters to them. Turn recognition from a plaque into something personal, like supporting a goal someone has been putting off.

• Don’t keep it a secret. Discover how sharing goals at work invites help, accountability and stronger relationships.

• Make connection a habit. Leave with practical rituals any team can use, in the office or remote.

• Create the ripple. See how one act of support spreads through a team and builds a place people don’t want to leave.

Life on Purpose: How to build a business that creates a ripple effect

Your audience has ideas for businesses that could do good. Most assume they need more money, experience or connections before they start. What if they didn’t?

Bridget co-founded LSTN by emptying her $5k 401k, with no idea how headphones were made. Two weeks later she was on a plane to China. A decade later, the company had sold millions of products, partnered with Google, Delta Air Lines, Amazon and Whole Foods, and helped more than 60,000 people hear for the first time.

In this honest, funny and moving keynote, Bridget shares what it actually takes to build a purpose-led company. She covers the wins, the near-misses, the cardboard-box desk, and the email years later that showed her how far one decision can ripple.

For organizations, the message is practical. Purpose isn’t a marketing line. It’s a strategy that attracts customers, partners and talent who want to be part of something that matters.

Audience takeaways:

• Know what matters. Define the impact you want your work to have, even if you’re starting from zero.

• Start small. Learn how a scrappy first version beats a perfect plan that never launches.

• Don’t keep it a secret. Use purpose and authenticity to open doors with global brands and partners.

• Move through the fear. Hear the stories founders rarely tell, and how to keep going when it gets hard.

• Create the ripple. See how giving back can drive growth, loyalty and a life you’re proud of.

THE PRESENTATION

01 — The deck. Bridget sends her slides ahead of the event, along with any video files.

02 — Format. Provided in PowerPoint (16:9).

03 — Fonts. All fonts (Nineties Headliner and Perfectly Nineties) are embedded in the presentation, so nothing needs to be installed. You’ll only need to download them if you’re creating additional event assets.

04 — Backup laptop. Bridget brings her own MacBook as a backup. If it’s used, an HDMI adapter is needed.

05 — Clicker & confidence monitor. A wireless clicker is required. Bridget will bring a backup just in case. A confidence monitor set to PowerPoint Presenter View is greatly appreciated, so she can see the current and upcoming slides and keep the presentation seamless.

SOUND

06 — Audio from the laptop. The presentation includes embedded video with sound, so laptop audio needs to run through the room’s speakers.

08 — Audience mic. For interactive moments, a handheld mic that can be passed to audience members is helpful. Optional for keynotes; required for workshops.

THE WORKSHOP (IF BOOKED)
