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 love working with repeat clients because I get to know their team, culture, challenges, opportunities, and strengths over a long period. Going into the details with clients and working with their teams consistently also builds momentum for action, buy-in, trust, innovation, and results across their organization.
I wanted to make the most of coming full circle back to where it all started. So I took a big risk while back on campus. Right before my informal speech I decided to try something I’ve never done before as a speaker. I had ZERO idea how it would work out. That risk ended up reframing how I saw my own story, my own journey, my own decisions, and how I’ve grown.
The combination of saving for retirement at an early age, seeking out employee benefits such as retirement matching, and a keen interest in being financially self-reliant are setting Gen Z up for a much more solid financial future later in life.
The reality is that Gen Z is coming of age facing a variety of challenges that other generations have not faced at the same life stage, most notably the Covid-19 pandemic and the always-on pressure of social media directly to their smartphone. Add in the mental-health challenges of social distancing and isolation during the pandemic, distance-learning challenges, and all the formative elements of young adulthood, and it’s easy to see why the generation is feeling like it’s a challenging time.
What happens when you combine Gen Z’s burgeoning consumer influence, social media savvy, and Hollywood’s prowess for spotting emerging talent: Hollywood agents finding their newest talent on TikTok, of course!
