  • Retiring? Let’s do it right!

    Jennifer Martin, MA, LPC, NCC, Clinical Therapist

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    Jumping into retirement is a lot like jumping into a swimming pool on the first day of summer. The water looks refreshing, and you think you’ll like it. But you’re not sure, and you realize that you might not like it at all. MORE >

    You may not even be sure of how you want to do it. Just jump right into the deep end? Ease your way down the steps? Dive in, or just sit on the side and dangle your feet? And what if you end up in a belly flop?

    Yes, retirement is a lot like getting into a swimming pool, and there is a surprising degree of uncertainty and stress that come along with it.

    This speech covers the many aspects of retirement to consider in order to make that transition an enjoyable one from the workforce into life after work. While most materials focus only on the financial aspect of retirement, this talk will introduce the full spectrum of considerations.

    Points covered will be how to prepare for all the adjustments that a successful retirement requires, including the areas of the social, physical, relational, recreational, emotional, marital, and, yes, the financial.

    Done well, retirement is an exciting and satisfying time of life. Let’s make it happen!

    • Keep investors engaged in your pitch
    • Learn how to build a deck that take you to then next level
    • Turn attention into interest, and interest into real investor conversations MORE >

    Investors do not owe you their attention.

    You have to earn it.

    And you do not earn it with a 42 slide data dump.

    You earn it 15 seconds at a time.

    Fifteen seconds to make them care.

    Fifteen seconds to make them curious.

    Fifteen seconds to keep them from checking their phone.

    Fifteen seconds to get to the next 15 seconds.

    My talk is very blunt, practical, no nonsense breakdown of what a pitch deck actually needs to do.

    How do I know? I know from both sides. I am embarrassed to tell people how many pitches I have presented and failed with. I have sat through even more pitches I thought I would be interested in; and couldn't wait for the founder to leave.

    Attendees will learn how to:

    • Stop building decks that kill investor interest
    • Understand what investors actually look for first
    • Cut the slides that make you feel smart but make investors tune out
    • Build a deck that earns meetings, not polite rejection
    • Turn attention into interest, and interest into real investor conversations

    This talk is not for fragile founders who want compliments.

    It is for serious founders who want capital.

    Because the harsh truth is this:

    A great business can die behind a bad pitch.

    And most founders never realize they lost the investor before slide two.

    Sean Jones, MS, MBA, 3X Founder | Investor | Psychotherapist | Entrepreneur |, Sean B. Jones Enterprises

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

    This is is a talk on how Human Intelligence will determine the best use of Artificial Intelligence.

    This is a practical, real world talk about AI from the perspective of Sean B. Jones, MS, MBA, licensed psychotherapist, entrepreneur, and Fortune 100 business executive. MORE >

    The next version of AI will likely already be here by the time you finish reading this description.

    And most people are either overhyping it, ignoring it, fearing it, or using it badly.

    In this practical, provocative, and highly accessible talk, Sean B. Jones, MS, MBA brings the perspective of a licensed psychotherapist, business executive, entrepreneur, and operator to one of the most important shifts of our time.

    This talk is not for software engineers and technical experts.

    This talk is not filled with jargon.

    It is for beginners, intermediate AI users, business leaders, curious professionals, educators, parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone who knows they cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while AI reshapes work, communication, decision making, creativity, education, and society.

    The central message is simple:

    The people who benefit most from AI will not necessarily be the most technical.

    They will be the most thoughtful.

    The most curious.

    The most discerning.

    The most human.

    AI will not replace human intelligence.

    But people who know how to use AI wisely may outperform, or outpace people who do not.

    This talk walks audiences through six practical pathways for understanding where AI is today, where it is likely headed over the next one to three years.

    This is not a “robots are taking over” talk.

    We will talk a little about people that use Human Intelligence with AI and people who let AI think for them.

    When attendees leave, they will have new insights into HI and AI.

    They will want to talk about it with their coworkers, their families, their leadership teams, and everyone they know.

    And once you understand that AI requires HI, you will never look at the future the same way again.
