From underdog to leader, Orrick Quick Sr.’s journey in the world of public speaking has been nothing short of remarkable. After his stunning victory in the 2024 Great American Speakoff, all eyes are on this rising star as he prepares for his next big challenge: a coveted speaking slot at the prestigious 10X Growth Conference. But for Quick, this is just the beginning of a mission to revolutionize the speaking industry and empower others to find their voice.

The 10X Growth Conference, brainchild of renowned entrepreneur Grant Cardone, is not just another speaking event. It’s a gathering of the influential voices in business, personal development, and leadership. For Quick, securing a spot on this stage is both a validation of his talent and a springboard to even greater opportunities.
So how does a speaker prepare for such a monumental opportunity? For Quick, the answer lies in staying true to the strategy that won him the Great American Speakoff: authenticity and adaptability.
This doesn’t mean Quick isn’t preparing. He’s diving deep into research about the conference attendees, their challenges, and their aspirations. “The key is to understand your audience,” he says. “Not so you can tell them what they want to hear, but so you can speak to what they truly need.”
While many speakers at events like the 10X Growth Conference focus on motivation, Quick aims to go deeper. His message is one of true transformation, rooted in his philosophy of unlocking human potential.
Central to this message is Quick’s now-famous quote: “Never allow your past to have a meeting with your future without your potential being present.” It’s a powerful reminder that our potential is always with us, waiting to be tapped into.
As part of his mission to empower others, Quick is developing a unique public speaking curriculum called “Chip on My Shoulder: Turning Challenges into Speaking Power.” This innovative program aims to help individuals, particularly youth, harness their personal experiences – even the challenging ones – as a source of speaking power.
The curriculum, set to launch later this year, will be adaptable for different age groups from middle school to college. It focuses not just on traditional speaking skills, but on authenticity, emotional intelligence, and the ability to craft compelling narratives from personal experiences.
Looking beyond the 10X Growth Conference, Quick has his sights set on using his platform to make a real difference in the world. He’s particularly passionate about addressing issues like youth empowerment and suicide prevention.
As Quick prepares to take the stage at the 10X Growth Conference, he’s not just thinking about his own future – he’s contemplating the future of public speaking itself.
“I think we’re entering a new era of public speaking,” he muses. “One where authenticity trumps polish, where real connection matters more than rehearsed perfection. And I’m excited to be at the forefront of that change.”
Orrick Quick Sr.’s journey from TV host to speaking champion to 10X Growth Conference speaker is more than just a personal success story. It’s an invitation for all of us to find our voice, share our story, and make an impact.
