What other are saying…


Grant Martsolf is the kind of speaker that commands a room, not only with his ability to distill difficult topics into digestible language, but also in his ease and manner in front of a crowd. I personally have seen Grant speak on topics from the deeply personal to the highly theoretical and he always does so with great wit, charm and deftness.

-Ashley Fitzgerald, Public Event Organizer for the Doomer Optimism Network

Grant Martsolf is a speaker both provocative and entertaining. No one in his audiences leaves without thinking hard and even learning. Many leave changed.

-Mike Aquilina, the award-winning author of more than seventy books on Catholic history, doctrine, and devotion

Grant Martsolf is my go-to Beatrice Institute Faculty Fellow when we want to host an oddly-shaped or multi-disciplinary program. Grant's capacity to bring his research talents--philosophical and sociological--to bear on any topic speaks to his capacious interests. He is a Swiss army knife academic, capable of translating highly nuanced and rarefied material into digestible, compelling talks. We have had him out to speak on personalism, technology, labor, population decline, and happiness and human flourishing. He has also hosted the Beatrice Institute podcast precisely because Grant is essentially a conversationalist: the guy you want asking the right questions to the right people.

-James DeMasi, Executive Director of the Beatrice Institute

Grant is gifted speaker, capable of communicating effectively to general and specialized groups, alike. Provocative without being pretentious, earnest and never insincere, his talks generate thoughtful and spirited engagement with his audiences.
