Why it works

Your audience has heard every keynote. They have never felt one.

By the third speaker of the day the room is on its phones and the takeaways are gone by Monday. Johnny solves the one thing every agenda is fighting for: attention that sticks. He does not describe how minds get fooled. He fools the whole room at the same moment, then shows them exactly how it happened, and why the same thing is quietly running their focus, their goals and their days.

01

It happens to them.

Not at them. Every principle in the talk is something the room just experienced. A principle that happens to you is one you do not forget.

02

Written for your room.

Before he steps on stage, Johnny works your company's language, people and theme into the talk. It lands as: that was about us.

03

Tools they keep.

Simple frameworks the audience uses the next morning, not a quote they forget by lunch.

Signature keynote

The Power of Micro Moments

How small choices shape extraordinary results.

Everyone wants something extraordinary: the next level in a career, a business that lasts, work that means something. Most people spend years chasing the big breakthrough and overlook the tiny moments that actually decide it. Johnny's keynote reveals how the smallest decisions shape identity, performance and long-term success, through storytelling, audience participation and demonstrations the room will still be talking about at the next offsite.

01

Tuning

The voices we listen to shape our beliefs, our decisions and who we think we are. Johnny shows the room, live, how easily attention gets steered, and how to take it back.

02

Alignment

Small daily choices move the needle more than the big decisions. A simple framework keeps a team pointed at the goal instead of drifting.

03

Persistence

Repetition turns impossible goals into normal Tuesdays. The finale proves it on stage.

The TEDx talk

Is your success just an illusion?

TEDxBeverlyGrove. Johnny opened holding the diploma his parents had waited his whole life to see, then fed it into a paper shredder. It is not a magic act. It is an argument about the rules most people live by without ever choosing them.

The story

A kid who could not speak English, on the Google stage.

Johnny landed in Toronto from Taiwan at twelve with no English and a lunchbox of dumplings. The kids gave him a nickname and not much else. Magic was the first language that worked. Two decades later he has performed for Google, Netflix, Amazon and Bulgari, read minds for Kris Jenner and Maye Musk, and put 700 Google executives in the palm of his hand at Google HQ. He still tells the lunchbox story first.

FAQ

How is the keynote customized to our event?

Every booking starts with a discovery call about your audience, your theme and the outcome you want. Johnny then works your company's language and challenges into the talk, so the room hears its own situation reflected back, not a stock script.

Can Johnny do virtual or hybrid events?

Yes. During 2020 he built a dedicated studio and performed more than 50 virtual shows, including paid virtual keynotes for Fortune 500 companies. The demonstrations are designed to work through a camera.

What does he need on the A/V side?

A standard keynote setup: a wireless mic, a small table near the stage, and a line into the house sound. He locks specifics with your production team on the run-of-show call.

What room sizes does this work for?

From leadership offsites to full general sessions. His largest corporate room so far was a show for 700 executives at Google HQ. The demonstrations are built to read from the back row and on screen.

How far out should we book?

Johnny takes one keynote per date, so fall kickoffs and January meetings go first. Reach out as soon as your date is set. Shorter timelines are worth asking about; if the date is open, it is yours.

Does he travel?

Yes. Based in Los Angeles, Johnny speaks across the United States and internationally.
