All of us in our careers fear getting the sack, but not as much as NFL receivers fear getting dumped by the Sack Master himself, DeMarcus Ware.
The former NFL defensive end and outside linebacker played in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. That earned him the reputation of being one of the best to play in his position.
He earned seven consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl while playing for Dallas and a further two with the Broncos and was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. A dangerous pass rusher during his career, he played a key role in the Bronco's Super Bowl 50 win over the Carolina Panthers before signing a one-day contract with Dallas so he could retire as a Cowboy.
DeMarcus is also a member of the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame and the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame and was most recently announced as a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2021.
He is a guy who got to the top of his game and is now on hand to motivate you to get to the top of yours.

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.
