Request SpeakerSpeaker Bio
Bear Grylls became one of the most well-known faces in the world of surviving and outdoor adventure, and he has gained widespread recognition for his work. His path to this level of renown began in the United Kingdom, where his late father taught him how to climb and go on expeditions.
Bear, who began training in martial arts at a young age, went on to serve three years as a warrior in the British Special Forces, in the 21st Special Air Service Regiment. During this time, he refined many of the abilities that his fans around the world watch and enjoy him demonstrating against Mother Nature.
Bear co-owns and presents the BAFTA award-winning series The Islands with Bear Grylls on Channels 4, which has sold as a format all over the world. Bear is also a co-founder of the Bear Grylls Foundation. In addition, Bear co-owns and presents the ITV and CITV series Bear Grylls Survival School, as well as Survivors Game and Absolute Wilderness for Chinese television, among other projects.
Bear Grylls, one of television’s most popular superstars, is credited with igniting a worldwide survivalist craze that has spread around the world. The former British Special Forces operator is most renowned for bringing his exploits in the world’s most dangerous locations to the small screen, where he has starred in several television series. Grylls’ keynote speeches captivate audiences of all ages and backgrounds, and he imparts essential lessons on grit, team, and overcoming adversity to achieve one’s goals, much like his popular television shows.
During his 3 years in the British Special Forces, Grylls honed many of his outdoor survival abilities, which he put to good use. Following a year and a half of recovery from a paragliding accident that resulted in the fracture of three of his vertebrae, he made news in 1998 when he set the record for “youngest British climber to summit Mount Everest.” Through his multiple journeys across lands to raise finances and awareness for children’s organizations as well as climate change over the next decade, he established a solid foundation for himself.
Man vs. Wild, Grylls’ signature television series, premiered on the Discovery Channel in 2006 and has been a hit ever since. An estimated 1.2 billion people tuned in each week to watch his energizing presentation of survival tactics, which was paired with his breath-taking acrobatics.
His other television shows and specials include Bear Grylls Survival School (which aired on Discovery), Mission Survive, and Running Wild with Bear Grylls, in which he took celebrities on two-day adventures. The actor Michael B. Jordan, the actress Kate Winslet, and the former President Obama were among the celebrities who appeared on his show.
Also in the forest with the bear was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who made history by setting a new world record as the ‘world’s most trending broadcast event, receiving an incredible 3.6 BILLION impressions’.
Bear and MGM have joined with Amazon Prime to create the global smash television series, The Worlds Trickiest Race: Eco-Challenge, which is currently airing on Amazon Prime.
For the past three years, Grylls has worked as the United Kingdom Chief Scout, the honorary head of the country’s boy scout association. The best-selling writer of 20 books, which detail his travels, moral code, and fitness regimen, he is also a motivational speaker. It took him 15 weeks to reach the top of the Sunday Times bestseller list with his biography, Mud Sweat and Tears. He has published over 90 books, with more than 20 million copies sold in the United States alone.
