Keynote Speaker.
Addiction Recovery, Reentry, and
the Daily Fight for Mental Health.
Jamie Leibert brings a story no one else has - 80+ countries, four years in federal prison, a meth addiction he still manages every day, and a movement built to prove that the only way out is through.
Four Talks.
One Core Truth.
Every talk draws directly from lived experience - not a framework Jamie learned, but the one he built to survive.
From Federal Prison to Purpose
Jamie Leibert spent 13 years in the system, group homes through four years in federal prison. This talk is for reentry programs, second-chance employers, and criminal justice reform audiences who need a formerly incarcerated speaker with a real, unsugarcoated story about life after prison. No redemption arc, just the daily work of building purpose from the ground up.
Addiction Recovery and Managing Mental Health Every Day
A meth addiction doesn't disappear. Jamie still manages his, and his PTSD, every single day - and that's the point. This talk is for healthcare, recovery, and mental health audiences who need an addiction recovery keynote speaker with lived experience, not a textbook framework.
Adventure, Risk, and Resilience: Climb and Fly
Jamie's signature is climb and fly: climbing into the world's most remote places and flying out. This talk uses adventure and calculated risk to teach resilience, showing corporate and adventure audiences how the Battling Monsters movement turns extreme sports into a daily mental health practice.
Show Up. Struggle. Suck Less. Repeat.
Building resilience under pressure. Jamie's mantra is not inspiration - it's a daily operating system. This talk breaks down the five-minute Monster Management practice and shows why consistency beats motivation every single time. Practical. Honest. No filler.
