KEYNOTE SPEAKER

 

Redefine Impossible, James Lawrence

When you are navigating change, chasing big dreams, or feeling stuck, accomplishing goals can feel impossible. What you and your team need is to unlock untapped performance and turn the impossible into the next milestone. Because the finish line isn’t out there somewhere – it starts with one step, one promise, one “Here we go.”

James Lawrence, known as the Iron Cowboy, is the only person to complete 50 Ironmans in 50 days across all 50 states – and then raise the bar again with 100 Ironmans in 100 consecutive days. Before becoming the greatest endurance athlete in history, James was a successful entrepreneur, running a thriving mortgage company and helping hundreds of clients build wealth through homeownership and strategic refinancing.

Through raw storytelling, behind-the-scenes insights, and a high-energy experience, James will challenge you to rethink what you believe is possible – not just physically, but mentally, professionally, and personally. Be prepared to win the internal battle, push through self-doubt, and reset under pressure, especially when everything in you wants to quit. When you change your internal narrative, you don’t just break limits – you redefine them.
