🪄 What happens when a magician and 2x Pro Bowl NFL player teaches resilience without the usual clichés?

Jon Dorenbos has lived through the kind of adversity most people can’t imagine—and turned it into a keynote that’s equal parts belly-laughs + gut-check + standing-ovation energy.

In today's episode, Jon and I get into the real stuff:

👉 Talk to yourself. Don’t just listen. Write the script you want your brain to run.
👉 Find peace on purpose. Jon’s “ritual” is shuffling cards—your team’s might be something else… but the principle holds.
👉 Forgiveness isn’t approval. It’s freedom.
👉 Authenticity wins. Stop performing “leadership.” Start practicing it.
👉 Wear the next hat. Change isn’t a threat—it’s the assignment.

🎙️ Listen now and find out why this delivers impact for event & meeting planners:

✅ A mainstage that holds the room (entertainment + meaning, not fluff)
✅ Perfect for: resilience, change, culture, performance under pressure, sales kickoffs, leadership resets
✅ Actionable mindset tools people can use the same day (not “take a deep breath” advice)
✅ A story audiences feel—then a framework they can repeat

Most "champions" talks are highlight reels. 🏆 This one gets into what your team does when the cameras are off.

Keynote speaker Ross Bernstein has spent his career studying the habits, rituals, and mindsets of the world's greatest athletes and teams. He knows why some rosters become champions while others stay talented and average.

In this episode, Ross and I talk about the real DNA of winning: the unseen work, the uncomfortable feedback, and the tiny decisions that separate contenders from champions.

Why this delivers impact for event & meeting planners:

✅ Champion Habits, Not Hype – How elite performers build boring, repeatable habits that your sales, service, and leadership teams can steal

✅ Behind the Trophies – Tom Brady, Magic Johnson, and others: what actually shows up in practice, not just on posters

✅ Doors, Not Dead Ends – A fresh way to frame setbacks so your people push through, not tap out

✅ Feedback as a Competitive Edge – Turning criticism into "room for improvement" instead of resentment

✅ Humility Over Hero Ball – Why being coachable, kind, and easy to work with matters more than being the star

✅ From Locker Room to Ballroom – How Ross customizes "champion" stories so your audience leaves with plays they can run on Monday

🎙️ Listen now to hear how Ross turns locker-room stories into a practical framework any team can use to think, act, and deliver like champions:

"Teamwork" talks can be trust falls and buzzwords. But this one?

This one was recorded by someone who's actually landed jets on a moving ship. At night.

🎖️ Combat-decorated Navy fighter pilot and leadership keynote speaker Jack Becker joins me to break down what real collaboration looks like when failure isn't a bad quarter but it's a fireball on the horizon. From life in the cockpit to life on your org chart, Jack shows how elite teams protect each other's blind spots, fix small errors fast, and keep performing when the seas get rough.

🎙️ Listen to the full conversation with Jack Becker to learn more on how he delivers impact for event pros:

✅ Team Sport, Even in a Solo Seat – Why even "lone" roles (pilots, executives, top producers) rely on a cast of dozens. And what that means for how you staff, support, and measure your highest-visibility people.

✅ Built-In Backup Culture – How to build cultures where colleagues are expected to speak up, catch drift early, and protect each other's blind spots without triggering defensiveness.

✅ Debrief or Repeat It – Fighter-squadron-style debriefing you can steal for your events and projects so you stop reliving the same avoidable issues, year after year.

✅ Ego + Vulnerability = Trust – What happens when teams are confident and honest about mistakes. And how leaders can model that balance so people feel safe telling the truth.

✅ Everyone Has a Voice, Not Just the Rank – Lessons from aviation and healthcare on flattening communication so the quietest person in the room can still prevent the biggest mistake.

✅ Training for Rough Seas – Why your real competitive edge isn't perfection, it's how your team responds when the carrier deck (or market) suddenly turns choppy. And how to build that muscle on purpose.

Your audience isn’t craving more content.

They’re craving a story that feels like it’s about them.

Hall of Fame speaker and brand guru Bruce Turkel breaks down why the right story, told the right way, is still the most powerful business tool you own. From harmonicas to high-stakes keynotes, Bruce shares how to turn personal moments into universal messages your audiences can’t stop talking about.

Why this delivers impact for event professionals:

✅ Story as Human Technology – Why storytelling is the original operating system for connection, trust, and action (not just a “nice-to-have” on your agenda).

✅ Tell Their Story, Not Yours – How to turn your experiences into universal truths your audience sees themselves in—so they remember the message and move on it.

✅ “Valuable” vs. “Value” Speakers – The difference between booking a famous name and booking a session people quote in meetings six months later.

✅ Audience-First Event Design – Practical ways to align what the company wants with what attendees actually crave—so no one feels sold to, they feel spoken for.

✅ Risk Is the New Engagement – How bold questions, interaction, and participation transform keynotes from passive content into can’t-look-away experiences.

✅ Music, Meaning & Memory – Bruce’s use of music as a creative twist that helps audiences feel the story, not just hear it—and leave with a real sense of accomplishment.

What if the most powerful performance tool on your agenda is two simple words of gratitude? “Thank you.”

Transformational keynote speaker Chris Schembra has spent years helping leaders turn gratitude into a strategy.

Instead of more talk about perks and performance metrics, this episode goes straight to the human side of leadership: chosen surrender, connection, and the art of practicing gratitude on purpose.

In today’s podcast, Chris unpacks how gratitude can reset burnt-out teams, deepen trust, and create the kind of culture people don’t want to leave. It’s part mindset shift, part playbook for designing more human workplaces and events.

Why this delivers impact for event professionals (and all listeners):

✅ Gratitude as leadership: the simple practice that builds trust faster than bonuses
✅ “Chosen surrender”: slowing down just enough to hear what your people actually need
✅ From icebreakers to impact: questions that unlock real stories in rooms full of strangers
✅ How shared gratitude moments turn audiences into communities
✅ Practical ways to hardwire pro-social behavior into your agenda (and keep it alive after)

Most talks chase clicks. This one measures energy—and shows you how to manage it.

Most keynotes inspire you to face adversity.

This one dares you to choose which side of your vision you want to feed.

Dr. Magie Cook went from orphaned and homeless to building a salsa company from $800—and selling it for $231 million.

This week on The Keynote Curators Podcast, Magie shares how event professionals can turn adversity into a practical playbook—one that helps events spark real change and inspires attendees to see the world in a brand new way.

🎧 Listen now to our conversation (in English and Spanish!) and you'll learn:

✅ Adversity → Advantage: Pain doesn’t have to shrink you; if you shift your mindset, it actually sharpens you.
✅ Victim or Victor: Fear and joy can’t coexist, so feed the good wolf in you.
✅ Purpose Pays: When you know your "why", you can face any adversity along the way.
✅ Future Casting: Visualize the goals you want to achieve, then hit the shots you need to make (even if your eyes are closed!).
✅ Success Isn’t Straight: The middle of your story might be messy, but that’s where growth happens.
✅ No One Is Self-Made: Nobody makes it to the top alone, so remember the people who lifted you up along the way.

🎙️ Breakthroughs in life aren’t luck. Nor do they only happen when everything goes right. They’re built through resilience when the plan falls apart.

🎧 In this week’s episode of The Keynote Curators Podcast, I sit down with Johnny Quinn—former pro football player, U.S. Olympian, and bestselling author of PUSH.

Yes, his Olympic bathroom-door story is legendary, but the point isn’t the door, it’s the mindset. When a barrier won’t budge, do you push through and aim at the next goal or stay stuck where you are?

🎯 Johnny shares his playbook for:

✅ Determining your first move when a door (literal or figurative) won’t open
✅ Turning setbacks into springboards (NFL cuts → Team USA)
✅ Understanding why teams dig in on change—and how to unstick them
✅ Converting keynote energy into Monday habits
