Hidden Gems: Meet James Malinchak of James Malinchak Speaking and Training

Today we’d like to introduce you to James Malinchak

Hi James, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I grew up in Monessen, Pennsylvania, a small steel-mill town outside of Pittsburgh, population of about 6,000 people. As a family, we didn’t have much while growing up. My Dad Walter worked as a railroad conductor for the local steel-mill and my Mom Betty worked as a lunch mother at the local school serving lunches to the kids.

I have three siblings:
(1) Brother Wally, who is now a retired Entrepreneur
(2) Sister Cindy, who serves as my Executive Assistant for my speaking, training and coaching business
(3) Sister Vicki, who passed away of a brain tumor

A big part of my inspiration in life comes from my sister Vicki who died from a brain tumor. Having the chance to spend quality brother-and-sister time with Vicki during the last few months of her life, was the greatest blessing God has ever given me in my life.

Because of becoming a successful Entrepreneur, I began getting asked to deliver motivational and business-building talks for corporations, colleges, youth groups, Professional Athletes and Coaches and Entrepreneur groups and became very successful giving around 3,000 presentations (still do speak a lot).

Because of that success as a paid speaker, numerous aspiring, beginning and experienced speakers asked me to teach them how to do the same. So, several years ago, I also became a business marketing coach and created what is now called “The #1 Big Money Speaker Training” for anyone who wants to make a difference and get paid for sharing their life story, experience, advice and how-to information.

Currently, I’m blessed to be recognized as one of the most requested, in-demand business and motivational keynote speakers and marketing consultants in the world. I was featured on the Hit ABC TV Show, Secret Millionaire and was twice named National “College Speaker of the Year.” I’ve delivered over 3,000+ presentations for corporations, associations, business groups, colleges, universities and youth organizations worldwide and can speak for groups ranging from 20-30,000+.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
