Clark is a motivational speaker who lives in Salt Lake City, where he attended high school and college. For 25 years he says he's delivered about 150 speeches a year around the country. Last year he spoke in all 50 states (but rarely Utah) and 21 countries. He says he has spoken to more than 3 1/2 million people, once addressing 45,000 of them in the Superdome.

He speaks to corporations, charities, schools, conventions, all of the military academies and soldiers abroad.

From 1991 to 1992 he delivered four speeches in Russia as a guest of the government. His speeches were aired live on TV to all 15 Russian independent states.

He was the keynote speaker at the U.N. World Congress in Hamburg, Germany.

In 2003, he addressed a meeting of four-star generals and the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Air Force Academy.

Earlier this year, he delivered 23 speeches to more than 30,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, on 10 different bases plus the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. He was transported around the country in a Blackhawk helicopter at 100 mph, 100 feet off the desert floor. He slept, ate and visited with the soldiers for two weeks.
