David Pride is a professional youth speaker whose talks on overcoming adversity, entrepreneurship, and how to plan for success have taken him across the country and around the world.

David’s memorable hairstyle makes him stand out in a crowd, but it’s his big smile and uniquely entertaining and informative approach that have inspired audiences as far away as Iqaluit, Nunavut—a town in the Arctic Circle where David spoke about growing the local economy using social media.

A frequent speaker at high schools, colleges and youth groups, David shares his personal story as a cancer survivor and young entrepreneur to inspire young people to set goals and pursue their dreams no matter what adversity and challenges lie in their path.
