Keynote Speaker / Adventurer / Writer / Coach / WanderBound Host

FROM ADVERSITY TO GREATNESS

Ari Gunzburg helps teams overcome burnout, disconnection, and quiet quitting by reigniting human connection and building real resilience. His message is forged from personal experience with challenging moments–months before COVID, a fire destroyed his family’s belongings, and his business collapsed shortly after.

From bringing a pet frog “back to life” (yes, really, ask him) to producing a two-hour movie in just two weeks, Ari believes anything is possible, and he shows audiences how to believe it too.

With unstoppable energy, outdoors-inspired stories, and an easy likability, Ari delivers keynotes that help people find true connection to themselves, their purpose, and others.

Spark momentum and unlock your team’s greatness.

Unlock Your Greatness: Finding Meaning, Motivation & Momentum
Disengaged teams aren’t lazy, they’re disconnected from everything important to the team. In this energetic keynote, Ari Gunzburg helps audiences reconnect to purpose, people, and self using stories from the outdoors and his 5 Keys To Greatness framework. Through interactive moments (yes, there’s a board), humor, and practical tools, your team will leave re-energized and ready to move forward.

There is also a SALES or LEADERSHIP version of this keynote.

Learn to Breathe Underwater: Adapting to Change When Pressure Rises

Change fatigue can drown momentum. Using insights from scuba diving, Ari equips teams to stay calm, adapt fast, and lead through pressure. With the choice to adapt to the change instead of quiet quitting away, this talk helps audiences find clarity in the chaos and build confidence, even when the waters get deep.

The Power of Possibility: Thinking Bigger to Break Through Limits

When teams feel stuck, innovation stalls. Ari reignites dreaming of what can become possible when you only imagine it so through stories of wild hikes, impossible goals, and lessons from nature. This keynote shows how positive framing and shifting perspective can break through mindset blocks and unlock bold new solutions.

The Resilience Rebellion: Real Tools to Beat Burnout and Bounce Back

Burnout spreads when resilience is treated like a buzzword. Ari starts by showing we have to rebel against the status quo to forge our own way, with true resilience to make it through the hard times. He then  brings real tools, authentic stories, and outdoor-inspired strategies to help people rebound from adversity and reignite their spark. This keynote helps teams rebuild energy, stay grounded, and keep showing up.

Ari Gunzburg pulls back the curtain on AI with a keynote that’s part experiment, part performance, and 100% eye-opening. With segments of the talk generated by AI and others enhanced through human iteration, this keynote shows—in real time—the difference between automation and artistry.

While Ari is best known for helping organizations reignite purpose, performance, and resilience, he also uses AI daily to streamline workflows, generate creative concepts, and support client outcomes. This hands-on experience informs his refreshingly grounded take on what AI can and can’t do.

From cringey robotic phrasing to moments of brilliance, Ari highlights how AI models respond to different prompts, compares quality across versions, and ultimately demonstrates why collaboration with AI is more powerful than full delegation. With humor, live examples, and a heavy emphasis on human presence and storytelling, Ari leaves audiences both better informed and more optimistic about the future of work

P.S. Yes, this description was written by AI…but don’t worry, the speech is performed by a human.

As artificial intelligence transforms the workplace, a new leadership challenge is emerging: staying human. In this energizing keynote, Ari Gunzburg draws from his deep personal experience using AI in daily business workflows to explore how teams and leaders can embrace tech without sacrificing connection, creativity, or trust.

Ari blends stories from the great outdoors with real-world AI use cases to highlight the irreplaceable value of human presence. He offers a compelling call to action: Don’t just use AI blindly, use it with surgical precision and be wary of what it can and can’t do effectively. With a mix of humor, vulnerability, and nature-inspired insight, Ari helps audiences reconnect to what makes us unique, and shows how real connection is your team’s ultimate competitive advantage.
