Dr. Genetski has an uncanny ability to take a complicated topic like the global economy and translate it into language that business men and women can understand. He is comprehensive in his overview, articulate and entertaining in his presentation, and has huge intellectual capital. Any audience who is interested in understanding the complexities of the global economy in which we do business would benefit from hearing Genetski’s message.

Our Wealth Management′s ′Exceptional Exchange of Financial Insights′ was a marvelous success in large part because of your presentation. It was full of your charisma, optimism and most importantly, expert analysis and explanation of classic economic principles. Every one of our guests was delighted with your remarks, as were we. According to our evaluation forms, everyone found your insights stimulating, timely and informative. Everything ranked at the highest marks. I expect you get this input regularly, but still felt compelled to share it with you.

Your participation was one of the crowning points of the morning. Over and over again people have been asking, ′How can we top this year’s Annual Meeting?′ You have laid quite a challenge for us to come up with just half as good a speaker for next year as you were.
Marlene Tegmeyer
Everyone I talked with spoke highly of the value of what you had to say, and encouraged the Program Advisory Committee to work harder to find more speakers with equally important information for our members.
Rand Baldwin
I want to say thank you for the talk to the AVDA group the first of last week. I would like you to know I had great reviews on your talk. The subject of the talk was just right for that group.

On behalf of the entire TAVMA organization, many thanks to you for your service at last week′s National RESPA and Bundled Services Symposium. The feedback I′ve received from those in attendance has been phenomenal. Many people told me that this was the best conference they′ve ever attended! One example (from an e-mailer): ′I have never attended a more useful symposium than yours this week. I learned what to do and how to do it so I can advise my clients. That is what I needed, and I appreciate it.′ I lost count of the number of people who singled you out for praise. Some said they never thought that an economist could be such an effective and entertaining communicator. Others said your classical economic views reaffirmed what they understood to be the truth about how the market works. We had a lot of very good speakers but your presentation was the most talked-about of the conference... you were even quoted by some of the subsequent speakers!

Economics is a very complex and some would say "bland and boring topic" Dr. Genetski has the innate ability and skill set to make this subject interesting, understandable and is able to deliver it with enjoyable humor. Additionally, he is remarkably accurate in his predictions, always sharing his scorecard from year to year. I have had Bob speak to my clients for over 20 years, our audience continues to grow always looking forward to his insight.
Tom MacCarthy
Economics is complex and few wish to discuss it for fear of showing their ignorance. Dr. Robert Genetski's mission is to take the complicated subject of economics and make it understandable. Dr. Bob's compassionate and unassuming manner puts our clients at ease regardless the nature of their questions. They always ask for more of Dr. Bob.

How do audiences generally describe your talks?
The most common reaction is people telling me that they understand economics for the first time.
What is the most unique experience you have had as a result of your job?
Some of the most unique experiences include testifying before the United States Congress, having my books translated into multiple languages, regularly appearing on television and hosting my own radio program.
What is your biggest source of inspiration?
Financial distress and poverty are the consequences of bad policies. I gain my inspiration from attempting to prevent policy mistakes and helping others avoid the adverse financial consequences of the negative policies.
How do you incorporate humor when talking about economics?
The key to humor is telling a story or anecdote and adding a surprising or unexpected twist at the end. To be effective, the anecdote has to be related to an economic point I’m explaining to the audience. Humor can be a great way to not only entertain, but to help the audience grasp a complex economic issue.
Why did you decide to study economics?
I studied economics to learn more about what determines the wealth of nations—why certain individuals and countries prosper and grow while others do not.
