Core Themes & Keynotes

Evan addresses global audiences at conferences, corporate offsites, schools, and panels.

The Good Life

Creating a good life requires an active awareness of how our surroundings influence our choices. How many are actually your own, and how many are the result of what you consume?

Presence & Aliveness

Aliveness doesn't just start on the edge of a cliff. It is found in the silence, the discomfort, and the active choice to wake up when it would be easier to lose ourselves in distraction.

River Adventures & Ultra Performance

From navigating remote rivers to endurance challenges. True peak performance isn't found in hacks; it is found in pure presence, resilience, and knowing how to push your own baseline.

Mental Health & Well-being

We cannot look at our minds in isolation. Everything—our physical health, relationships, technology, society, and consumerism—interconnects to dictate our daily well-being.

Knowing & Trusting Yourself

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. It teaches us to take greater responsibility for our choices, so we become less a product of our environment, and more a creator of it.

Dealing with Failure

Life is hard. Being human means knowing how to meet the hard parts and find peace. Whatever we are experiencing in the present moment is telling us something about our relationship to life.

Thriving in Uncertainty

Knowing everything, or thinking we do, stifles our curiosity and limits our possibilities. Our lives become far more enjoyable when we find contentment in not knowing.

Technology & Distraction

Our fast-paced, uber-connected, yet entirely disconnected modern world preys on the lost and the distracted. In many ways, it actively helps create them.

Healthy Masculinity

When we show authenticity and vulnerability, we build trust. We break down unhealthy, dangerous perceptions of what strength really is—and a beautiful ripple takes shape.

Words from the Room

Reflections from global event organizers and attendees.

"Evan delivered an engaging and insightful keynote at GOTO Amsterdam. He clearly defined a number of key aspects helping each one of us to focus on what we can do to be happy. At GOTO Amsterdam he took dense content and presented it in a way that was relatable, interesting and engaging. I can highly recommend using Evan as a keynote speaker."
