Keynote Speaker  ·  4x Guinness World Records
Available for High School Assemblies & Keynotes

Most people spend their whole life one decision away from the life they actually want.

Chad Kempel is a father of seven, a 4x Guinness World Records holder, and a keynote speaker for high schools with an MA in Experimental Psychology. He doesn’t ask students to take his word for anything. He hands them proof they can check on their phones.

The short version.

Before his quintuplets were born, doctors said they probably wouldn’t survive. Before his first world record, he missed the qualifying time twice, in public. And before any of that, he and his wife held their twin sons as they died.

So when Chad stands in a gym and says anything is possible, he isn’t reading it off a poster. He made the “Anything Is Possible” sign for his father, before an Ironman he dedicated to him, and carried it across four Guinness World Records finish lines. His father’s gone now. The sign is in a museum in Copenhagen. The belief didn’t go anywhere.
