Jack Cashill is an independent writer, producer and public speaker of the first rank. He also serves from afar as the executive editor of Ingram's Magazine, Kansas City's premier business magazine and is now working on a book under contract with Simon & Schuster imprint, Threshold, on California.

If there is a common theme to his work, it is that Jack tells stories that the major media won't. He started early, writing his Ph.D. dissertation on "The Capitalist as Hero," an unpopular subject in academe. His expertise includes the economy, international terrorism and intellectual history.

In addition to his work with Ingram's, Jack has written for Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Weekly Standard and regularly for WorldNetDaily. He has had one collection of essays published – "Snake Handling in Mid-America" and one novel – "2006: The Chautauqua Rising."

Within the last four years Jack has written four books of non-fiction: "First Strike," "Ron Brown's Body," "Hoodwinked: How Intellectual Hucksters Have Hijacked American Culture," and, most recently, "Sucker Punch: Muhammad Ali and the Myth of the Sixties." The first three have cracked Amazon's top-10 list.

Jack has produced at least a dozen documentaries for regional PBS and national cable channels, including the Emmy Award-winning "The Royal Years." He has also produced an audio book, "Understanding America: the great speeches, sermons, documents and narratives of the American experience."

In addition, Jack hosted daily talk-radio shows for five years – four of those with KMBZ, Kansas City's foremost AM station, and one year with Catholic Family Radio's national network. He has a Ph.D. from Purdue University in American Studies, has taught media and literature at Purdue and at Kansas City area universities, and served as a Fulbright professor in France.

Jack speaks on a wide range of subjects, from entrepreneurship to intelligent design to political intrigue of the highest order. What follows are comments from some of his hosts.

"Jack Cashill is an exciting speaker. You will be amazed and fascinated by his exposés of the celebrity frauds of the last half century."

Phyllis Schlafly, Eagle Forum

"Thank you for a great and meaningful job for last night's audience and for Vitae, last night and in the future. Maureen told Joanie last night and again today that you were THE BEST speaker they have ever had, bar none. And that puts you ahead of other speakers they've had, including Alan Keyes and Ollie North. That's quite a testament and well earned and deserved."

Col. Thomas Fitzpatrick, USAF ret., Whiteman AFB, Vitae Society

"Jack Cashill has been our guest speaker at The Commonwealth Club of California, San Francisco several times. As an independent writer and producer and a Ph.D. in American studies, Jack Cashill brings to his listeners a vibrant, sometimes humorous, sometimes provocative and always an intellectual theme to whatever subject he is speaking on. You will never be bored. We have had a 'standing room only' crowd when he has been our guest."

Verna Weaver, International Relations Forum, Commonwealth Club, San Francisco

"Week after week, the Plaza Club is exposed to 'world class' speakers. Jack Cashill is one of the best! He shares his well-documented history lessons like a novelist spinning a tale. Jack Cashill is interesting, entertaining and, most of all, thought provoking. A truly great speaker!"

John Meara, Plaza Club, Kansas City
