Speaker Introductions

For General Introduction:

Our keynote speaker today isn’t just someone who talks about transformation… he’s lived it.

After more than 25 years in the film industry, working as a producer, production manager, animal trainer, and even a celebrity wrangler, he made a bold shift. He turned inward and began a decades-long exploration into consciousness, meditation, and the deeper dimensions of human potential.

His journey has taken him from the intensity of crisis counseling to the depths of shamanic practice to becoming a pioneer in sound therapy and a trusted guide for people navigating life’s most pivotal moments.

Along the way, he’s studied with some of the most respected teachers in the world, including Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and Mindfulness pioneer Jon Kabat-Zinn.

For over 30 years his teachings, workshops, retreats and meditations have transformed thousands of lives by connecting people with clarity, purpose, and their authentic selves. His work continues to reach a global audience. His ‘One Minute Meditation’ on the Insight Timer app has been played over 2.5 million times across the world.

He possesses a rare combination of grounded wisdom, real-world experience and deep compassion.

Please join me in welcoming… Don Reed Simmons.

For College / University / High School

Alright. Quick question. Has anyone here ever felt completely overwhelmed, unsure what direction to take, or like you’re doing everything … but still feel off?

Yeah then you’re really going to want to hear this.

Our next speaker didn’t start out in meditation or personal growth. He was in the film industry for over 20 years of high pressure, fast pace and long hours. It's the kind of world where burnout is basically normal after only 5 years.

But instead of staying stuck in that cycle, he made a shift. A really big one. He started asking deeper questions about purpose, alignment and what actually makes a life feel meaningful.

That journey led him into what you could call the ‘inner game’ of life. For the past 30 years he’s been helping people figure themselves out especially in moments when things feel uncertain or overwhelming.

His ‘One Minute Meditation’ has over 2.5 million plays worldwide… which means a lot of people turn to his work when they need clarity—fast.

So if you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or just ready for something more…

You’re in the right place.

Please welcome… Don Reed Simmons.
