October 14, 2023Less promotion more adversity
Several attendees were uncomfortable with the constant photographs being taken by who we are not sure as we were never asked. Although we can appreciate the sadness of your life story and feel your pain, we were hoping for more upbeat, motivated talk to start our day.

Aric H. Morrison
We strongly disagree with a 3.5 rating for the following reasons:
1. Upon our booking we requested a Zoom call to discuss her needs. We waited 170 days for Michelle to reach out to us, to no avail. We did the best we could to deliver a custom-written speech without having any info as to who the audience was.
2. The host was not ready to let the guests in, so Mr. Morrison went outside to the line and tried to temper their collective demeanor by socializing and making them feel more special by setting up HIS red velvet stanchions and red carpet at no additional cost.
3. After seeing one tiny piece of candy on the table by each place setting for each guest, Mr. Morrison placed a canvas bag on the chair as an additional gift because he felt bad for those attending. Again, at NO COST to the hiring party.
4. The person taking pictures from Adversity Rockstar LLC was introduced to a staff member in advance. She shook his hand and replied, "Oh Great." The hiring party never took the initiative at the start to share him with the audience or follow up with Aric as to his role.
5. Aric is typically introduced by a provided script so that the audience can get excited about his background. It was never read by the hiring party and remained on the lectern.
6. After being booked for 8 am sharp. On the day of the event, because they were not ready, Mr. Morrison was pushed back over 30 minutes. Despite this, he still delivered a one-hour presentation.
7. THE GUESTS TOOK PICTURES WITH MR. MORRISON AFTER THE EVENT AND SHOWED THEIR APPROVAL!
8. OTHER GUESTS TEXTED MR. MORRISON FOR DAYS AFTER TO SHARE HOW MUCH THEY ENJOYED HIS PRESENTATION. This is in direct contrast to her words.
9. Being the professional he is, MR. Morrison still signed two books and presented them to the hiring party after the performance. Again, at no additional cost!
10. WE TAKE OUR CRAFT VERY SERIOUSLY, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER HUNDREDS OF APPEARANCES, FELT THE NEED TO REPLY AS WE ARE SHOCKED.

October 31, 2022What a Rockstar!
We wanted to provide something different for our employees. Since Aric Morrison is both a speaker and an author, we figured it would be nice to hear from his diversified perspectives. From the start, his professionalism and attention to detail before his appearance were noticeable.
His thoughts flowed in sync with exactly what we were seeking from him. His energy is evident, and his love for his craft comes through as soon as you meet him. He shared many parts of his journey, which was very moving for us, but somehow he kept the proper balance and had us smile simultaneously. The more he spoke, the more he connected with our employees. What a great decision we made to hire him.
Aric took time to sign books, allowed a question and answer session, and was highly approachable to everyone. What struck me the most was how genuine he truly is. He has lived a life full of challenges but is one of the few among us who can use them to help inspire others. It was our pleasure, and we hope to see him again next year.
I highly support and endorse him for your audience.
Wow!

What to expect
The Adversity Rockstar Experience is a comprehensive opportunity to impact several areas for your upcoming event. Our attention to detail is unmatched, and our speaking deliverable results from over a decade of presentations. Because Aric is a multi-media personality, his ability to diversify his services makes hiring him easier than most other speakers.
On stage, Aric is a dynamic presenter pouring his heart and soul out to every audience who has been fortunate to see him. His speeches are never the same, as he spends time in advance getting to know who will attend. Every address is custom written after working with the event organizer to understand better who the audience is. Each of his appearances begins with a short two-minute video reel to set the tone.
He loves what he does! Depending on logistics, Aric likes to have several visual elements accompany him on stage to round out the visual experience. He will share his personal story in detail and mix three or four direct messages to balance one impactful and emotional vocal journey.
From there, Aric walks on stage and takes control!
At AHM Enterprises, the point of differentiation is not only in the quality of the speaker but in the attention to detail that goes into the entire experience. We take pride in our brand and our reputation; rest assured, every time we are booked for an appearance, nothing is more important to us than planning.
With his business background, it is not difficult for him to appropriately target his message for educational, various organizations, not-for-profits, or corporations. The primary themes Aric speaks about range from motivation to perspective, inspiration, and navigating adversity. Trust me when I say he has seen it all, experienced it, and talked about it on stage or in one of his many books.
"To say this guy walks the walk and talks the talk in an uplifting way would be an understatement." K. Fish EVP.
We are flexible and adaptable; it is all about connecting with people when you speak for a living. Because he is so approachable, at the end of his presentations, Aric welcomes the opportunity to answer questions and converse informally with people. As he was quoted on a recent podcast, "I love listening to their stories."
The size of the audience is not what makes the difference to Aric; it is the ability to connect with each person in some way through his very personal and relatable storytelling. Speaking engagements can range in length and composition without any concern at all.
Whether formal or informal, large or small, keynote or conversational, we can customize a package to suit your needs and make it happen. Whether a kick-off meeting, employee celebration, special function, or anything in between, we would love to be there and help make it an extraordinary event for you!
Books can be purchased in bulk for your audience, and frequently the event planner will also hire Aric to do an author signing as a special bonus event. Aric has often been asked to be a guest at VIP socials before or after the event.
Aric has been hired to meet with employees casually, sign books in the office, and make guest appearances in tradeshow booths, grand openings, employee events, or any other special occasion you can dream of; we can work with you on being there in some capacity!
In 2023, Aric successfully toured fourteen states, promoting one of his recent books and speaking on stage; travel is not an issue when it comes to appearances!
Short notice, and in a jam. Let us know, and we will try to make it work.
If you are struggling with our quote, give us a call and let us know! We strive to be fair and reasonable. There are instances when we make wrong assumptions in our proposals. We will always listen to your concerns and, if appropriate, will do our best to make the event happen.
EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO REACH AN AUDIENCE IS IMPORTANT TO US!

Additional booking notes
Generally, for stage appearances, AHM enterprises request a wireless microphone, either handheld or lavalier, and sufficient sound to carry the presentation to the back of the room. BASICALLY, THIS IS ALL WE NEED!
Depending on the venue size and scale of the appearance, at least one video screen, a projector, and an AV tech to play the intro video and mix still images during the performance. We work with what you have. The video is an introduction piece; it does not have to be shown if the equipment is unavailable. Don't worry about it!
Because we are adaptable, there are occasions when we can supply the equipment and make magic happen, too!
WE ARE EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE. Let us know your thoughts, and we can work with you!

Influences and inspiration
His two boys have influenced him. Aric finds inspiration in everyday situations as much as spending time with his family. In fact, much of what he speaks and writes about is found within everyday occurrences through his travels. Music has always been a massive motivation for Mr. Morrison as his love for song is evident in his style, writing, and stage presence.
