Book Corey for Your
Next Speaking Event
Former NFL wide receiver, business acquirer, real estate developer, best-selling author, and father. Corey Parchman delivers talks that move rooms because every word comes from a life that has actually been lived at the highest level.
- Signature Talks
Four Talks. One Speaker.
Every Stage Has a Version That Hits.
Each talk draws from a different chapter of Corey’s life and reaches a different audience. All four are available as standalone keynotes, paired sessions, or customized for your event.
EtA Conferences · Banking Events · Entrepreneurship Summits · M&A Forums
Most entrepreneurs spend years building from scratch, burning capital, grinding through the learning curve, and hoping the market shows up. What almost nobody tells them is that 6 million Baby Boomer businesses are for sale right now, with customers, cash flow, and decades of reputation already built. Corey has spent 20 years acquiring and operating these businesses and delivers this message with the urgency and precision it demands.
- Key topics include:
- The Silver Tsunami: 6 million businesses, 10 trillion dollars in value, and why the window closes by 2032
- Why buying beats building in every measurable category that actually matters.
- The human edge: why retiring sellers choose the right person over the biggest check.
- How to find, evaluate, and close your first acquisition using SBA 7(a) financing.
Corporate Keynotes · YPO / EO · Leadership Summits · Universities · Sports Business
The NFL does not care about your potential. It cares about what you do when everything is on the line. Corey bridges the locker room and the boardroom the way only someone who has lived in both can, delivering a practical leadership framework about discipline, identity, and resilience that has been pressure-tested in professional sports and two decades of business.
- Key topics include:
- The preparation gap: why most leaders prepare for the meeting, not for when it falls apart.
- Identity before outcome: building something that survives the end of your playing career.
- Relationship capital: the only currency that compounds faster than money.
- What losing looks like at the highest level and how to use it instead of just survive it.
Not Theory.
Real Life
Experience
All of Corey’s speaking topics are grounded in real-life experience. Join him on a journey as he shares the real situations he has lived through and the lessons that came from them. These are talks you do not want to miss.
Healthcare Conferences · Fertility Clinics · Men's Wellness Events · HR Benefits Events
When Corey and his wife began their IVF journey, he searched for resources that spoke directly to him as a man and found almost nothing. He then wrote the best-selling IVF Playbook for Men and became one of the only credible male voices in this conversation. This keynote is for men navigating the journey in silence, healthcare professionals who treat them, and organizations that want to support them honestly.
- Key topics include:
- Why men disappear emotionally during infertility and what it costs them and their partners.
- The process explained from a man's perspective: what to expect, what to ask, what to do.
- Grief, identity, and masculinity: the emotional terrain nobody prepares men for.
- How Corey's NFL mental conditioning became his greatest asset in the fertility clinic.
Faith Events · Diversity Summits · Fatherhood Initiatives · HBCU Forums
Corey lost his father at an early age. That loss did not announce itself as a turning point — it just arrived, the way the hardest things always do. What came after was a choice: let the absence define the story, or let it drive the chapter that followed. Corey chose to build — a career, a family, a company, and a legacy that started with what his father left him. Not the things. The standard.
- Key topics include:
- What early loss teaches about legacy and why it clarifies everything that comes after.
- The father you did not have and the father you choose to become.
- How the IVF journey reshaped Corey’s definition of strength and showing up.
- Building a life your children can point to, not just inherit.
