Change is the Fire. AI is the Accelerant.
AI is already reshaping your industry. This is your chance to move first. Are you running towards it or hoping it passes you by?
Brad Hauck | Keynote Speaker & Firefighter
Brad Hauck isn't your typical AI speaker. He's a frontline Australian volunteer firefighter who has attended hundreds of wildfires and emergencies, and spent 25 years at the sharp end of digital marketing and business growth. That combination isn't a gimmick. Fighting fires teaches you things about change, pressure, and decisive action that no boardroom ever could.
Having spoken at conferences in 54 countries since 2009, Brad brings a no-hype, straight-talking perspective to AI adoption that audiences don't forget. His keynotes combine real operational firefighting frameworks with practical strategies that audiences can act on immediately.
Bestselling author of Run Towards the Flames, AI Powered Profits, and Micro Course Profits.
Three keynotes. One clear message: the fire is already in the paddock. The only question is how you respond.
Brad's Keynote Speech Topics
The Ember Attack: Is AI Already Inside Your Business?
Most businesses are watching for the obvious AI threat. The one coming straight at them, loudly, on the news. That's the wrong fire to be watching.
Between 85 and 90 percent of homes lost in Australian bushfires aren't destroyed by direct flame. They're destroyed by embers that travel kilometres ahead of the fire front, landing quietly, starting fires inside homes before anyone sees the blaze.
AI is doing the same thing to your industry right now.
This keynote maps the AI trajectory most organisations are missing — not where the technology is today but where it's heading and what that means for how you compete, how you hire and how you position your business over the next five years.
Audiences leave with a clear picture of what's coming, why most organisations are positioned badly for it and what the first practical moves look like.
Perfect for: Corporate conferences, business associations, industry events, leadership summits
Run Towards the Flames: Leading Your People Through the AI Revolution
Every human instinct says run from fire. Firefighters run toward it because it's the only way to control it before it controls you.
Most organisations right now are in freeze mode on AI. Leaders are waiting for certainty that isn't coming. Teams are confused about what to use, what to trust and what their jobs look like in two years. The hesitation is understandable. It's also expensive.
This isn't a talk about the technology. It's about how leaders make decisions under pressure, communicate with clarity and build teams that move with purpose instead of panic.
Audiences leave with a practical three-part framework they can apply the following week — for assessing AI readiness, communicating change to their teams and building a culture that runs toward hard problems rather than away from them.
Perfect for: Leadership conferences, C-suite events, HR and organisational development summits
Spot Fires: Five AI Opportunities Already Burning Through Your Market
In a bushfire, spot fires are the ones that catch you off guard. They jump kilometres ahead of the main front, starting new blazes in places you weren't watching. By the time you see them, they've already taken hold.
Five AI applications are doing exactly this in your market right now — quietly reshaping how businesses sell, train their teams, make decisions and compete for attention. Most businesses are watching the main fire. Their competitors are already running towards the spot fires.
No hype. No jargon. Each of the five comes with a clear implementation roadmap so audiences leave with specific next steps they can act on immediately — not ideas to think about on the flight home.
Perfect for: Corporate conferences, technology summits, entrepreneur events, industry associations
Most small businesses don't have a marketing problem. They have a clarity problem.
