Jeremiah's keynote was an overwhelming success! He took the time to get to know us as a group and understand our business. He was so REAL and encouraging, weaving applicable and relevant lessons within powerful storytelling. We've held this event for years, and several of our staff told us this was their favorite keynote session ever.

We hired Jeremiah to instill a high performance team mindset in our NHL draft picks at our annual top prospects camp. Our athletes were so inspired and fired up from Jeremiah's presentation. Many stayed long after to continue the conversation with Jeremiah about embodying a high performance mindset in everything you do as part of an NHL team. It was awesome!
Ray Edwards
Director Player Development
To say Jeremiah was one of our most inspiring and engaging speakers in an understatement! He had us from the first sentence. His passion, drive and determination as well as his heartbreak and disappointment were all shared. We felt each lesson learned through his articulate and engaging, often humorous and heartfelt delivery. This year our theme was “Be the Inspiration” and Jeremiah left us all wanting to do more to be the inspiration for others.
Martina Bainbridge
Market Operations Manager
I’ve seen so many keynotes over the years. The best keynotes are emotional, relatable, and thought-provoking. Despite how unique his accomplishment, Jeremiah is so relatable to all of us. He took us on an emotional rollercoaster - my heart was pumping so hard by the end of it. His humour is great, he’s thought-provoking, articulate, and he had a truly lasting impact on our people. To any event planner: I highly recommend Jeremiah. He made me look like a rock star for bringing him in!

Cisco Connect brings thousands of IT professionals together to talk about the latest trends in technology. This year we wanted to do something different, particularly with our choice of keynote speaker. We wanted a message of hope, perseverance, and resilience during these challenging times. Jeremiah delivered with his keynote on achieving the impossible. It was a fantastic keynote and got some of the highest marks for the sessions that were delivered. Jeremiah made me laugh, made me cry, and made me believe that we can accomplish anything that we set our minds to. I highly recommend him.
Shannon Leininger
President
One of the best - if not the best - motivational speeches I have ever seen in my ~30 years in the business. People were laughing, people were crying, and everyone came out totally pumped. Jeremiah also went "above and beyond" what he was required to do by attending most of our 2 day conference and incorporating our company's context, strategy, and vocabulary into his presentation. Amazing job, Jeremiah. A++!
Frederic Perron
President & CEO
Jeremiah is a very powerful presenter. I have seen lots of keynote addresses, and this is the best of the best. He is incredibly gifted at drawing you in and feeling what he felt as he went through that four-year journey. It’s really a powerful talk. If you want to learn about resilience, and you want a keynote about resilience, grit, determination, focus, and perseverance, Jeremiah would be an outstanding presenter. He draws the audience in. His stories and the way he tells them is so powerful. He’s just a phenomenal keynote. I’d recommend him to anyone who wants that kind of message delivered to their audience.-- David Sculthorpe, former CEO, Heart and Stroke Foundation

We partnered with Jeremiah to be the opening keynote at our annual sales and training conference. His content and delivery was just what we were looking for to inspire us for our journey ahead both personally and within our business. Several long-time members of our sales team remarked that over the many years of bringing in guest speakers - from pro athletes, celebrities, successful entrepreneurs, etc. - Jeremiah's stood out as the best keynote we've ever had!
Christian Howard
National Sales Director
We booked Jeremiah as the opening keynote speaker for our first post-pandemic conference for primary healthcare physicians, leaders and change agents from across Alberta. We hoped his talk would inspire and engage the group in moving forward in unity toward a common purpose – despite all of the challenges and barriers they face. We were not disappointed. The audience was fully engaged. We both laughed and were brought to tears by Jeremiah’s honesty and vulnerability in sharing his story. We were inspired by his relatable lessons and wise insights. At the end of his talk, all 330 participants gave Jeremiah a thunderous standing ovation – something I’ve never witnessed at this annual conference. He was referenced repeatedly in the sessions to follow, and I have no doubt his story will be an inspiration for years to come. From the bottom of our hearts, Jeremiah – thank you.
Michelle Hannay

Wow, I was gobsmacked! Jeremiah is an absolutely amazing keynote speaker. He takes you on a journey from start to end that is so relatable and inspiring. I've seen a lot of keynote speakers over the years, and Jeremiah is exceptional. He is so approachable, candid, and inspiring. His keynote provokes deep reflection and genuine emotion. His insights on perseverance and navigating through uncertainty were so relevant to our experience over the past few years. It's a message of not giving up, working together as a team when progress seems uncertain, and staying hopeful in the face of adversity. I absolutely recommend Jeremiah.

Jeremiah’s story was fantastic for our annual leadership forum. It was a story of true perseverance, resilience, and fighting through in pursuit of a very high goal. It’s a great human interest story, but even better as it relates to being part of a leadership team. It’s about understanding what it takes to change, adapt, fighting through roadblocks, and never giving up from the pursuit of your goal. Jeremiah is a very engaging speaker who really connected with our people. I highly recommend him!
Mike Mosher

It couldn’t have been more perfect. We’re bringing him back to speak to the entire company in the fall. His story and message is so aligned to the transformation we’re going through as a business. We talk about failing fast and failing forward, and Jeremiah’s ability to communicate that message was so on point for us!
Dvorah Richler

Jeremiah Brown’s presentation was the top keynote presentation at our conference. Jeremiah’s captivating storytelling ability had people going through the same rollercoaster of emotions he felt on the road to achieve his dream in 4 years. He provides you with a different perspective on what resilience truly means and shows you how important it is to surround yourself with the right people. He was incredibly captivating, motivating and inspiring. As a man who truly defied statistical odds to success, he makes you appreciate and believe that you can too.
Andrea Jeffs

Jeremiah inspired our team and left us on a high note at our National Kickoff Conference, with great energy post-event! His presentation tied in perfectly with our theme of Respect the Hustle.

You can't go wrong in hiring Jeremiah. He is invested in the success of your event, but more importantly, in making an impact on your audience.

Jeremiah was our keynote speaker for our annual sales meetings, virtually this year of course. It was fantastic!!! I knew he was going to engaging and his story would touch everyone but he totally exceeded my expectations. He had us laughing, crying and on the edge of seats all in that one hour. Jeremiah kicked off our meetings and there was a buzz within the team from that point on. I would highly recommend Jeremiah if you're looking to spark and motivate your team in any department at your next company meeting. Well done Jeremiah!
Juice Lambert
VP Sales
We recently hired Jeremiah to speak at a product launch celebration for my team at Shopify, to commemorate a 2 year project, and a lot of hard work! He was super easy and enjoyable to work with. He really took the time to understand what kind of work the team does, and paid close attention to detail to offer a customized talk, tailored to our specific needs. The team was highly impressed and inspired by Jeremiah's story. They really enjoyed the insights he offered about how to keep going when you're in the middle of working towards your goal (and it seems further away than ever) while also looking ahead at the next set of challenges along the path. If you're thinking about booking Jeremiah for your next event, you will not be disappointed!
Meghan McQueen

We hired Jeremiah to keynote our annual IBAO Young Brokers Conference and wow, his keynote was a grand slam! Attendees, sponsors, partners and our team all considered it a resounding success. He skillfully tailored his presentation to our audience within a theme of self-leadership and teamwork. He's so funny, engaging, captivating and relatable. I've been raving about his keynote nonstop. He's a total pro, and so easy to work with. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. 10/10 all the way!

It was probably the best use of an hour I could have had, with the insights he brings on setting and attaining a goal ones that resonate across all walks of life. He delivers the message with humour and humility, characteristics that mark him out as an outstanding speaker. For anyone who is on a journey to improve themselves or their business, I cannot recommend listening to his story highly enough.
Alex Price
Vice Chairman
Jeremiah’s talk was awesome! He was the best speaker we’ve had! His four-year journey, and the drive that it takes to succeed, is so relevant to sales. When being turned down so often is the norm, it’s so motivating to hear what you can accomplish with a plan, the commitment to try hard enough, for long enough, and to adapt until you succeed. So relevant to our industry. I highly recommend Jeremiah!

David Dickson
Regional Director
Inspired - it is how I felt when Jeremiah finished his address at the MARS Apprentice Event. With business students, industry leaders, and guests attending we were hoping his story would capture the imagination of all and give them a sense of how attitude, work ethic, discipline and a relentless focus on goals earned Jeremiah the world record and 2012 Olympic silver medal in men's rowing. Jeremiah did just that. He shared a very personal journey that became meaningful to all of us. He spoke with passion, insight, candour and made the winning moments come alive. His authenticity and his wit resonated with all. He will influence many audiences for many years to come and I encourage you to engage with him.

Jeremiah's inspirational keynote took us through so many types of emotions, from laughter to tears, from sadness to happiness. His authentic and skillful storytelling was the perfect blend that left us with hope and with the courage to face our fears and take the extra step… whatever that step may be. His definition of resilience is one of the most simple, humble and powerful ones that I’ve heard. His presentation sent the perfect message to our team in the right tone and at the right moment. People are still unpacking and processing the info they got along the way and will digest and process the multitude of messages and learnings in the weeks to come. I highly recommend Jeremiah.
Ioana Modriu
Senior Manager of Training and Development
You can feel his humanity and personality in a way that very few professional speakers are able to pull off. I’m always weary of hiring leadership speakers who have a canned speech or tell stories they’ve found elsewhere. With Jeremiah, we hit the jackpot. He has such an amazing story, incredible delivery, and with so many relevant takeaways. He reminded us that no matter our age, career stage, or changes going on in our lives, there is always a new journey open to us if we choose. You’ve got to get this guy for your event!
Kala Harris
Executive Director
For our 25th anniversary, we wanted to invest a little more in a top speaker and, through a recommendation from a colleague, decided to hire Jeremiah. His keynote was exceptional. We received so much positive feedback from our committee, our board, and most importantly our members about both the content and Jeremiah’s great personality and presentation style. Jeremiah was definitely worth the investment and we’re glad we made it!
Marion Price
Director
We really wanted to put some wind into the sails of our people who have been working so hard through the changes and uncertainty brought by Covid-19. Jeremiah's virtual keynote presentation was fantastic as he captures his journey in an inspiring but humble and very relatable way. We've had some big-name speakers deliver virtual keynotes to our organization. They set the bar high, but Jeremiah exceeded our expectations and has now set the bar even higher.
Robert Sankey
CEO
Our company had the opportunity to hear Jeremiah talk at our National Summit. We were really impressed by his skills as our keynote speaker. His talk had a huge impact on our entire company.

We have all found Jeremiah extremely engaging and cohesive. His motivational talk gave us all a huge boost to be successful next year. I highly recommend Jeremiah. Truly impactful!
Martin Buswell
Senior Medical Science Liaison
Jeremiah was the keynote speaker closing out our Virtual National Meeting. He prepared for his presentation by interviewing me and others to be sure that he had a good sense of our culture and work realities. This paid off as his stories demonstrated sensitivity to the realities of overcoming obstacles even during a pandemic. He skillfully weaved together impactful and relatable stories that resonated deeply with our teams and created an energizing experience. He hit the mark inspiring each of us to stretch and raise our own performance bar to achieve ambitious goals. An impressive accomplishment in a Zoom environment.
Sandra Jackson
National Sales Manager
We were so lucky to have Jeremiah speak to a small group of our national sales managers. His content was inspiring and engaging, but best of all he did an amazing job relating his personal story to the challenges and opportunities facing our team – the team even commented on how well he seemed to understand the challenges they are facing. The group left motivated and excited to deliver. I would definitely recommend Jeremiah for corporate events and business groups large or small.
Kate Hogan
Director National Accounts
We hired Jeremiah to deliver a keynote at our annual conference and it was one of the best received keynotes we've ever had! Jeremiah is an incredibly dynamic storyteller. He had our entire audience engaged from start to finish. We have a diverse audience of brokers, lenders and industry professionals, so it was important to find a keynote speaker who could relate to everyone. Jeremiah captured the room and inspired us all! Also, from an event planner perspective, we worked with seventeen speakers for this conference and Jeremiah was one of the easiest to work with. Highly recommend him!

Thank you for inspiring the AutoCanada team with your story and the unique way you tell it. We were impressed that you attended our morning session and that you took our messages and incorporated them into your own. You even stayed for the awards dinner which meant a lot to us. Your story itself is impressive but the way it is told and the fact that is applicable to the business needs was amazing. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking to make the impossible, possible.
Jeff Thorpe

Jeremiah was the key note speaker for Xero Canada's go-to-market kick-off event. Xero's annual event brings together all GTM team members to reflect on the previous fiscal year and set goals for the fiscal year ahead.Jeremiah was professional, prompt and committed to delivering an impactful presentation. He did an incredible job threading together themes of his own story with that of Xero's. He dedicated time getting to know the Xero team throughout the morning and found impactful ways to relate to our audience and encourage them to look within themselves for motivation in his presentation. Feedback from the audience was that Jeremiah's key note was a highlight of the annual event, and each audience member was left feeling more inspired to prepare for new challenges ahead.
Erin McCannel

Jeremiah gave three keynote speeches during our Partner Communication Meetings across Canada. His ability to interweave his own experience and our business goals was superb. Jeremiah was able to deeply connect with our Partners at a level that had a profound impact on how they see their roles as leaders and business owners. Inspirational doesn’t really explain it with any kind of justice! Jeremiah’s anecdotes, re-telling his training and competition experience in a manner that resonates with individuals was fantastic, and he does so with so much passion and energy that it totally lit up the room!
Martin McNamara
Head of Partner Development
I had the pleasure to bring Jeremiah to a company event with more than 400 people and it was absolutely amazing. He was engaging and inspiring at the same time with some great messages about resilience, diligence and excellence.

Managing Director, In-Flight Services
Jeremiah was our Sales Kickoff keynote. He's high-energy, humorous, relatable and his story is truly remarkable. No matter what industry you're in, Jeremiah's story of transformation, competition, teamwork and grit will captivate your audience on a personal and professional level. Ahead of the event, Jeremiah took the time to record a quick teaser video just for our teams. He connected with our sales leaders by phone to understand our goals and challenges heading into the new sales year. He also joined our in-person event ahead of his keynote session to listen to our vision and strategy messaging. This preparation allowed him to connect with his audience on a deeper level and we truly appreciated his efforts. Lastly, Jeremiah didn't cut and run after his keynote was over. He stuck around to take photos with his new fans, chat with our team members and even joined us for dinner. We loved having Jeremiah as our motivational keynote speaker and would recommend him to any organization looking to inspire their teams in a meaningful way. Thank you Jeremiah!
Nicole Ward
Revenue Enablement & Operations Leader
Jeremiah was the keynote speaker at our company's Quarterly Kick Off meeting last week and he knocked it out of the park! During his discussion of how to 'Thrive During Change', and in particular his concept of 'Optimistic Resignation', he shared his insight and advice in a really relatable and funny way, which made the common sense and practical messages land in a new and impactful way with our employees. As the HR leader in our organization, I'm excited that we will be able to reference and point to his key message(s) over and over again as we continue to grow, adapt, pivot and change.
Jody Stecho
VP Human Resources
Jeremiah is a fantastic story-teller and a beautiful soul. He took the time to listen to our needs, to be there for the team and to tell his story in an unforgettable way. He knows all about resilience, adapting to change and collaboration. I strongly recommend him!

Chief Digital Officer
I hired Jeremiah to help my team find their inner resilence while recommitting to the journey of change. He drew the team into his journey through humour, relatability, and authenticity! I would highly recommend Jeremiah for any leaders looking to re-engage, re-commit, and establish clear ‘we are all in the boat’ parameters for success!!
Melanie Teed-Murch
CEO
Jeremiah was inspiring, thought-provoking and engaging. He took us through his incredible journey with emotion and humility, & aptly applied his life lessons in sport to our current business environment. Amazing talk! Thank you Jeremiah.
Tanya Hanstetter
National Business Manager
One barely expects to be engrossed in a Zoom session so much so that they can not take a water break, but here I was sitting, laughing animatedly at my laptop as Jeremiah evoked raw emotions associated with failure, victory, dreams, quitting and forgotten potential. He was one of the key speakers at Ivey Business School's session on leadership lessons. Little did I expect to learn from an Olympic rower for application in my corporate career, but he inspired us all through thought-provoking situations and circumstances that can and do occur in all professional and personal setups, be it team work, a test of resilience or chasing one’s most ambitious dreams. I would highly recommend his session to professionals and dreamers struggling to break out of their rut or in need of that one final push that will make them pursue their goal, whatever it may be.
