Meet Johnny Crowder – a speaker who will touch both your audience's brains AND their hearts. 💡❤️

After studying psychology at UCF and volunteering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Johnny created Cope Notes to help others improve their mental and emotional health. Now, he brings that same passion to the stage as a powerful and energizing keynote speaker.

Not your typical suit-and-tie speaker, Johnny uses storytelling, science, and humor to deliver impactful talks like:
🔹 Beyond Coping: How to Foster Resilience, Connection, and Happiness in the Workplace
🔹 The Surprising Productivity of Self-Care: Using Mindfulness to Combat Burnout and Compassion Fatigue
🔹 The Punk Rock Guide to Building a Brand: How to Earn Millions Without Selling Your Soul

When he's not speaking, Johnny is a certified recovery peer specialist, mental health advocate, and metalhead touring with his band. 🤘

Ready to bring a new kind of energy to your event? Johnny Crowder is the speaker you need.

At Preferred Speakers, we stand in solidarity with the people of Florida as they navigate the aftermath of the recent hurricanes. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this devastation.

We want to especially recognize our two featured speakers of the month, Ashley Rhodes-Courter and Johnny Crowder, both of whom are from this area. Their lives have been turned upside down by the storms, but through it all, they’ve shown incredible strength and resilience. Their experiences have only deepened their faith in the kindness and generosity of humankind, reminding us all of the power of community and compassion during tough times.

We are inspired by their unwavering spirit and dedication to helping others, and we encourage everyone to offer support in any way possible, whether through donations or acts of kindness. Together, we can help Florida rebuild and recover.
