Economic Champions Miniseries - Arel Moodie, Talkadot and Profound Mastermind
Today’s conversation on Talk CNY, presented by NBT Bank, is with Miniseries, Economic Champions host, Kate Hammer and multi-hyphenated entrepreneur, Arel Moodie. You may know him as the host of Disney+ show, "Family Reboot", which is oh so much fun, but in this episode we discuss his current businesses and work as a professional speaker.
Arel is co-founder of the tech start up Talkadot, a top tool for professional speakers allowing them to capture leads, collect data, and prove their value with hard numbers.
He also co-founded Profound Mastermind, where he helps bring together some of the top entrepreneurs and business professionals in Upstate NY to partake in unforgettable experiences with unforgettable humans.
Beyond these exciting ventures, Arel spends quite a bit of time hopping from city to city as a professional speaker. We’re talking 48 states and 5 countries to audiences that add up to three quarters of a million people. Now that’s a big number, in fact if we compare it to the Syracuse metropolitan area, tack on another 100,000 folks and we’re in the ballpark!
Arel has been invited to speak at the White House twice, the TEDx stage three times, and has been quoted in media outlets like Inc. Magazine, The New York Times, Forbes, and many others.
