They say public speaking is the most common fear in the world. But Thomas Frank isn’t afraid of anything. Even spiders. Even speaking publicly… to spiders.
On stage, Thomas is an engaging and dynamic speaker, providing insight on topics students truly care about.
Thomas has spoken at multiple universities including Iowa State University, Luther College, Simpson College, and St. Michael’s College, as well as at numerous events, including VidCon, Menfluential, FinCon, Iowa State freshman orientation seminars, and for the ISU Honors Program.
He’s been featured in U.S. News, FOX Business, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, The Des Moines Register, the Iowa State Daily, Silicon Prairie News, and more.
He also hosts a popular podcast, in which he discusses all aspects of college success and interviews successful students, public figures, and experts in areas related to college.

Pulling from his personal experience and knowledge he imparted to students how they can differentiate themselves both on a professional and personal level.
