Keynotes
Every keynote runs 45 minutes, with optional Q&A or a fireside chat. I also work 1:1 with a small number of executives.
1. Fifteen Minutes: What dying taught me about building a life worth living
My signature talk. Twelve days after closing the deal of my career, my heart stopped for more than fifteen minutes. It isn't a talk about death. It's about what you're doing with the time you have.
2. Built, Lost, Rebuilt
Twenty-five years of starting, scaling, selling and starting over. Honest lessons about what entrepreneurship really costs, and how to build something that doesn't cost you everything.
Best for: founders, entrepreneur groups, business schools, industry conferences.
3. Leading When It's Real
From the Air Force to a 300-person operation to running a factory from another continent during a pandemic. How to lead when the stakes are real and the answers aren't obvious.
Best for: leadership teams, corporate events, management offsites.
The signature talk
Fifteen Minutes
What dying taught me about building a life worth living
Twelve days after closing the deal of his career, MJ's heart stopped for more than fifteen minutes.
This talk goes from an Air Force base at 17, through the highs and wreckage of Las Vegas, to a company built across an ocean during a pandemic, and to a Boston morning where none of it mattered.
It isn't a talk about death. It's about what you're doing with the time you have.
