Famous speaker Arnold Schwarzenegger has lived one of the most remarkable lives of our time, succeeding at the highest level in sport, entertainment, business, and public service. Born in Thal, Austria, he became the youngest man ever to win Mr. Universe at 20, emigrated to the United States in 1968, and went on to win seven Mr. Olympia titles, transforming bodybuilding into a global phenomenon.
He then became one of the biggest movie stars in the world. After winning a Golden Globe as New Male Star of the Year for Stay Hungry, he starred in Conan the Barbarian, James Cameron’s The Terminator, and a string of blockbusters whose combined box office exceeds $3 billion. In 2003 he was elected the 38th Governor of California, serving until 2011 and signing the landmark Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, along with the Million Solar Roofs Plan and a workers’ compensation reform that cut costs by more than a third.
Schwarzenegger has never stopped reinventing himself. His book Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life became a #1 New York Times bestseller, and his next, Better Every Day: An Action Plan for a Full Life, is coming from Penguin Press. He starred in the Netflix series FUBAR and was the subject of the acclaimed Netflix documentary series Arnold. Through the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative and the Austrian World Summit, he campaigns for clean energy and climate action, and he founded the USC Schwarzenegger Institute for State and Global Policy. He also chairs After-School All-Stars, which serves tens of thousands of young people across the United States, and shares daily fitness and mindset advice with millions through Arnold’s Pump Club.
As a speaker, Arnold Schwarzenegger brings unmatched energy, humor, and conviction. He shares the principles that powered his success (having a clear vision, working relentlessly, breaking the rules, and refusing to fear failure) and challenges audiences to make themselves useful to others. Whether the theme is leadership, reinvention, health, or the clean-energy future, audiences leave inspired to think bigger and act with purpose.
In this signature conversation, Schwarzenegger shares the story of a life few could have imagined, from a small Austrian village to the world’s biggest stages in sport, film, and politics. Drawing on Be Useful, he explains the tools that drove his success: a clear vision, relentless work, the courage to break the rules, and a willingness to fail. Audiences leave energized and ready to pursue their own goals with greater ambition.
As governor, Schwarzenegger signed one of the world’s most ambitious climate laws while growing California’s economy, and he continues to champion climate action through his Climate Initiative. He argues for an energy strategy built on security, cleaner air, energy productivity, green jobs, and innovation, and shows business and policy leaders why the clean-energy transition represents one of the greatest economic opportunities of our time.
Based on his #1 New York Times bestseller, Schwarzenegger shares the practical lessons he has applied across every chapter of his life, from thinking big and working your ass off to selling your vision, shifting gears, and giving back. It is an inspiring, funny, and actionable message for anyone seeking purpose, resilience, and impact.
A lifelong champion of fitness, from chairing the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports to his Pump Club community, Schwarzenegger shows how small daily habits in movement, mindset, and health compound into extraordinary results, for individuals and for organizations building a culture of well-being.
