Mick Hunt

Mick Hunt is the voice and face of Modern Leadership—and a standout speaker at the Liberty Speaks bureau. As the driving force behind Mick Unplugged, the number-one podcast in self-improvement, he guides audiences beyond the “why”—fueled instead by the “because.” 

A builder of culture through emotional intelligence, Mick unpacks how true leadership begins with self-awareness, empathy, and emotional resilience. His frameworks—rooted in The Mick Factor (Mindset to Dominate, Invest in Yourself, Character, Keep Going)—are a masterclass in building high-performing, values-driven organizations. 

As a member of the Forbes Business Council and Forbes Coaches Council, and mentee of powerhouses like Les Brown, Daymond John, and Robert Irvine, Mick merges compelling storytelling with real-world strategy. He teaches leaders to cultivate inclusive cultures, elevate performance, and lead with intention. 

His forthcoming book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One, is a blueprint for emerging leaders under 50—a generation seeking trusted leadership, self-development, and strategic clarity. 

Mick challenges audiences to “lead loud”: to speak less but say more, to know their teams better than they know themselves, and to seize their “because”—so their leadership legacy echoes long after the stage.
