Joel Stanton Keynote Speaker from Medford, MA

My passion is inspiring people to live intentional, meaningful lives. I know how easy it is to just get swept along by the current. I got stellar grades, graduated with honors from a prestigious college, and had a solid career as a consultant for two decades, becoming an expert on credit card payments. Sounds great, right? In many ways, yes. But the problem is, along the way I forgot to actually think intentionally about where my life was heading. Rather, I just coasted along the same path, never really thinking about whether or not that path was leading me where I truly wanted to be. But finally, after a health scare at age 40, I realized my true passions did not lie in credit card payments, but in helping others start living an intentional life of meaning at a much earlier age than I did. My speaking experience spans more than 15 years, addressing audiences in 35 states and on 6 continents. Now, instead of talking about credit cards, I speak in a far more significant way -- inspiring audiences to intentionally live lives of meaning. To not just survive, but to thrive. I live near Boston, MA, with my wife, three kids, and one cat. I’m left handed. I like exploring new places. I don’t like the taste of chocolate(!). And I enjoy reading, hiking, and playing ultimate Frisbee, though not all at the same time.
