Take Your Game to the Next Level!

The status quo SUCKS. Who wants a life that's average and ordinary? Not me! That's why I connect businesses and community leaders with nonprofits, so that collectively, we can all leave the world a better place. For 40 years, I've made an unwavering commitment to community service and philanthropic causes. I've collaborated with or served on more than 100 non-profit boards. What started as a pastime is now my passion. For those of you looking for more joy in your life and unquantifiable fulfillment, let’s talk..

Howie Nestel has spent 4 decades creating an extraordinary life by serving through non-profit leadership and philanthropy. In his position as Founder and President of San Antonio-based Sharkmatic Advertising, he has provided sales and marketing services to more than 1,500 companies nationwide including Coca-Cola, DuPont, MTV, and Procter & Gamble, as well as to prominent local & regional businesses including Brake Check, Methodist Healthcare, and The Wash Tub.

He has spoken and delivered keynote addresses to companies, networking groups, educational institutions and non-profit organizations on topics ranging from entrepreneurship and marketing, to living an extraordinary life with passion and purpose.

Podcast

Howie is a co-host of the wildly popular weekly "Let’s Talk Business Podcast" with a reach of more than 150,000 monthly views. Ranked as the #1 business podcast in the San Antonio area, it boasts more than 25,000 YouTube subscribers! The show has featured more than 300 local entrepreneur interviews and produced several sold-out Let’s Talk Business Mega-Mixer events.

You’re in for a real treat!
