John Kasich's speaking fee falls within range: $50,000 to $75,000
Always known to be a man of straightforward style and boundless energy, John Kasich was elected to the Ohio State Senate at 26, and to the U.S. House of Representatives at 30. Working as an advocate for personal responsibility, he chaired a historic congressional conference committee that overhauled the welfare system. He stood as a champion for defense reform, and the elimination of wasteful government spending, through the formation of coalitions with members of both parties.
Yet instead of going on for a tenth congressional term, John decided to stay in Westerville with his wife Karen and daughters Emma and Reese. He made a decision to explore new challenges outside of Washington, and was elected Governor of Ohio in 2010. With his accomplishments and penchant for leadership, it is no wonder Newsweek magazine named John one of its “100 People for the 21st Century.”
His ability to communicate in a powerful, effective way helped John become a leader in Washington, and it has given him a platform to shape public opinion as a social commentator. John has appeared on virtually every major network and cable news show, and hosted his national weekly news show called “Heartland with John Kasich,” which allowed him to share his uniquely Midwestern perspective on news from around the nation and the world. He lectures on college campuses across the country, encouraging students with a message that emphasizes the importance of hard work, ethics, and values.
John has been on the New York Times best sellers list twice. His most recent book, Stand for Something: The Battle for America’s Soul was praised by the likes of Bono, George Stephanopoulos and Elie Wiesel. It directly addresses ways to overcome the erosion of the longstanding, hard-earned values upon which out nation is built. Courage is Contagious highlights stories of ordinary Americans who have taken extraordinary measures to bring lasting, beneficial change to their communities and our country.

“You want to believe that what you’re doing matters to your kids, your grandkids, to your coworkers. Because everyone wants to believe that they make a difference.”
In this video, former Congressman John Kasich gives us an idea of what he stands for and what he brings to his keynotes. “Everybody can make a difference; it’s just up to them to go for it and to believe in themselves. What I try to do is give them a sense that what they do influences other people, and it can make a difference in the way the globe spins.”
He relates an anecdote about his freshman year at Ohio State University. At a meeting with OSU’s president, John found out that the university president was going to see Nixon, and asked to come along. While the answer was no, John says, “if you never ask, you never get the deal, right?” Instead of taking John, the president took a letter for Nixon, which earned John an audience with the President of the United States. “The good news: I spent twenty minutes as a college freshman with the most powerful man in the world. The bad news: I spent eighteen years in congress, and it didn’t add up to twenty minutes!”

Stand For Something: The Battle for America′s Soul
A former nine-time congressman from Ohio and one of the most respected commentators on politics and society, John Kasich believes that traditional American values are in serious danger of being lost. Kasich asserts that this erosion of moral values can be atttributed to, among other things, disappointing leadership from elected officials, the growing lack of ethics in business and sports, religious intolerance, and mass media and popular culture. By addressing such fundamental issues as honesty, personal responsibility, integrity, and the importance of leaving the world a better place, Kasich offers both a heartfelt and straightforward solution for all Americans to finally reset our moral compass and learn to STAND FOR SOMETHING.
