Steve Fredlund, The Safari Dude

Steve Fredlund is an award-winning actuary, sought-after leadership coach and an organizational catalyst with over thirty years of diverse leadership experience. Steve has started, led and grown three nonprofits, four small businesses, and two Fortune 500 business units, including human resources analytics where he uncovered the surprising drivers of employee motivation and organizational success. His insights and methodology fundamentally transform how leaders build powerful teams. Steve earned his Masters in Business Administration and fellowship in the Society of Actuaries.

Steve has led six African safaris and uses those stories to engage and inspire audiences around the world; those experiences have earned him the nickname "The Safari Dude." He is a two-time TEDx speaker and Founder of Epic Life Revolution, a movement empowering people to lean into the great adventure of their life.

Steve continues to coach select clients, but his primary focus is on three keynote talks, each of which stems from his personal mission to help people live their most epic lives. His current talks are called,
1) "Build an Epic Team for Your Adventure: The Powerful Secret Great Leaders Know about Hiring"
2) "Epic Life Revolution: Discover and Pursue Your Authentic Adventure"
3) "Insights from the Felt: Life Lessons from Texas Hold 'em."

When not speaking or coaching, Steve can be found playing disc golf, trying to win a poker tournament, and doing the best he can to stay a loyal Minnesota sports fan.
