WORKED WITH

For the past eleven years, I’ve been one of the most booked motivational speakers for college campuses, inspiring college students to get the best out of college life. 

I was the first in my family to attend college. Though I was the #1 track recruit in the nation for the 200-meter dash, getting there was not easy. I passed the ACT after many attempts by a single point, days before the deadline to get in for the semester. Turning adversity to my advantage has always been my strong suit. Stepping foot on FSU’s campus was only the beginning - I wanted to graduate first in my family with a solid education, countless wins on the track, and experiences to push me into my next journey. 

It took me instilling detailed, success-driven habits to excel in all areas of my university career. Balance is a virtue to every college student and I’ve succeeded in finding that steadiness with music, fraternity, Dean’s List academics and my athletic career. 

Through my relatable story, customized message, and practical advice, I want your campus students to experience what it means to THRIVE so they may become the best version of themselves during college and beyond. 

Yo, I'm Charles Clark
