Professional athletes have been blessed by The Lord in many ways. Danger and misery come when one makes themself the center of their universe. Pro athletes can suffer from anxiety, depression and separation from their friends and family. Giving can help alleviate these symptoms. One of the greatest joys a person can receive is giving away the gifts that they have been bestowed with. This keynote discusses leaving a legacy, tithing, philanthropy, helping your church, the Great Commission and the latest scientific research on the benefits of giving. Tax smarter ways of giving are discussed including: donor advised funds, setting up your own charity and gifting highly appreciated assets instead of cash.
Can an athlete gain greater success in life if he gives his life to The Lord? The answer is YES! This keynote focuses on the advantages of following our Lord and Savior Jesus. Mike explores the benefits of being clean and sober, studying the bible, being a faithful spouse, fellowship, being a mentor and a great parent. Inspirational bible verses and the latest scientific research are cited to reinforce these principles of success.

Wow! What a fantastic presentation Mike Duffy did at Stanford. He spoke to the group about happiness and all that it takes to be happy and we were blown away. Inherently we all know that happiness comes from the inside and yet Mike was able to show how our happiness manifests itself in others and spreads to those we love. By examining what makes us happy and how we can determine our own level of happiness, Mike guided us to a happier place. It was just a great event! Thanks, Mike, for your presentation!

Mike Duffy isn't just a wealth manager, investment counselor, motivational speaker -- he is the synthesis of all these things. The whole is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts. Imagine someone who can break down the data, look into the best financial options for you and your family, and shine a light on the path to a more fulfilling life. A more fulfilling life: that's what Mike helps discover for his clients and audiences. That is the Duffy Effect.

I attended the Happiness Hall of Fame annual event at Stanford University faculty club, which was hosted by Mike Duffy from Happiness Wealth Management. Mike's presentation was excellent, inspiring, vibrant, uplifting, caring. Those were my emotions throughout the event. Every seat was filled and nobody left the event until it concluded. Masterful and concise. Everyone should attend this annual event if they want to be totally inspired. Happiness is contagious.
