Agenda

Vince's energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate style gives listeners glimpses of what it took to go from a season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles to captain of the same team at the age of 30—without ever having played college football. He's the story behind Disney's movie Invincible, and he’s coming back home to Philly to prove that you have invincible traits inside of you, too. But Vince’s journey is more than a football story. It's a story about persevering when people say you can't accomplish something—like reaching a new revenue goal. Vince will share his Leadership Playbook and identify the characteristics that will help you lead others and take your remodeling or home improvement business to new heights. When Vince leaves the stage, you'll feel invincible and ready to tackle any challenge you encounter.
