· THE SET LIST ·
SIGNATURE TOPICS
Each can be delivered as a 25-min keynote, 60-min talk, or 90-min workshop. Custom topics available for policy, faith, and corporate engagements.
For corporate, civic, and faith audiences. The story of the letter every Sunday for two years, and how a man with a pen survived a system designed to bury him.
Duke’s son was 2 when he was arrested. Five years before they could touch. The keynote on presence, distance, and what fathers actually owe their kids.
A working talk on housing, education, mental health, and supervised release — the four levers that actually keep first-timers out of prison.
Sixteen years in maximum security. The dream. The discipline. The God who answered a letter the courts wouldn’t.
"WHEN DUKE TALKS,
THE ROOM LISTENS DIFFERENTLY."
