For Harrison Ward, also known as the Fell Foodie, the mountains are his solace, gym, and kitchen. However, it hasn't always been this way.
Harrison's journey to leading a life and career as an outdoor cook, hiker, and mental health speaker began in 2016 when he reached a point where he knew he needed to turn his life around. Having experienced depression and suicidal thoughts as a child, he later turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism while at university.
He moved into the pub trade in the city and soon found himself overweight, drinking up to 20 pints a day and smoking full time. Eventually, things came to a head in 2016, and Harrison vowed to get sober, remove alcohol from his life, and stop smoking in order to turn his life around. Now he shares his incredible journey to inspire and bring hope to others. If your team are in need of the kickstart to help them overcome any challenge they might face, get inspired with Harrison.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
