The Farmer School of Business announced Kevin O’Leary, aka Shark Tank’s "Mr. Wonderful," Chairman of O’Leary Ventures and Beanstox, wine maker, watch, crypto, AI & guitar guy, photographer, and chef, as the 2024 Anderson Distinguished Lecture Series Speaker.

In a talk titled “The Cold Hard Truth,” O’Leary, one of North America’s most successful entrepreneurs, reveals the secrets that made him rich and shares his personal advice for those from every walk of life. Kevin describes his incredible journey, from his sometimes-difficult childhood to the way he built his first company, managed personal pressures, and ultimately achieved remarkable success.

His advice is engaging and practical – and will help audience members become the best entrepreneurs and business people that they can be. Topics cover business, money, and life, including how to find your calling and turn your talents into a profitable venture; building a dream team; transforming adversity into opportunity, and making and growing your business–and your money.

The Anderson Distinguished Lecture Series exposes students, faculty and staff, as well as the public, to opinion leaders whose ideas will impact business and society. These leaders have developed a national reputation for expertise related to the subject matter of their presentation.

O’Leary will present on Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. at Miami University’s Millett Hall. The event is free and open to the public, and no tickets are required.
