Whether you need an inspiring keynote address for your organization’s next retreat or a targeted talk at a team event, we’ll command the stage, or Zoom room, for you.

A good speaker can make your event, and a bad one can break it. At The Grow Group, we’ll work with you to craft and present an engaging presentation guaranteed to get your audience leaning in and listening. 


Marty Grunder, president and CEO of a multimillion-dollar landscaping company and an award-winning entrepreneur and author, is a leading voice on small-business leadership, sales, and company culture. As comfortable on stage as he is on a job site, he has delivered more than 550 talks and motivated audiences of all shapes and sizes, from a small gathering of 20 to a stadium of 9,000.

Vince Torchia, vice president of The Grow Group, is a rising voice in small-business management. His unique perspective and real-world tactics for developing your right-hand man or woman and engaging the millennial workforce will have you thinking about age-old problems in new ways.

“Marty’s stage presence and his ability to connect with his audience is phenomenal. He shares his hard-won knowledge and the insights he’s gained from his own mentors, industry leaders, and his clients in a genuine manner that pulls you in and leaves you asking for more.
— J. W. Washington, Director of Business Development, Ariens Co.
“Marty Grunder had our audience’s attention from beginning to end. He’s a meeting planner’s dream.
— Stephanie Teague, DUCTZ International, Ann Arbor, MI
