Why Planners Book Jon as Their Resilience Speaker

A story people believe

Jon speaks from real hardship, not theory. That credibility gives a struggling room permission to reset.

Entertainment that lands the message

World-class magic is his tool. The speaking is the point, and the magic keeps every seat leaning in.

Built around your moment

Keynote messaging is customized to what leadership needs the room to feel that day.

Proven on the biggest stages

Apple, Marriott, Kroger, RE/MAX, Facebook, Campbell Soup and Hard Rock have all put Jon on stage.

Name recognition that fills seats

America's Got Talent finalist, Ellen Show regular and 14-year NFL veteran. Attendees know the name.

One clear deliverable

A single keynote address, delivered as your opening or closing moment. No breakouts to manage.

What the Resilience Keynote Covers

This is Jon's signature talk. He walks the audience through a real experience of hardship and the exact mindset shifts that carried him through it, from childhood tragedy to 14 years in the NFL and a run as an America's Got Talent finalist.

Instead of an abstract list of resilience tips, it is a first-person account structured so people draw their own parallels to what they are facing right now. It works in rooms after a layoff, a missed year, a restructuring or an industry shake-up, where a polished 'stay positive' message would fall flat.

  • Resilience and overcoming adversity, Jon's anchor topic
  • Forgiveness and living a life of purpose
  • How self-talk shapes the way people show up under pressure
  • Welcoming change so adaptability fuels growth
  • Opening or closing keynote for conferences and conventions
  • Fortune 500 all-hands, leadership summits and client events
  • National and regional association annual conventions
  • Sales kickoffs, President's Club and incentive audiences
  • World-class magic woven through the presentation
  • Content shaped around your event theme before the date
