Ant Middleton is known for his expertise in extreme adventure and positive mindset. His career in the UK's elite forces includes the Marines, 9 Parachute Squadron, and the Special Boat Service. Joining the armed forces at 16, he quickly advanced, excelling as a point man, primary fires operator, and sniper, ultimately completing the Special Forces Selection.

Ant gained fame as Chief Instructor on the TV show SAS: Who Dares Wins and helped establish SAS Australia, promoting resilience and mental strength. His adventurous spirit has led him to various successful shows, including 'Mutiny,' which re-enacted Captain William Bligh's 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' and 'Escape,' where engineers face survival challenges. In 2019, he climbed Mount Everest during a life-threatening storm, showcasing the allure and risks of such feats.

In 2022, Ant summited K2, further establishing his reputation as an explorer. His Sky One series 'Straight Talking' features road trips with celebrities like Liam Payne and Rebel Wilson, offering deeper connections with his guests. In 2023, he hosted 'Million Dollar Island,' where contestants competed for a $1 million prize.

Ant will appear on Australian screens in 'Dancing With The Stars' in mid-2024, alongside other upcoming projects. He captivates audiences in the UK and Australia with live shows like 'Mind Over Muscle' and the 2024 tour 'Fear Bubble: Your Life, Your Time,' sharing insights from his military life and training.

His Head Game Podcast frequently tops the Australian charts, featuring guests who share stories of resilience. Ant has sold over 2.3 million books worldwide, with four non-fiction bestsellers achieving Sunday Times Best Seller status. His latest release, 'The Wall,' and his debut fiction thriller, 'Cold Justice,' highlight his versatility as an author.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
