"They were absolutely gripped by his story and messages. It's created a tremendous shift and I'm so grateful."
Luke's journey to becoming a motivational speaker is one of remarkable transformation.
For eight years of his life, Luke weighed close to 130 kilos and found himself leading a gang in the streets of Sydney (Luke "PG's" story for primary schools). Amidst the chaos, he faced harrowing experiences, including being stabbed twice, battling addiction, and grappling with the darkness of self-hatred and despair. Despite projecting an image of strength and confidence to the outside world, internally, Luke was plagued by fear, depression, and anxiety.
Turning his life around through a relentless pursuit of personal growth in all areas, he's now Australia's most sought after Motivational Speaker, International Best-Selling Author, Successful Business Owner, Mental Health Advocate, State Champion Boxer & Mentor to Troubled Youth.

ABOUT
In my years of experience, one thing has become clear: I know people. I understand what works—and a lot of what doesn’t. Genuine connection is the cornerstone of progress and impact.
My ability to connect deeply with people is what makes my talks and workshops leave a strong and lasting impression.
If you’re just looking for a motivational speaker to inspire for the day and leave it at that… I’m probably not the right fit. While I do inspire in the moment, what truly matters to me is how I harness that inspiration to drive lasting change long after the presentation is over.

Luke’s raw and genuine account of his story underlined his resilience and grit against any obstacle he faced. Luke conveyed real, tangible advice that we can apply to our own situations.

MATT PAPASAVVA
“We were fortunate enough to have Luke recently speak at our annual conference. He absolutely crushed it - he used his story to connect with our entire group and was so effective that our staff are still raving about his impact. Great speaker, but a better bloke”
YR 9 STUDENT
"Hey mate you spoke at my school today, it was so good to hear from a person who felt how I feel sometimes. I feel like people are always judging me and I'm scared of what they think. I'm in the middle of reading your book. I don't normally read books but I'm really interested in this book. You have made me think:Who cares about what other people think of me? Just be me." All afternoon I've been telling Mum and Dad about your speech today. Thanks heaps, you've really touched me!"
PRINCIPAL, DONNA SNOW
"The impact you had on our year 4-6 was significant. They are still talking about it and we have seen a marked difference in the students being more ‘present’, particularly around adults."
