Frank King is a TEDx Speaker and Coach. He is also a former writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years.

He’s fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of suicide, turning that long dark journey of the soul into TEDx Talks and sharing his insights on Suicide Prevention and Postvention with corporations, associations, and college audiences.

He uses the life lessons from all of the above, as well as lessons learned crisscrossing the country in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, doing 2,629 nights in a row on the comedy club circuit, to show how funeral directors, their staffs, and vendor partners, how they can collaborate successfully as they strive for excellence in funeral service.

He’s had two aortic valve replacements, a double bypass, a massive heart attack, and three stents and lived to joke about it all, so he is truly funny at heart.

Frank is the co-author of "Guts, Grit, & the Grind," a four-part book series containing the stories, science, and strategy to help men build and maintain a life worth living. You can find out more about this book series here: https://www.gutsgritgrind.com/.
