Keynote Speaker - Johnny Quinn
Johnny Quinn was cut three times, lost $2.6 million dollars in NFL contracts and blew out his knee. Then he became an Olympian for the United States of America. From an NFL failure to a U.S. Olympian, Johnny’s “what’s next” attitude led him to success he never imagined. Johnny’s book equips us to embrace change, accept risk and learn to PUSH Through the Barriers, to live life on purpose. Johnny Quinn delivers more than just a speech- he creates an unforgettable experience. Johnny brings a rare blend of resilience, leadership and peak performance strategies to each keynote, helping leaders tackle tomorrow's challenges head-on! Hotel
