David Always Beats Goliath

Inspirational Speaker, Award Winning Author, and Public Relations Professional

The idea of the underdog is a story as old as man—the “little guy” doing the right thing despite the odds or the outside world. The one giving their all, fighting for all, and standing up for those who can’t.

It’s a story we know all too well. It is a storyline we all stand behind. And it is these people who we want to champion.

That’s human nature. THAT’S PAULA PEDENE.
