National champion.

In 2025, Korey McMahon won the USASA Overall Snowboard National Championship — while serving as Chief Growth Officer of a $1 billion financial institution. He doesn't speak about performance from memory. He's proving it out this season, on both mountains.

Why this one lands

Most speakers peaked
before they got the mic.

The usual keynote is a story about something that happened a long time ago. Korey's problem is the opposite — he keeps adding to it.

The mountain

A national title, in his forties

Most people quietly set the goal down somewhere in their thirties. Korey went the other way and took the 2025 USASA Overall National Championship — competing against riders young enough to be his kids, while holding down a C-suite role. Audiences don't have to take the framework on faith. The scoreboard already ruled on it.

The balance sheet

A billion dollars, on the line

By day he's Chief Growth Officer at a $1 billion federal credit union — accountable for consumer lending, mortgage, and enterprise AI strategy. When he talks about pace, risk, or leading through change, it isn't a metaphor. It's what he answered for at last month's board meeting.

The talks

Four keynotes.
Rebuilt for your room.

Every session gets reworked after a pre-event call. Same frameworks, different proof — because a credit union audience and a sales kickoff need different evidence.

Still Competing

The goal you wrote down at 25 doesn't expire. Korey takes an audience through the exact system that produced a national championship two decades after most people would have called it a hobby — and shows them why the quitting point is predictable, schedulable, and survivable.

Audience walks out with

  • A written goal with a real deadline attached
  • The specific point where most people quit — and a plan for it
  • A weekly structure that survives a busy quarter
The TED Talk Opener or closer · High energy

You Are Unstoppable

The talk that started it all. What separates the people who finish from the people who almost do — and why the answer has nothing to do with talent, funding, or luck. Best used to open a conference on a jolt or close it on a commitment.

Audience walks out with

  • A reframe of failure as data rather than verdict
  • One deferred decision, made in the room
  • Language they can hand to their own teams

Building an AI-Native Organization

A field report, not a forecast. What it actually takes to move a billion-dollar institution from AI-curious to AI-operating: where pilots stall, why the governance work matters more than the model, and how to tell a real use case from a demo.

Audience walks out with

  • A test for separating real use cases from vendor theater
  • Governance questions to answer before deployment, not after
  • A realistic view of what year one actually produces

Leadership That Moves People

How to build a team that runs at your pace without burning out — and how to tell the difference between a team that's stretched and a team that's breaking. Built from running departments where the numbers are public and the stakes are real.

Audience walks out with

  • A method for setting pace without setting fires
  • How to develop a successor without losing your best people
  • The conversation most leaders avoid, scripted

Where this lands

If your audience runs something — a team, a branch, a book of business, a company — this works.

Financial services

Credit unions, banks, and fintech events where the speaker needs to know the business, not just the buzzwords.

Executive retreats

Leadership teams working on pace, succession, and the year ahead.

Sales kickoffs

Teams who need energy in the morning and a framework by the afternoon.

Associations

Annual conferences looking for an opener that sets the tone for three days.

Entrepreneur events

Founders who want to hear from someone who built, sold, and started again.

Colleges & young pros

Audiences deciding what to do with the next ten years.

The talk

Delivered with the energy your agenda paid for. Q&A available on request.

The follow-up

Slides and additional resources sent to attendees, so the session keeps working after the room clears.
