Speaking

Specialist in building leaders, teams, and businesses that scale

Bring your audience the operator’s playbook.

Conferences, leadership retreats, and sales kickoffs where Jason has spoken.

He has been in the seat

Jason spent more than thirty years building organizations and developing high-level operators. He started Florida Financial Advisors at his kitchen table, grew it into six regional brands across the country, and built it to the point where it runs and grows without him in every decision. He still leads it as Founder and CEO, and he built Greatness Lab and Take The Power Back to give other people the same path.

An audience gets the operator’s version: the leadership models, the systems, and the hiring and culture decisions Jason used himself, broken down so a founder, an advisor, or a team can run them the following week. He learned that you understand vision only when you watch it change people, and that a team pulls in the same direction when it knows exactly what it is building and why.

From a job to a business to a platform

Most founders build themselves a job with more hours, more stress, and less freedom. Jason walks the room through the four phases that turn a founder-dependent business into one that grows on its own, all the way to the point where the owner’s exit becomes a choice. Best for: founders, sales kickoffs, annual conferences.

Every talk is built for the room, the industry, and the outcome the organizer wants. Core topics:

Building a leadership factory

Growth stalls when everything runs through a few heroes. Jason shows how he develops leaders on purpose, using his Five Levels of Leadership, so the organization produces its own next generation instead of depending on any single person. Best for: leadership teams, managers, growing firms.

Systems that replace heroes with rhythm

Scorecards, structured one-on-ones, and promotion tied to behavior and results. The operating system that lets a business scale predictably, so the founder is no longer the answer to every question. Best for: operations teams, high-growth sales cultures.

Recruiting and culture that compound

How Jason hires for eagerness over readiness, turns first hires into the people who carry the vision, and builds a culture that recruits and develops the next group without being told to. Best for: recruiting-driven industries, financial services, insurance.

Community that compounds

Jason builds rooms where people grow together. He shows how community and collaboration turn a group of individual producers into an interdependent team that pushes each other higher, recruits and develops its own, and lifts everyone in the organization, so the whole team rises with the top performers. Best for: membership organizations, distributed teams, association and culture- driven events.

Keynote, fireside or interview, and workshop or breakout. Jason speaks to financial services and insurance conferences, executive and leadership teams, and corporate audiences that want an operator's view of building, leading, and scaling a business.
