Keynotes
Outcome-led talks designed around the room, the stakes, and what the audience should be able to do next.
KEYNOTES · FIRESIDES · PANELS · HBCU PROGRAMS
Move the room from inspired to equipped.
Jonathan brings operating truth, founder experience, and a practical framework to audiences that need more than a moment of motivation.
FORMATS
Built for the audience in front of him.
The format changes. The standard does not.
Fireside chats
Direct, conversational sessions that connect business, leadership, ownership, grief, faith, culture, and execution.
Panels
An operator’s perspective for conversations that need specificity, substance, and a point of view.
HBCU + leadership programs
Programs on preparation, ownership, entrepreneurship, legacy, practical AI, and building systems that survive the moment.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Preparation before presentation.
The goal is a useful experience before, during, and after the talk.
Audience discovery + talk alignment
Clarify audience, business context, desired behavior, sensitive boundaries, and the outcome the organizer wants.
Custom examples + executive-ready language
Shape examples and language so the talk feels built for the room rather than dropped into it.
Approved introduction + AV checklist
Make the handoff, stage requirements, and event logistics easy for the producer and the audience.
Post-talk action memo
When scoped, the engagement ends with a concise action memo the audience or leadership team can use after the applause.
WHY THE ROOM LISTENS
Experience with something to teach.
Proof supports the message; it does not replace it.
P&G + Amazon
Documented roles across procurement, product supply, instock, and global programs give the stage content an operating backbone.
Mama Row’s Caramel
A founder story rooted in loss, purpose, product, customers, sourcing, and the reality of building with limited resources.
The 5 Principles
Purpose, Passion, Perspective, Preparation, and Presentation give the audience a framework they can remember and use.
