Frequently Asked Questions

*Actually* asked questions by past clients!

How is John different from other motivational speakers?

There are three things that set motivational speaker John Beede apart from every other speaker who is out there:

1. He does NOT speak from the standard formula of, 'this bad thing happened, I overcame it... and you can too!" While that's often helpful and valuable, John teaches student leaders how to craft and architect the life, lifestyle, and society of their dreams, no matter their starting place. "You don't have to wait for a bad thing to happen to start your inspirational journey. You just have to decide to start," John says.

2. His stories come from real-life mountaineering adventures... and he's still climbing! John has climbed over 100 mountains in his life. Some big in size and notoriety, some unheard of. Therefore, while his lessons are supported by research, they aren't sourced from a textbook. They're real, one-of-a-kind adventures and not something that John did in the past. John still IS the person you hear on stage.

3. The multimedia is mind-blowing. The videos, music, and photos make John's events feel more like a motivational rock concert than just another boring 'speech.' You don't want your team thinking they are forced into listening. 

Can he offer a virtual keynote speech on Zoom or Teams?

John offers a pre-recorded 'mountaintop keynote' in which he climbs a literal mountain and, using a drone, GoPro, and 360 camera, he delivers the keynote to your audience from a literal mountaintop. 

He is also available for live virtual presentations from his home studio.

Please get in touch with your event dates and preferred option.

Does he offer workshops or breakout sessions?

Absolutely. Many groups add workshops to give students a richer experience. The workshops are 60% technical, 40% entertainment while the keynote is 60% entertainment, 40% technical.

In our experience, those who choose to attend breakout sessions get a richer learning experience from John as a result of the sessions. They are recommended for every event. 

What does it cost for John to speak at our event?

John is one of the top youth motivational speakers in the world and charges accordingly.

 Please contact us with your event dates and Brandon or Cristina with Top Youth Speakers will let you know John's rates. 

In case John's rates are outside of your budget's limits, they'll also be able to provide you with an alternative.


Send a quick message with your questions to John's agent, Brandon Spinnazola and he'll get back to you on the same day within normal business hours.

Is he, like, an annoying diva to work with?

The dude regularly sleeps while hanging from cliffs and spends his free time on glaciers while starving and thirsty.

He has few needs for creature comforts.

At your event, all this youth motivational speaker requests is a screen, projector, lighting, and sound system. He'll bring the rest, including laptop cables and microphone.

If he agrees to your event, it's because he wants to be there. Meaning, he will show up early and stay late, interacting with each and every person who's interested in chatting.

John prides himself in being 'super-easy to work with' and 'super-easy to book.' Email John's agent to get the ball rolling.

Alicia A.

California Student Leadership Conference Attendee

"Most speakers just drag the audience along. I actually did not want it to end when it did. I was sitting there, wanting more, which is something tough to get from a speaker. I came back for one of your workshops the next day because I wanted more. Most motivational speakers leave you thinking, "Yeah right," or "That's not possible." I left your workshop feeling more confident in myself, as if I could do anything. You're the best I've seen." 

John Thompson

Minnesota Conference Attendee

The way he started his speech was like nothing I have ever heard! The climbing story really got. me into his speech. I really loved it and I know more about leadership and success to help me in my new State President position. Climb On!"

Amanda L.

North Dakota Leadership Student

You had a completely different style of speaking that made you more interesting and more personable than other speakers. You were the favorite speaker of my entire state officer team. I'm glad we had a refreshingly different speaker like you to wake us up in the middle of the day."

Kenji Brown

Georgia Teen Leader

Out of all the speakers I was introduced to, you were my favorite. I felt that I could connect with you the most, because you told me a part of you, not just something that you've learned. The fact that you were interesting and funny, but were telling something personal, made you keep the attention of me and the other attendees."

Ashley D.

North Carolina Youth Business Leader
