Don Epstein

Partner @United Talent Agency

Epstein has spent over 40 years as a leader in the lecture industry, founding Greater Talent Network in 1981, prior to its acquisition by UTA in 2017, to promote intellectual, political, and cultural icons from Attorney General Janet Reno and Tom Wolfe to Michael Lewis and Billy Beane on the speaking circuit. During this time, Epstein’s knack for recognizing talent on the cusp of hugely successful, multi-faceted careers cemented GTN as one of the country’s most prestigious speakers bureaus. Recognizing GTN’s influence on the lecture business as well as its status as a launching pad for some of the most exciting new voices in broadcasting, literature and entertainment, United Talent Agency acquired the company, utilizing Epstein’s experience to further expand its roster and reach to include such figures as Tyra Banks, Lloyd Blankfein, Terry Crews, Governor John Kasich, Norah O’Donnell, and many more.
