"Sean Callahan is someone I would highly recommend if you are looking to have someone speak at your event. Since 2016, our company has booked Sean for ten speaking engagements throughout Nebraska. Sean has always been well prepared, on time, and he is on top of the logistics. He is one of those rare speakers who pays close attention to the little details that make an event excellent. More importantly, the audience absolutely is engaged when Sean shares his message. Our company has scheduled many speakers covering a variety of topics in the past, but without question, Sean’s analysis of Nebraska Football is the best in the state. His ability to share his insight into the team, discuss current recruiting news, and provide personal stories about his past experiences are all engaging for the audience. Sean’s personality is an asset to every talk he delivers and I like to call him a walking encyclopedia for all things Nebraska football. Sean is a must-book speaker if you are looking to take your event to the next level.”

Kelly Krings, Chief Marketing Officer, Northwestern Mutual

"Sean Callahan has unquestioned credibility and knowledge of the University of Nebraska Football program and player status. I have never heard him at a loss for bonafied information. His presentations are skillfully and professionally delivered. He is always prepared and on time, and always goes above and beyond his required duties. He has both solid name recognition and a staunch following which makes it easy to recommend him to both my own clients and to any booking agency."

Craig Eckert, Executive VP, Platte River Radio

“While I live in Omaha, my work as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives took me to Washington D.C. Many of us who stayed or lived in D.C. longed for real information about Husker football program. Sean Callahan would fly to D.C. to give us an update on the Huskers. My favorite speeches of the entire year in D.C. were Sean’s presentations! He has flown to D.C. at least 10 times in late spring to inform displaced Nebraskans about the team and incoming recruits. Sean was a hit every year and the place would be packed! His speaking style is informational with a twist of humor. He is fluid and understandable. Sean would handle questions effortlessly by integrating the answers into his speech on the fly. That’s pretty impressive for a speaker! His updates on the radio and TV are crisp and informative, and Sean is a must hear for any Husker fan. Bottom line…Sean Callahan is a great speaker!”

“Sean Callahan has been coming to the Arboretum and giving talks to our residents for 5 years. He is an excellent speaker and our residents love him! He is extremely friendly and truly enjoys talking with the residents. His presentation on the “state of the Husker football team” is always very enlightening. He takes the time to answer everyone’s questions and never seems rushed to leave.
