TEDx Talk: The Mindset That Transforms Boundaries
In my TEDx talk, I shared the pivotal realization that emerged during my Ironman journey: "What else am I convincing myself I cannot do?"
This question became a compass for my business innovations, athletic endeavors, and personal transformations - revealing how often our most significant limitations exist only in our minds.

Who You Are Being: The Leadership Dimension That Changes Everything
What if your greatest leadership breakthrough isn't about what you're doing, but who you're being while doing it? I've found that conscious leadership begins with the often overlooked dimension of "being" rather than just "doing."
Drawing from my experience scaling multiple businesses to nine figures and completing fourteen Ironman competitions, I demonstrate how our most significant achievements come not from perfecting our tactics, but from becoming more intentional about who we are as we execute them.
Key Takeaways:
- The crucial difference between performance-based leadership and presence-based leadership
- How to identify and transcend the self-imposed limitations holding you and your team back
- Practical frameworks for integrating authenticity with achievement
- The counterintuitive truth: focusing on "who" creates better "what" outcomes
Breaking Boundaries: Transforming Limitations into Catalysts
Standing at the starting line of my first Ironman competition, I had a revelation that transformed my approach to business and life: "What else am I convincing myself I cannot do?" In this compelling talk, I share how testing physical boundaries through endurance challenges revealed deeper truths about the artificial constraints we place on our potential as leaders and innovators.
Key Takeaways:
- How to identify where self-imposed limits are constraining your organization
- The methodology for systematically challenging perceived limitations
- Why comfort is the enemy of breakthrough performance
- Practical steps to create environments where teams naturally push beyond their perceived capabilities
Stop Trying to Fit In. We All Belong.
In this deeply personal talk, I explore the complexities of identity, the burden of conformity, and the liberating power of genuine belonging. I share my own story to illustrate the exhausting toll of hiding parts of oneself and the profound relief found in spaces that declare "You belong here".
Drawing from my journey building Speck Products to $140+ million in revenue, I demonstrate that fostering such spaces is not just compassionate, but is also a powerful catalyst for innovation, market disruption, and extraordinary profitability.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand why true "belonging is the opposite of fitting in" and the paramount importance of cultivating this sense of safety for personal and collective well-being
- Identify the aspects of your identity you may be shrinking or hiding, recognizing the immense strength in what makes you a "unicorn"
- Witness how an environment of authentic belonging becomes "contagious," fostering broader acceptance, deeper connection, and unlocking the full potential of any group
- Gain actionable insights on how fostering authenticity drives both individual fulfillment and remarkable business success
