What’s Your Story Speaker + Founder
Corporate Trainer, Motivational Speaker, Fish! Trainer and Founder of What's Your Story
Missy Day, founder of What’s Your Story and CEO of her own business, told her story for the first time in 2016 after being asked to speak at a women’s luncheon. Missy shared her story revealing more than most had known about her, aside from showcasing a strong businesswoman and leadership trainer. To say heads quickly turned is an understatement. Sharing her personal story, she was able to shed the weight of embarrassment, shame and self doubt. The response from the women was not judgement, but of love and acceptance.
Later that year, Missy created a safe platform for people to tell their stories at events like What’s Your Story and Like Minded Lunch, held in the heart of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Missy uses a plethora of knowledge stemming from hosting many events and being a consultant and corporate trainer with over 20 years experience working with Fortune 500 companies as well as local business owners and entrepreneurs.
Missy Day is a John Maxwell Certified Coach, Executive Coach, FISH! Philosophy Train the Trainer, Corporate Trainer, Motivational Speaker, and Success Consultant for industry leaders, NFL and Top 100 businesses.
But more importantly, she has a heart for those who need to tell their story.

What’s Your Story Emcee
The Stand Up Speaker, Author, Professional Fundraiser, Pastor, Trainer
With over 30 years of being an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), there has been lots of cause to laugh!! Along the way, David has served in Presbyterian Churches in Augusta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Klamath Falls, Oregon. Mountain View Presbyterian Church in Las Vegas, Nevada is now home to David's ministry and service. When asked, "How can you be a Pastor in Sin City?", David's response is quick, "Job security!"
A few curves in the road gave David the privilege and opportunity to explore some other avenues outside the Church. David has worked with over 100 churches in helping them raise over 200 million dollars for the purpose of Christian ministry.
Early in 2020 the Broadway stage in New York City found David achieving the most difficult and challenging bucket list of all bucket lists, performing a “Standup Comedy” routine at the world renowned “Carolines on Broadway Comedy Club!”
David's signature line and mantra in life is "Laugh Often and Fear Not!" David’s love and study of laughter, humor and levity has led him on the most fascinating journey of discovering the amazing impact and positive effect humor and the role laughter has in building deep and lasting relationships.
