In this profoundly life-affecting keynote, Combs teaches students exactly how to get the most out of college, tap into their passions, and land a great job. He motivates students to take actions that create lasting, positive life changes. And it is never a run-of-the-mill boring lecture. Patrick keeps it highly interactive, exciting, and fun with giveaway items, props, Power Point, and audience games. From the World's Largest Fastest Group Interview to a shocking and unforgettable ending, this presentation is guaranteed to help student's succeed.

Combs graduated from San Francisco State University, a B student, after paying his way through college managing a rock band. He earned a prestigious job at Levi Strauss & Co. as one of their youngest managers ever, but at 26 he walked away from his high paying job to try and help student's succeed. While writing his first book, and launching himself as a speaker, he went $50,000 in debt in pursuit of his ambitions. To make ends meet, he tested video games for Electronic Arts. By 28 he was a published author, a fixture on the speaking circuit, and sponsored by a Fortune 100 company to tour the 75 biggest schools in America. He closed out his twenties with a guest-starring role on two #1 television shows, Hard Copy and Real TV.

He now makes his living as an author, speaker, success coach, and entertainer.

Patrick's first book, Major in Success, has sold 100,000 copies, is published in three languages and used as a college text at more than 100 universities. He donates 100% of his royalties to charities. His second book, Gearing Up for a Great Life, is also used in schools nationwide, and is an official selection of The Society of Success & Leadership.

Call on him to uplift, entertain and instill increased passion, courage, and purpose in the hearts and minds of your audience. Patrick is in the Motivational Speaker’s Hall of Fame. He has been interviewed one-on-one by Barbara Walters. He’s performed at HBO’s prestigious U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. Everyday more than 40 copies of his books sell somewhere in the world. On-line, every week 13,000 or so people spend more than one hour reading for inspiration and entertainment at his website.
