The theatrical retail experience is the entire keynote: Johnny shows audiences how he turned a joke into a multi-million-dollar brand by treating customer experience like a five-senses production rather than a transaction. He was named America's #1 young entrepreneur by BusinessWeek and a top retail innovator by The Boston Globe.

Johnny Cupcakes' fan base includes thousands of customers with the company logo tattooed on their bodies - one of the strongest concrete proofs of brand loyalty in modern retail.

The brand has been featured in Inc. Magazine and adopted by Fortune 500 companies and educational institutions as a teaching case study. Bundling a small Johnny Cupcakes giveaway as part of a corporate booking is something his team can scope on request.

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.

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.
