Alex Honnold's free solo climbing career has catapulted him to the front page of National Geographic, earned him a feature in the New York Times, and made him the star of his own Emmy-nominated documentary, "Alone on the Wall." Staying calm under pressure and maintaining an unbreakable mindset are just two of the essential traits Alex carries with him when he finds himself in the heart of a 3000ft wall with no support. Constantly striving for true mastery, Alex's story has the power to teach valuable lessons to all who listen.
His TED Talk, which has garnered close to 10 million views, imparts wisdom on being prepared – just one of the many lessons he shares. When he's not seeking his next adventure, Alex dedicates his time to his non-profit organization, the Honnold Foundation.
Together with his team, they work towards making solar energy accessible for all. Interestingly, Alex's mother, Dierdre Wolownick, is an accomplished climber in her own right. If you're eager to learn what it takes to make the right decisions when they truly matter or are interested in implementing a more sustainable initiative within your organisation, Alex's experiences can offer much to be gained.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
