Alden Mills Speaker Biography

Author, entrepreneur, and Navy SEAL Alden Mills is on a mission to help people be Unstoppable by leading and serving to their full potential.

His motto is “To lead is to serve–and to serve is to care.” Alden has been leading, serving, and caring his whole career. It all started at age 12 when Alden’s doctor told him to play chess because his asthma wouldn’t allow him to play sports.

Alden took this on as a personal challenge. He threw himself into sports and became a nationally ranked rower, a gold medalist at the Olympic Festival, and captain of the freshman and varsity teams at the U.S. Naval Academy. Alden then became a Navy SEAL, earning the top leadership post of platoon commander three times.

Alden then founded one of the nation’s fastest growing consumer product companies, Perfect Fitness, skyrocketing it to $95 million in sales in just three years. There, he developed a patented product–the Perfect Pushup. Collectively, Alden holds over 40 product patents.

When he’s not keynoting or facilitating workshops, Alden advises a number of executives and companies. Alden is also wrangling four teenage boys with his wife, and planning his next great climb on one of the world’s highest peaks.

Speech Topics

All of Alden’s keynotes are customized to fit the objectives and audience of each event.

UNSTOPPABLE MINDSET: THE MENTALITY AND TOOLS FOR ACHIEVING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL
With over 40 years of experience overcoming challenges in business and life, Alden Mills brings a unique perspective on what it means to be unstoppable at accomplishing more than was thought possible. We all have natural obstacles in our path. When we learn to conquer those obstacles, we realize that our biggest obstacle is our mindset. The challenge is understanding how to harness the very things we can control to help us find the success we seek.

This keynote dives into the key differentiator of success stopping us from reaching and surpassing potential — an Unstoppable Mindset. Alden weaves together riveting stories, inspiration, and practical tools to teach the Mindset Fundamentals to become unstoppable, regardless of industry, environment, or situation. Much more than just a motivational experience, he shares a system that enables people to tackle tough challenges, use change to their advantage, and seize bold opportunities time and time again.

UNSTOPPABLE TEAMS: THE ACTIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR BUILDING AND LEADING HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS
As Alden Mills advanced from personal success to leading teams in sports, military, business, and nonprofits, he learned group success is determined by a leader’s ability to build and lead teams. Whether a team is formed remotely or in-person, by mandate or inheritance, formally or organically, team leaders exist to bridge the gap between the outcomes sought and the team that can achieve them.

This keynote explores the universal leadership essentials to build high-performing Unstoppable Teams that continuously surpass what they set out to achieve. Alden demonstrates how leaders can drive greater alignment, trust, and outsized contributions. He shares the five phases of unstoppable team development and the key actions to implement each phase. Using his C.A.R.E. Loop, he provides a roadmap to activate and effectively turn groups of individuals into Unstoppable Teams.

UNSTOPPABLE CULTURE: THE PRACTICES AND ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS FOR ENDURING ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS
Following the initial success of Perfect Fitness, Alden Mills and his team lost their way. Laser-focused on growth and profit, the company began to falter. To get back on track and ensure ongoing success, they regrouped and established a prominent culture.

This keynote details how stakeholders in senior leadership and human resources build an Unstoppable Culture to drive lasting employee engagement, competitive advantage, and outsized growth. Through personal stories, checklists, and live exercises, Alden shows how to close culture gaps by building intentional structure, dynamic practices, and congruent values that leaders and teams apply together — day after day, week after week. Attendees learn the behaviors and tools that create an Unstoppable Culture by embedding the three Ps–Promise, People, and Process – a practical three-part framework to close the gap between an organization’s existing culture and activating what he calls the 10x Advantage to create an Unstoppable Culture.

“If you’re looking for a dynamic speaker and masterful storyteller, who you’ll truly love working with and who will pour valuable insight and inspiration into your audience, look no further than Alden Mills. We booked him for our August 2019 cityCURRENT Reception and Signature Breakfast in Nashville and he was AMAZING! He took the time to get to know our organization and different audiences, and then customized his presentations and messages so that they perfectly fit the theme of our events. His presentations were jam-packed with captivating stories and powerful lessons that covered everything from leadership and teamwork to entrepreneurialism and community service. His rare background of serving our country as a Navy SEAL and becoming a successful entrepreneur, business owner and inventor gives him a point of reflection that’s extremely unique and valuable. He received a standing ovation and our attendees are still raving about him. We’re already working on booking him again in another market, so I cannot say enough nice things about Alden Mills, his level of professionalism and service, his quality as a speaker, and the job he can do for you. My advice: book him and see for yourself! You’ll be just as impressed!” – Jeremy C. Park, CEO of cityCURRENT

“Event planners are always on the lookout for speakers who bring it all—a deep level of focus on the
audience, frameworks that connect with people, and a ‘fired up!’ attitude. Alden Mills has the whole
package . He has an undeniable knack for moving attendees into a place where their full leadership
potential is possible. During the pre-call, I learned why: Alden applies his own work to his life, every day,
looking for continuous improvement as a speaker and workshop facilitator. His energy is infectious, his
teachings spot-on, and his empathy for the audience endless as far as I can tell. Alden models “unstoppable”
leadership. I will book him again soon.”

“The only easy day was yesterday,” so goes the motto for the Navy SEALs. It’s true. Life was easy before my team and I met Alden Mills. Ever since, the ambition to be unstoppable has been our rallying cry. Alden first impressed me with the meticulous level of precision with which he prepared to address our team.

He understood our firm’s mission and values, our roles, and even our philosophies. It’s clear this wasn’t just another gig for him; he forged a deep connection and conveyed a sincere interest to transform our thinking. During the main event, Alden was captivating. He perfectly mixed all of the ingredients to craft a bespoke feast for our eyes, ears, and spirit. Filled with wit, shock, strategy, engagement, and distinct personalities from his career, Alden had us hypnotized with artfully chosen words and movements. If you want someone to make you happy, call a therapist. If you want an ex-Navy SEAL and entrepreneur to make you better, call Alden.”
