Friends and Family – I am incredibly excited to share the biggest news of my speaking career!!!!!!! I was inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame!!!!!!
After 20+ years as a professional speaker, this means so much to me! I remember going to my first National Speakers Association Hall of Fame gala over 20(!) years ago. I was in awe of the amazing speakers on the big stage. Back then, I never imagined I’d deliver over 3,000 keynote presentations around the world, speak in all 50 US states by age 30, win American Airlines Road Warrior of the year (LOL), and earn a place in the Speaker Hall of Fame. I would not have penciled that path, nor would I have changed any of the challenges, breakthroughs, and adventures.
And what an adventure it has been! From sleeping on a floor at age 18 surrounded by 5,000 self-printed books to launching a global research firm and then receiving our industry’s highest honor while my daughter Rya and my wife Denise cheered!!!!!
Each of YOU has helped me on this journey. I am grateful. What an adventure it has been. I am thankful to be on it with YOU!! I hope to speak at an event for you in the future!
If you’d like to request information about my speaking, please send an email to [email protected] or call our friendly team at +1 (512) 259-6877
With gratitude,
Jason
I was thrilled to deliver my first-ever keynote in athletic wear, including a bold red t-shirt! The best part: I got to share how much I love the intersection of fitness, marketing, employment, and generational retail trends.
Many 40-year-old and older Millennials feel a connection to both Gen X and Millennial generations, having had experience with both analog and digital worlds. In a sense, those born on the cusp between the Millennial and Gen X generations feel like they often have one foot in both worlds.
As companies recalibrate and adapt to fit Gen Z’s quest for sustainability and improving the planet, a new and overlooked but important reality has emerged: greenwashing.
Millennials are the most interconnected generation to fully emerge as adults. This generation was the first generation to grow up with the rise of personal computers, smartphones, the internet, and the constant streaming of global information from an early age.
The most memorable part for me was General Funk presenting my dad with a US flag that flew over the Yorktown battlefield on July 4th. My dad was speechless. It was an unforgettable day for my dad and a great day to talk about Gen Z and what leaders need to know now.
