Looking for a Speaker Who’s a Business Growth Specialist, Health & Mindset Pro, and...according to his kids...thinks he’s a Comedian? Let’s Connect
So, if you’re looking for a motivational guru who will tell you to visualize your dreams while balancing a green juice on your head, or someone who spends an hour telling you to ‘think outside the box’ while staying comfortably inside their own, or a speaker who insists the secret to success is a crystal collection and moon bathing—well, I can definitely point you in the right direction.
But if you’re after someone who brings real-world experience, a whole lot of humour, and some hard-hitting insights that actually get results, then look no further. Here I am!
I’ve been around the block a few times, having launched and grown 15 businesses, appeared on Shark Tank, and even set a Guinness World Record for ice baths—because nothing says “business chops” like freezing your behind off in the name of personal and business growth! And I promise, my talks aren’t your typical business speeches. They’re packed with wisdom, unconventional strategies, and yes, my signature dad jokes. Let’s make business fun and, more importantly, effective!

Testimonials

Emmily Fuller
Deputy Principal, Bakers Hill Primary School
Nathan delivered an engaging and enjoyable day for our students, guiding them through a well-structured series of progressive business-building activities that encouraged them to collaborate, problem-solve, think creatively and step outside their comfort zones. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and our staff appreciated the energy, enthusiasm and expertise Nathan brought to the day.

Tiyon L. Simpson
Founder, T L Simpson Enterprises (TLSE)
Nathan was a recent guest on my podcast – “The Life of Someone Extraordinary” and immediately I knew that due to his vast experience and business expertise, he would not only contribute a great deal of value to the show (which he did) but also that he was able to take the time to talk about business in a way that brought us both genuine joy.
Nathan is highly energetic, a lot of fun to interview but is also highly broad in the range of subjects and frameworks that he could bring to your own show or speaking engagement. We ranged from dopamine, scale, sales, health, marketing – and pretty much everything else in between could have been covered if not for time. It was a pleasure to work with you Nathan, thank you for endorsing what I am building and I wish you every continued success.

Dij Phukan
CEO, Salesgasm
I had the pleasure of having Nathan Baws as the MC for the Intrigue MADVerse Summit in Perth, and he did an outstanding job. Nathan brought great energy, professionalism, and warmth to the stage, keeping the event flowing smoothly and engaging the audience throughout. He managed his role exceptionally well, connected naturally with the speakers and delegates, and made sure everyone had a great experience.
Nathan also delivered an energetic and highly practical opening keynote to an audience of 200 of Perth’s leading marketing minds, including CEOs, founders, business leaders and senior marketing professionals.
Speaking to a room packed with some of the city’s most experienced marketers, Nathan shared immediately actionable strategies for using joint ventures to build trust, dramatically expand reach and generate new sales opportunities.
With plenty of humour woven throughout, he kept the room laughing, engaged and entertained while delivering serious commercial value. His combination of real-world business experience, energy and ability to turn powerful growth strategies into simple, memorable actions made for a standout opening keynote.
It was clear from the feedback and interactions that people genuinely enjoyed having him as part of the summit. I’d happily recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a confident, engaging, and professional MC who knows how to bring an event to life.

Nathan Baws In-Person Meeting

Jordan Ghorbani
Student
Nathan Baws showed resilience by treating failure as a learning opportunity, staying positive, and bouncing back from setbacks. He spoke about how two restaurants he opened failed and cost him a lot of money, but instead of giving up, he saw it as a learning curve. He stayed positive and used the experience to improve, eventually pivoting to an online business. This allowed him to rebuild and create a successful system across online, in-store, and wholesale channels, and he now owns 19 businesses, each teaching him something different.

Elli Lieberman
Student
One experience Nathan shared with us was from his time in the UK property industry, when he was trying to sell a flat. He went out on the street with an ugly-looking poster to try to catch people’s attention. Not only did he sell the flat, but he also made newspapers in places like Qatar. This shows that thinking differently and not giving up on an idea can grow into success.

Ryan Shave
Entrepreneur Coordinator / High School Teacher
Nathan Baws had a powerful impact on our students. His authentic storytelling and real-world insights helped them see that failure is not the end, but a critical step towards growth and success. Our students left his session thinking differently about entrepreneurship – and that is the mark of an exceptional speaker.

Curtis Davies
Podcast Host
I highly recommend Nathan as a speaker and guest expert. He joined my podcast and immediately stood out for his energy, clarity, and ability to deliver genuinely fresh insights on business growth.
Nathan’s topics are incredibly unique, he brings a different perspective to performance, mindset, strategy, and growth that I haven’t heard presented the same way before. He doesn’t do generic “business motivation”; he gives practical, memorable frameworks and ideas that keep an audience engaged and thinking long after the session ends.
The response from our listeners was outstanding, the episode generated over 23,000 downloads in the first week of release and the feedback we received confirmed how strongly Nathan’s message lands. If you’re looking for a speaker who can bring originality, value, and real impact to a room, Nathan delivers.
