I'm a disruptive innovator and entrepreneur with a drive for integrity and honesty. My final gig is as a successful international speaker, author and entrepreneur. Oh, and I've given away over $1 Billion. My website is at https://terryspeaks.com and has demos and bios of my two key topics: * "The $80 Billion Gamble"- How a lotto ticket, hot dogs and Bigfoot solved the largest lottery fraud in US history and "Creating and Innovative Environment" explaining how my business nickname became "Idea Dude" During the appointment by three Governors, my leadership increased lottery sales and profits by 50%. I also led the Blank Park Zoo to profitability from a $600,000 deficit while positioning it as the second largest attended attraction in the state. I headed the team that cracked the largest lottery fraud in US history and gave away over a billion dollars to lottery winners, I've started four successful entrepreneurial businesses, and have numerous national media appearances including all three major networks, HBO, CNN, CNBC, USA Today and The New York Times; an on-air movie host on Starz!; and appeared as a panel guest on the "Tonight Show". You'll hear from a disruptive innovator and entrepreneur with a drive for integrity and honesty. I've worked in the trenches, survived the new business trends and had success with generational changes. And you may have heard me as I fill in as a talk show host on iHeart radio
