Craig Handley Bio
Craig Handley is an entrepreneur, speaker, musician, and
philanthropist.
He believes in “living life like an extreme sport.” As such, he has
cage dived with great white sharks and rappelled down Table
Mountain in South Africa, driven the Baja 500 trail in Mexico,
hiked through the jungles of Malaysia, and in Iceland, he
snowmobiled across a live volcano, swam in the Blue Lagoon, and
dove in the famed Silfra Fissure which is the only dive site in the
world where your dive is in the crack between two continental
plates. He is the 85th civilian ever to jump out of a plane from
over 32,000 feet... He is undefeated in his three trips to Necker
Island when donning the Sumo Suit. He's met Ringo Starr and bumped
into Paul McCartney before security escorted him back to his table
while trying to get a selfie, and, in Calgary, he had a scarf
blessed while meeting the Dalai Lama (which he has since
misplaced).
An expert in Hispanic Marketing, Direct Response Marketing, and
Sales and Brand expansion, Handley is the CEO and founder of the
hugely successful “Listen Up Española,” which was named #1 in
Business Products and Service (#27 overall) on Inc. Magazine’s
500/5000 list. Handley’s businesses employ over 1,000 employees and
have cumulatively done over 500 million in sales within the last
five years to Hispanics in the USA.
He started his professional career as a paperboy, winning a contest
to go to Disney for most new subscribers at the age of 13, he
followed up with 3 years of door-to-door insurance sales, where he
again won the company's highest award 8 times. He worked in a call
center in telephone sales and again was one of 3 employees (Out of
950) selling over a million dollars a year in product. A respected
advisor for hundreds of brands, products, and services in almost
every category, he has also contributed articles and been
interviewed for leading marketing and business magazines, blogs,
and podcasts and he's spoken at conferences, company retreats,
seminars, and private masterminds.
