Full Bio

Jon Talbert is a Speaker/Writer who has established a national reputation as a “Humanitarian Entrepreneur”. Jon started a compassion organization called Beautiful Day that spread virally across the country and has served thousands in random acts of kindness. Each year he entertains and inspires audiences with amazing stories of regular people stepping into life-changing acts of heroism all because they decided to serve someone else on the planet.

Jons passion to be the hands and feet in the world is a vital message that engages and challenges University students. Jon shared engagingly from his own life about his journey and how in both funny and stretching ways he developed and expressed a heart of service.”
~George Fox University

Jon brings a powerful message to High School and University students, corporations, and non-profits organizations looking to inspire their people to live a “heroic” life.

Outstanding Job last night. Lots of hands raised to be Heroic!
~San Jose State

Thanks again for speaking to our High School kids today. They loved hearing from you! Some kids said, You know the speaker is doing a good job when kids arent leaving to go to brunch, AND we can remember what he said. So, yay… and sincere thanks and blessings! Well have you back again.
~The Kings Academy

With a unique background in both compassion and comedy, Jon discovered that there was a new story that needs to be told. When he speaks its as if the auditorium has turned into a comedy club, and laughter wins the heart of the audience and validates their reason to hear a message that can change their lives and quite possibly the world. Jon Talberts message is hysterically funny, inspiring, and actually motivates you to do something Heroic with your life.

Jon has gifting as a visionary especially when it comes to compassion for the marginalized in our society. His ideas are ideas for whole organizations/ states/ countries. His passion for righting the wrongs in society makes him a very needed asset when launching compassion movements and outreaches. He’s also a good comedian!
~Pinecrest Community Parker CO.

His message helps you define your “Heroic Genius” which is simply the idea of “discovering your unique contribution to mankind and the planet, and having the courage to walk in it”.

Jon not only reconnects his audience with the DNA of compassion, but helps them to develop their own personal “genius” playlist to serve humanity like no one else can. Heroic Genius is not just about “dishin out the lovin”… its about changing your world.

Last night a bunch of the youth coaches got together and the topic quickly turned to your message and how to address the challenge you left with us. If your goal in speaking is to inspire folks to action, spot on.
