Does your audience need to level up or push through challenges?

The perfect blend of engaging storytelling and practical, immediately actionable advice

How many times have you hired a speaker who is entertaining, but didn’t give any practical advice for your audience?

Or perhaps you’ve worked with someone who gave amazing advice, but nearly bored your audience to sleep.

What if you could have the best of both worlds?

Terry believes everyone has a savage alter-ego that can be unleashed on command, allowing them to boldly become the best version of themselves while inspiring others along the way.

Throughout his life he discovered and integrated powerful, yet often overlooked, systems and strategies that deliver the clarity, confidence, and determination needed to relentlessly pursue meaningful change in both life and business. Or as he calls it, The Savage Life.

His journey took him from standing in an unemployment line to becoming a writer for Entrepreneur.com, and eventually walking the red carpet at the premiere of a TV show he appeared on. All while raising five children and maintaining a strict mental and physical health routine.

Now, he wants to help you uncage your savage alter-ego.

Uncaging this savage alter-ego empowers you to speak up when others remain silent, to seek solutions instead of merely pointing out problems. And to remain focused, even in times of uncertainty.

Savages have a clear vision for the future, move with precision, overcome obstacles, and do so with integrity—turning setbacks into stepping stones and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.

Whether you’re a student navigating academic challenges, an organization striving for innovation, or an individual seeking more out of life, uncaging your savage alter-ego is the key to discovering your purpose, breaking through limitations, staying resilient under pressure, and achieving success on your own terms.

Welcome to The Savage Life.

SAVAGE LIFE

The Savage Life: Shatter Obstacles, Fuel Innovation and Pursue Your Goals with Precision

Savage (noun): A person who is fearless, bold, and unapologetically confident, moving with a sense of purpose and integrity. Often willing to do what others shy away from to aggressively claim the life they deserve and inspire those around them.


We all have a savage alter-ego within us that can be unleashed on command. 

After overcoming alcoholism, obesity, and financial crisis, Terry Rice understands that lasting transformation doesn’t come from a pep talk. It has to come from within – and it has to be savage. 

He discovered and combined proven — yet rarely utilized — systems and strategies that provide the clarity, confidence, and conviction required to aggressively pursue meaningful transformation in both life and business.

His journey took him from standing in an unemployment line to walking the red carpet at the premiere of a TV show he was featured on. A Blackstone LaunchPad Luminary Award winner, Terry now shares his message of resilience and relentless pursuit of vision on stages around the world and as a contributor to Entrepreneur.com.

Terry Visited the University of Buffalo this March. He spoke to a few hundred students about making connections, growing his business and how to go forward from life’s hardships. His personal story was very inspiring, and he really has a way with connecting to his student audience. His casual but professional presentation style is awesome and I believe there is a lot to learn and take in from Terry.

When I first met Terry, you could easily see not only how much expertise he has in his field of work, but also how much passion he has for it. Watching him talk on the main stage amplified that to the max in such a bright way that did nothing but positively impact the audience he spoke to. His ability to showcase vulnerability, knowledge, confidence, and creativity was so inspiring to watch!
