Brian Miller
Founder & Messaging Consultant
As a young child, Brian Miller struggled with a debilitating speech and social anxiety. But by learning magic tricks he developed confidence and conversation skills, eventually becoming a full-time nationally touring magician and later an international keynote speaker on human connection.
Brian’s talk at TEDxManchesterHighSchool in 2015 went viral with 3,600,000 views and effectively kicked off the human connection revolution.
Today he is the founder of Conquer the Red Dot®, a bespoke private consulting program for experts and leaders who want to book, write, and deliver the talk of their dreams.
He believes “everything that can be said, can be said clearly” - and holds both himself and his clients to the highest standard of communication.
Brian is the recipient of a 2025 Cicero Award for Speechwriting.
Francisco Mahfuz
Lead Consultant & Story Specialist
Francisco Mahfuz has always loved speaking, even before he had anything useful to say. He's been telling stories in front of audiences for a decade, and even became a National Champion of public speaking.
Today, he’s a keynote speaker and storytelling coach trusted by global organizations to inspire teams and individuals to communicate more effectively through intentional storytelling, and his clients include PepsiCo, HP, the United Nations, Santander and Cornell University.
He's the author of "Bare: A Guide to Brutally Honest Public Speaking”, the host of The Storypowers Podcast, and he teaches communication at IESE, one of the top 10 MBAs in the world.
Francisco is the recipient of a 2025 Cicero Award for Speechwriting.
