Keynote Topics

Zion Clark has the phrase “NO EXCUSES” tattooed across his back. And for good reason.

Join Zion for a once-in-a-lifetime evening of stunning and unprecedented storytelling in which he shares his odds-defying journey of being born without legs to a drug-addicted mother, getting lost in the foster care system, and then rising above that adversity to become an All-American wrestler and Division 1 college sports captain, a Guinness World Record Holder, professional athlete, and beloved public personality.

He outlines his approach to “Crushing the Comfort Zone” as a means to find personal strength and create opportunities for growth through change, boost morale, impact those around us, and ultimately thrive—both individually and collectively—by playing the hand(s) that we are dealt.

Zion leaves audiences not only inspired, but with a better understanding as to the importance of holding ourselves accountable and how consistency and routine compound to build success.

An absolute can’t-miss presentation from one of the most unique individuals in the world today.
