November 5th Luncheon

This luncheon will be at Maggiano's!!

Speaker: Red O'Laughlin

Red O’Laughlin is a distinguished researcher, best-selling author, and international public speaker dedicated to exploring the intricate chemical reactions in the human body at the cellular level. With a keen focus on uncovering cause-and-effect relationships, Red emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes rather than merely treating symptoms. He often states, “Treat symptoms, and you will always treat symptoms. You must treat the cause of a problem to correct it.”

Red is the author of eight insightful books covering personal growth, health and wellness, writing, and religion. His expertise spans health and wellness, longevity, and age-related diseases. In addition to his writing, Red has served as a military and corporate trainer and a college educator, sharing his knowledge with diverse audiences.

As a Distinguished Toastmaster, he has delivered hundreds of engaging speeches to audiences of all sizes, inspiring individuals to pursue healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Being a published author is one way to establish credibility as a business owner. Public speaking is another way. At a Toastmasters meeting, I spoke about how being introduced as a published author increases the speaker’s credibility, mainly when the speaker writes in the same field they speak. About a year later, one of the members of that meeting tracked me down. He had written a book but could not get it published. Three weeks later, he had a copy of his new book in his hands.

I have spoken at many venues including the NATO School in Oberammergau, Germany, International Logistics Symposiums, Professional Society meetings, Senior Corporate and Military Staffs, and over 125 presentations on the USA Global TV & Radio Network Talking Heads show. Additionally, I have taught statistics at the college level for three years.
