Professional Bio / Keynotes [+]
My keynote bio has to be a sales pitch to keep me paying Trend Hunter's bills' but luckily this bio let's you see who I really am. So thanks for reading and GREETINGS!
My name is Jeremy Gutsche, and I'm the fun-loving rebel who founded TrendHunter.com. I'm an outgoing guy that loves the world and trying to make people laugh.
Generally, I'm inclined to break rules.
I would describe myself as enthusiastic, creative and social. My friends would describe me as hyperactive, short attention spanned and easily distracted. (Mom, this is my attempt at humor.)
A cowboy entrepreneur at heart, I grew up riding dirt bikes and ski racing just outside Calgary, Alberta, home of the Wild West and the legendary Calgary Stampede. I'm the son of a psychotherapist and a venture capitalist; the younger brother of an art historian. Perhaps I ended up somewhere in the middle of the three' After all, I really like new ventures, meeting new people and artistic creativity.
Like many adventurous souls, I always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but I didn't know what my big idea was going to be. Accordingly, I founded TrendHunter.com as a place where people could exchange business ideas. Along the way, I hoped to find my own.
I've always been obsessed with graphic design, problem solving, and the discovery of new things, which made Trend Hunter my perfect hobby. In the early days, I'd design and code Trend Hunter until 4am while working during the day as a business director at Capital One.
Today, I design and code Trend Hunter until 4am because I like it.
I'm truly content that pouring my heart into Trend Hunter has resulted in a role where my job and hobby are the same thing.
I'm most in the zone when performing keynotes on stage. I fear that many presenters are skilled academics or managers who lack the entertainment fuel needed to spark a revolution. So this is what I aspire to deliver. I like to think of my performances as a mixture of stand-up comedy, audience interaction, big ideas and talking in a really loud voice. I love multimedia presentations and I draw my own animated stick men. Always.
I love meeting Trend Hunters, so if we ever rendezvous, feel free to intrigue me with your random ideas, social media tidbits, favorite YouTube videos, quotes from “30 Rock†or tales of rebellious innovation.
Cheers,
Jeremy
