SPEAKER GENERAL

Alon is a professional speaker. He talks. People listen. Some call his words ear candy. I won’t because that’s disgusting. Alon’s encyclopedic movie knowledge is so vast that when he talks business strategy, it’s like “The Matrix” —  mind-bending experience where everything you thought you knew gets redefined!

 

Many of his presentations revolve around Batman and entrepreneurship. Because, let’s be honest … that dude built an empire out of a garage full of Bat Poop. But wait there’s more … Alon covers all kinds of movies and gives great advice for real estate developers, architects, and zoning lawyers, because even Batman can’t fight NIMBY’s alone.  

 

As a professor, Alon thoroughly enjoys passing on his knowledge to the young, energy drink-addled minds of our youth. This new generation with an attention span shorter than the time it takes to say “Attention Deficit Disorder.” Don’t worry. They’ll never read this. It’s not a 4-second TikTok video.

 

I’m sure Alon would love to come speak wherever you are. Unless it’s a kid’s birthday party. In that case, you’re going to want to hire a clown who magically pulls handkerchiefs from his ears. Kinda like... ear candy… whoa. Told ya’ I could spell “handkerchief”…

(Nailed it… See Composer/Playwright tab… score.)

 

Alon’s Entrepreneur Organization (EO) speaker rating is a 9.4! Rumor is that he donated .6 of his rating to Tony Robbins to squash their longstanding beef.

 

When Alon isn’t busy making old buildings funky again, he’s often found guest lecturing at universities nationwide. Yes, he's hit the big leagues: Harvard, Cornell, UPenn, Drexel, Temple, and Tulane—where he’s now a professor—using movie clips to teach negotiations and real estate development classes, because who needs textbooks when you have Netflix?

 

Alon doesn’t just entertain; he leaves audiences in stitches. His high-energy, laugh-out-loud presentations are packed with rapid-fire, easily-digestible, practical takeaways. (Imagine your favorite college professor, a Comic-Con fanboy, and a street-smart entrepreneur all rolled up into one.)

 

Looking for a Dynamic Speaker? Look no further! Alon is ready to bring his unique blend of expertise, humor, and snark to your next university or conference event. As the author of three groundbreaking books - The Gotham Principles, Attack of the 50 Foot Developer, and The Secret Formula: The Developer’s Guide to Nailing Neighborhood Approvals - Alon offers insightful and entertaining sessions that challenge conventional thinking and inspire action.

TESTIMONIALS

“Alon’s smart and sincere approach to analyzing industrial psychology through a superhero lens is an unparalleled fun-filled hour, where participants find themselves experiencing many aha moments. This presentation is unique – unlike any other speaker I’ve ever heard. It offers so many easy to consume actionable ideas that add immediate value in how to approach communicating, staffing, and planning in business in the most clever, light-hearted, hilarious way.”

"Once you learn his unique angle on superheroes, you will never watch another Marvel or DC Comics blockbuster the same way again! Every time one of these movies come out it reminds me of the ’Gotham Principles’ and I immediately apply it to my business."

“Alon is positively one of the most interesting thought leaders on the Internet and on the entrepreneurial speaker circuit! His analysis of how Batman fights crime in a way that’s so much better than Superman may sound simple at first, but it’s incredibly astute. His unconventional content is remarkably applicable to the day-to-day battles we face as entrepreneurs that you will wonder how after seeing all of those masks and capes on the big screen you missed these insider business tips yourself!

“If you get a chance to sit and speak with Alon, you will undoubtedly get a healthy dose of real examples of superhero-inspired, proven thoughtful business strategies. He is a successful entrepreneur who practices what he preaches. He speaks like your favorite college professor, your 8th grade best friend who you traded action figures with, a late-night talk show host, and a street-smart start-up visionary, all rolled up into one.”

“Wow! What a remarkable keynote speaker! Alon’s high-energy, laugh-out-loud presentation style was exactly what we needed first thing in the morning at our regional conference. He hit us like a double shot of espresso from Starbucks with a rapid-fire, easily digestible, action-packed presentation! I’m a lifelong Superman fan, so at first when I heard that he was going to rip The Man of Steel apart, I was worried, and my wife didn’t know how my childhood fascination with superheroes would have anything to do with running our business, but within seconds, we got it! The two of us were riveted, hanging on every word the entire time. Alon definitely knows his stuff and was so entertaining and eye-opening that if he were speaking at our next conference, we would definitely go to hear him speak for a second time.

"Chock full of useful takeaways, but his delivery embraces the same satirical sense of humor that you’d expect from night out at a comedy club! I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and then went out and bought the book!”
