• Nick Morrison

  Comedian

  Nick Morrison is a former Professional Bull Rider who is now an International Keynote Speaker and #1 Best Selling Author. After a medical reaction to over 50 recorded concussions, Nick was left fully mute. Without health insurance coverage, or the available funds to afford the rehab needed to recover, he was faced with the reality that he may never be able to speak again. Through sheer grit and determination Nick taught himself to speak again, one word at a time, all on his own. He now travels the world motivating others to find the positive in any situation, focus only on the things they can control, and how to push their performance to other levels on the days they don't feel like they can. Nick also speaks about the dangers of ignoring concussions, and how to navigate the aftermath of having too many concussions in a short amount of time. Aside from his motivational speaking, Nick also has found a way to bring joy to audiences all over the country as a clean stand-up comedian.
