Matt Hay Booking Agency Profile

Matt Hay, MBA, had a long road to being deaf and an even longer road to regaining his ability to "hear" after receiving an experimental brainstem implant. He originally revealed his experience to the world on the Soundtrack of Silence podcast from National world Radio (NPR). Actor Channing Tatum and Paramount Pictures decided to option the film rights to Matt's life story because of the personal, humorous and real look at what it's like to begin a job, fall in love and establish a life while facing a rare condition. St. Martin's Press, a division of Macmillan, plans to publish Matt's memoir.
While serving as a consultant for the St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf and a member of the Columbia University Genetic Counseling Advisory Board, Matt avidly supports the hearing loss community in his spare time. He has openly lobbied Congress on behalf of neurofibromatosis (NF), the hereditary condition that resulted in his hearing loss and he has participated in endurance sports, such as the Ironman Triathlon and the Boston Marathon to raise money for NF research. As the US Director of Advocacy at Alexion, Matt now supports the community of people with rare diseases..

Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
