Wait, two speakers at the same time? Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are a rare speaking duo whose partnership itself is a huge part of the message. One is expressive, the other reflective. One leads with bold energy, the other with quiet depth. One speaks to the head, the other to the heart. One sparks curiosity, the other deepens it. Together, Colin and Garrett remind audiences that there is no single right way to lead, sell, or be authentic… and that's the point. They are best friends in real life and do nearly everything together. They teach together, write together, speak together, and yes, argue together. Their differences don't divide them; they reveal them. What starts as two perspectives always ends at the same finish line, creating a kind of chemistry and coherence that audiences can feel immediately and see themselves somewhere in between that duality.
And yes, you get both of them for the price of one. Their dynamic tag-team style allows audiences to witness contrast become connection, genuine ideation in real time.

Through their talks, they teach audiences how to grow that kind of curiosity, the kind that drives understanding, creates trust, and unlocks possibility.
They deliver business transformation through human transformation.
