Thank you, Kalynn! It was a true honor to speak to your team at Smile Direct Club! You have a wonderful group!

The words of Mike Duffy still, and will forever, resonate in the minds and hearts of New York State leadership, Non-Profit (Community Action) leadership and more important in that of the hundreds frontline workers who fed, clothed, housed and wrapped their arms around children and families across the state during this pandemic. How wonderful that one man can have such a positive impact on hundreds…and one can only imagine the ripple effect. Thank you for YOU Mike Duffy.❤️

Bianca,
Thank you so much for the opportunity to inspire your staff! You are a wonderful person doing great things every day!

This was my first time using Gigsalad. I followed the prompts on the website, wrote a description of what we were looking for and crossed my fingers that I would get at least one reply back. I was floored when I received a flood of messages and calls of motivational speakers and performers who were interested in working with Starvista. One of these messages came from Mike Duffy. I completed a google search and came to find that his message was exactly what I wanted to present during my companies nonprofit event in Oct. Mike was incredibly easy to work with, prompt, responsive, charming and has a silly sense of humor. Asking for donations during an event can at times be uncomfortable, but Mike's presentation really made a difference in reminding our guests that there is joy in giving, especially to agencies that work hard at developing and providing programs to Children's, families, adolescents and adults who need a bit of help to reach their goals. Mike, THANK YOU again for all that you do !

Mike spoke at our conference as our keynote speaker in October 2022. Before the conference, Mike connected with us on a few occasions to really understand the purpose of our conference, our audience, and what we wanted to achieve with the presentation. Mike listened to our needs and put together a presentation that really delivered and hit the mark. We received such positive feedback about his presentation. Mike's presentation helped us to kick off the conference on such a positive and inspiring note. Thank you Mike!

Thank you, Shane! It was great doing a keynote for the World Broker Network!

Thank you for investing in your volunteers, it’s appreciated!
It was a great session
During Pandemic, I’ve been on many online wellness seminars. I wish I can learn something new but most of the materials I am aware of; however, there was good energy to remind us be happy.
The idea of making somebody as Mentor or Accountable and checking the progress of planned events was really interesting and will help in improving the performance and correcting of desirable goals.
Very powerful presentation. It was a pleasure being a part of the session.
Mike was very inspirational and provided concepts which resonated with me. I was so happy that I was able to attend.

He shared positive, uplifting messages in such an entertaining way. We had one of the highest attendance rates we've ever had at our employee events.

Mike was the perfect keynote speaker for our event and he just was the breath of fresh air that we needed. He was able to find personal stories that related to our group and was able to make general truths and common sense sound like fresh exciting new perspectives. Perfect for our online seminar but we wish we could have seen him in person!

Thank you so much for having me speak at your wonderful corporate event! You have fantastic employees! I had such a great time. I wish you and your amazing company all the best of success.

Mike's enthusiasm and engagement was refreshing, however some aspects were not appropriate the the audience at this event and their reviews reflected this. With that said, Mike is a good speaker and engaging. Our audience is extremely difficult to please and are very accomplished in their own right.
Motivational Speaker

Mike did a great job - our employees loved it!
Business Motivational Speaker

Working with Mike was easy. Mike is a very nice person and had a good message of finding purpose in life and the importance of learning to save and invest in order to be happy by combining purpose and having enough money to help others. Mike obviously had a lot of investing experience and he gave a great motivational talk to a group of about 40 students. The only weakness is that his presentation was a little rushed and also he wasn't able to bring it down to the level of the audience to fully understand how the stock market works or what a Credit Score is and/or means. But very good overall and several students had questions and felt good at the end of the talk.

I've had the chance to hear Mike Duffy speak a number times, and continue to looking forward to the next time. Mike is the real deal: he loves life, friends, family and brings that to each talk!
Industry Expert, Leadership/Success Speaker, Motivational Speaker

I have had the chance to hear Mike speak on several occasions and have always left feeling inspired to embrace happiness. He is sincere, thought provoking, and easy to relate to. I would recommend attending one of his talks if you have the chance. Well worth the time/effort.

I have heard Mike Duffy speak on a couple of occasions. He's knowledgeable, well prepared, and very funny. Really gets his ideas and message across to his audience. I was captivated for the entire talk!
Business Motivational Speaker

He really presents the need for authentic connection with other humans in a way that feels good and doesn’t feel forceful. You can feel his good energy, and having met him in person it matches on screen.
Leadership/Success Speaker, Motivational Speaker

Great speaker, great presentation! I'm stoked and I am on the look out for his books now for near future reading and to stay motivated. I will also look out for future events to see him in person again!
Thank You Again!

Mike Duffy has always been very honest and personable. Always above and beyond. Once you meet him, you will see what I mean, he is so knowledgeable, always thankful for his advice.

Effervescent would be an accurate description of Mike. Had a wonderful time. Wisdom imparted with minimum discomfort. Very funny. He's very friendly and even though he had a throng of people waiting to greet him, I didn't feel rushed. Glad I went.
Motivational Speaker

Mike Duffy isn't just a wealth manager, investment counselor, motivational speaker -- he is the synthesis of all these things. The whole is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts. Imagine someone who can break down the data, look into the best financial options for you and your family, and shine a light on the path to a more fulfilling life. A more fulfilling life: that's what Mike helps discover for his clients and audiences. That is the Duffy Effect.
Author, Industry Expert, Motivational Speaker

From financial presentations to life fulfillment and living a happy life. Mike keeps his audience interested and entertained. Bringing personal and relatable stories with humor.
I was kept interested and motivated from start to end of his Financial presentation in Menlo Park.
Attending his presentation on “Happiness” at Stanford Made me walk out with a different mindset and a new approach to life. He brings a touching way of speaking that keeps audience captivated. Very charismatic!

Mike is an excellent and inspiring speaker. He brings joy and laughter to his audience. I've been to several events where he's been the speaker, and enjoyed every one immensely.
Motivational Speaker

Wow! What a fantastic presentation Mike Duffy did at Stanford. He spoke to the group about happiness and all that it takes to be happy and we were blown away. Inherently we all know that happiness comes from the inside and yet Mike was able to show how our happiness manifests itself in others and spreads to those we love. By examining what makes us happy and how we can determine our own level of happiness, Mike guided us to a happier place. It was just a great event! Thanks, Mike, for your presentation!

Mike's presentation was excellent, inspiring, vibrant, uplifting, caring. Those were my emotions throughout the event. Every seat was filled and nobody left the event until it concluded. Masterful and concise. Everyone should attend this annual event if they want to be totally inspired. Happiness is contagious.
