Max is a popular speaker on his ultra-distance journeys and has given over 50 talks on his 2015 Appalachian Trail thru-hike. He has spoken at conferences, AGMs, service clubs (eg Rotary), hiking clubs, libraries, youth development courses, sports organisations and churches. After cycling across Australia in late 2019 he was gearing up for a string of appearances in 2020. Unfortunately Covid postponed his guest speaking activities but 2021 is looking very promising.
Presentations can be adapted to the audience and are always entertaining and inspirational! Max is able to adapt the length of his presentations according to the audience and the event.
The Appalachian Trail talks includes beautiful photos of mountains and fascinating Trail characters. They feature amusing stories of trail life, and touch on the the mental techniques Max used to keep going when he was was exhausted. The underlying message is that anyone in the audience can use these mental techniques for any time in life when the going is tough.
Max’s 2019 cycle ride which crossed Australia from south to north from Adelaide to Darwin covered 3000km and took six weeks. Cycling through the heat of the Australian desert is another entertaining story!
Max lives in Melbourne, Australia.
