Without the tools to cement what they’ve learned, that energy risks fading once the event is over. That’s where Julian’s complimentary 60-minute workshop comes in.

Julian Mather’s story is proof that the person you are today doesn’t have to be the person you become.
He was a stutterer and a people-pleaser who learned that staying quiet made others more comfortable. So he did. For decades.
But behind the silence was a fierce curiosity and a love for learning—just not the kind you find in classrooms. Julian ditched school and educated himself at the library, dreaming of being a photojournalist. That led him to the army, where he became a sniper (less yelling, still no talking). Then to life behind a camera for 25 years, filming documentaries for ABC, BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel.
He met the world's greatest minds, and it sparked a quiet envy. Why could they speak with such confidence? Why not him?
So he changed. Radically. Repeatedly.
He became a magician and performed 2000 shows. That cured his stutter. He launched a YouTube channel—30 million views, 140,000 subscribers. He built and sold an online education business. He failed. Then failed again. Then got back up. Each time.
Today, Julian is a sought-after keynote speaker who shows audiences how to take change in stride and do things they never imagined they could.
He’s climbed mountains. Won a Golden Guitar (despite being musically tone-deaf). Raised a family. And most importantly, stopped comparing himself to others.
Julian’s keynote isn’t just a talk. It’s a torch—lighting the way from who you are to who you could become.
