Speaking
The Perfect Blend of Inspiration and Education
I do keynote speeches that interweave my personal story with new and creative insights to give talks people remember for the rest of their lives. I speak on four primary topics:
Entrepreneurship
I built two companies to 7 figures in sales before the age of 30. For one, I raised over $30 million in funding. For the other, I bootstrapped from day one, growing it to a dozen employees. I learned a great deal from those experiences about what it takes to start and build a successful company.
Achieving Your Dreams
Despite not being able to move from the neck down, I’ve traveled the world, become a multimillionaire, and become friends with some of the most influential people on earth. I’m living proof that it’s possible to achieve your dreams, regardless of your limitations.
Content Marketing
Having reached over 200 million people and generated over $50 million from content marketing, I’m one of the world’s leading experts on the subject. I can talk about everything from building a small blog to support your lifestyle to competing and dominating on the highest levels.
Overcoming Adversity
The sad fact is, success is more difficult for some than others. If you’re a woman, minority, or someone with a disability, you find many doors closed to you, and it’s a struggle not to become bitter. I can talk about how to deal with those emotions, as well as how to overcome any obstacle.
“We brought Jon to Traffic and Conversion Summit to speak on our biggest stage. He slayed it. Not only did he get a standing ovation, but people are STILL talking about that speech.”
accepting engagements for the first time in years
I wasn’t able to board a plane for almost 10 years.
It wasn’t because I didn’t want to. It was because traveling by plane was almost impossible.
Believe it or not, it’s illegal to sit in your wheelchair on an airplane. The FAA says it’s unsafe.
There’s also no way to safely reach the seat. You can call the fire department to carry you, but that’s both dehumanizing and dangerous.
So I didn’t fly. For years. I also refused all speaking engagements, because it certainly wasn’t driving across the US to speak.
But then everything changed.
In 2018 , I was able to acquire a lift being used in Australia to help passengers in wheelchairs transfer to their seats. For the first time, I was able to fly anywhere in the world.
I only do five talks per year. Will one be for you?
If you’re interested in having me speak at your event, please get in touch as quickly as possible. I’ll only be traveling for five talks per year, and I’d like to have ample time to talk and make sure it’s a good fit for both of us.
Note: If you’re in Austin, Dallas, or Houston, my schedule is much more open, because I don’t have to fly.
