The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA) announces that Super Bowl Champion and Peabody award winning journalist, Michael Strahan will be part of the star-studded IDDBA 2025 speaker lineup.
“Michael’s success in television, as an entrepreneur, and as a motivational speaker and author will bring the IDDBA 2025 audience an experience to remember,” said Jeremy Johnson, IDDBA’s vice-president of events.
Emmy winner, Super Bowl Champion and Peabody award winning journalist Michael Strahan currently co-anchors ABC’s “Good Morning America,” serves as an analyst for “Fox NFL Sunday,” and hosts ABC’s primetime game show favorite “The $100,000 Pyramid.” Strahan also headlined the Thursday Night Football Pregame Show live on the Fox Broadcast Network.
For four years, Strahan co-hosted the hit talk show “LIVE with Kelly and Michael,” and prior to joining the ranks of the top sports broadcasters in the country, Strahan had a spectacular NFL career that resulted in him being named to the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. Strahan was honored with a star in the newest category of ‘Sports Entertainment’ on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
ABC recently debuted the documentary “Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan’s Fight Against Cancer.” The emotional and intimate one-hour primetime special produced by ABC News Studios and SMAC Productions follows Isabella Strahan’s cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery. Isabella’s family discuss the emotional toll of supporting a loved one battling cancer, and her doctors discuss Isabella’s treatment, fight, and prognosis.
Strahan is the co-founder of SMAC Entertainment, a multi-dimensional talent management, music, branding and production company to create a major presence in the sports and entertainment arena. In addition to representing globally recognized talent, SMAC produces a diversified slate of film and television content, with projects set up at primetime cable and broadcast networks including HBO, DIRECTV, Showtime, ABC, CBS, E!, NFL Network, Audience Network, and Nickelodeon, as well as Prime Video.
In 2015, Strahan launched his lifestyle brand, Michael StrahanTM. What started with tailored apparel grew into more than 50 product categories including home decor, skincare, boys, pajamas, sportswear, tuxedos, basics, and officially licensed NFL and NHL apparel for men, women, and more. The brand was founded on one of Michael’s core principles — if you look good, you feel confident and it was developed from his own need for stylish, professional yet versatile apparel that fit him and his active life. The latest expansion for the brand came in 2025 with the launch of the Michael Strahan Design Lab, a streamlined way to order high quality, fully personalized suits from the comfort of your own home.

In December 2021, Strahan took a flight to space with Jeff Bezos’s aerospace company, Blue Origin, on their third passenger space mission.
Strahan released his best-selling book, “Wake Up Happy: The Dream Big, Win Big Guide to Transforming Your Life,” which includes personal stories and motivational advice. Dedicated to many charitable works, Strahan donates his hands and heart to charities including St. Jude’s.
