Meet Justin R. Spears!
I started my journey with a passion for turning adversity into advantage. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, I’ve taken the resilience and discipline I learned in service and channeled it into the world of business, strategy, and emerging technologies.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to work with leaders and organizations to drive growth, innovation, and excellence through powerful tools and strategies. My work blends real-world grit with forward-thinking innovation—because I believe transformation happens when mindset meets momentum.
Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to:
Deliver high-impact keynotes on resilience, leadership, AI, and entrepreneurship.
Advise startups and established companies on scalable growth strategies.
Champion the responsible and effective use of AI in business.
