Living Beyond Limits

At 19, Amy Purdy faced life-threatening Meningococcal Meningitis, resulting in a dual leg amputation below the knee and a kidney transplant from her father. Defying odds, she returned to snowboarding, crafting her snowboard feet, and swiftly won medals at the USASA National Championship.

In 2005, with partner Daniel Gale, she founded Adaptive Action Sports (AAS), which championed snowboarding’s inclusion in the 2014 Paralympics. There, Amy clinched Team USA’s first bronze and later became the then most decorated Paralympic snowboarder with her 2018 Team USA wins.

Branching out, she dazzled millions as the first Paralympian on “Dancing With the Stars”, making it to the finals. Today, she’s a sought-after motivational speaker, addressing giants like Microsoft and Coca-Cola. Oprah recognized her tenacity, and she’s been spotlighted in a Super Bowl ad and inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame.

Beyond accolades, motivational keynote speaker Amy promotes the power of sports, working with global organizations on inclusivity and peace. Her memoir, “On My Own Two Feet”, is a worldwide bestseller.

Where our speakers are speaking

Inky Johnson is keynoting MDRT’s annual event in June.

Leading Age used Cynt Marshall to headline last year and now has Ryan Leak and Jia Jiang booked for their June event.

Ryan Leak just addressed The National Auto Dealers Association at their 2025 annual event.

Magic Johnson will headline RSAC 2025—the World’s largest cybersecurity conference next month.

Scott Galloway addressed PCMA’s Convening Leaders Conference 2025 conference.

The NCA (National Confectioners Association) had their State of the Candy Industry Convention this month with Keynote speakers Jesse Cole and Molly Bloom who delivered inspiring messages on creative thinking and business resilience.

To say Janet Evans inspired me is an understatement. I had the great honor of being in the stadium in 1996 when the torch relay took place and have fond memories of the torch being handed by Janet to Muhammad Ali. Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for having the opportunity to have Alex Honnold speak to my senior leadership group this morning. Alex was amazing: funny, articulate, open, humble, and very engaging. My group loved him and his presentation. Please let Alex know how much we appreciated him and his accomplishments, most notably his charitable foundation.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
