Davis Tarwater is on a quest to decode life’s critical points of transition, and he’s diving in headfirst. Spending years studying and observing how athletes, business owners and thought leaders engage life’s critical inflection points, Davis helps captive audiences rethink and redefine the process of moving from point A, “through the parentheses” to point B.

As a business owner, entrepreneur and former professional athlete, Davis has first hand knowledge of the trepidation associated with major life transition points. As a gold medal-winning swimmer in the 2012 London Summer Olympics, Davis is uniquely interested in how we can all “Stay Golden” throughout the process of engaging major change.

Davis’ resume boasts numerous athletic and academic achievements including multiple national championships, American records, as well as the University of Michigan’s Big Ten Medal of Honor given to the intuitions top student-athlete. However, it was not until studying for his masters at the prestigious University of Oxford that he became fascinated with how global thinkers use their inherent social capital to navigate life’s strategic inflection points.

In an age where transition happens more rapidly and with larger implications, Davis’ message cuts powerfully into the space between change, and gives framework through research, observation and personal experience in a captivating, humorous, and thought provoking manner that empowers and motivates the audience to think critically, embrace the reality of change and retain the essence of one’s personal identity. 


“Davis’ ability to connect his life experiences and research in deeply thought provoking and entertaining manner, powerfully impresses on audiences of all ages and backgrounds the challenges associated with confronting major life transition points, while empowering both further examination of personal identity and tangible steps to approach the process. His message is a must hear for both athletes and professionals alike.”
