In an age of constant acceleration, where technology, ambition, and distraction pull us in every direction, what does it mean to truly live intentionally?

Join author, ultra-endurance athlete, and six time CEO Joe Gagnon for a memorable evening exploring how purpose, resilience, and awareness can change the way we live and lead. Drawing from his journey from the Bronx to the boardroom and running six marathons on six continents in six days, Joe shares the lessons that have shaped his philosophy of Living Intentionally: a lifestyle built on energy, clarity, and integrity. This isn’t about slowing down; it’s about showing up with intention. Joe reveals how embracing discomfort becomes the path to growth, how small daily practices can unlock extraordinary results, and how living by design, not by default, can change everything. You’ll discover how to:

• Define your purpose and reconnect with what truly matters.
• Build daily habits that strengthen resilience and clarity.
• Transform discomfort into energy, focus, and growth.
• Balance high performance with deep presence and peace.

Through vivid storytelling and actionable insights, Joe invites us to rethink success not as achievement, but as alignment. Because when we live intentionally, we don’t just perform better, we become better.

Joe Gagnon is driven by a simple mission: helping people realize they are capable of far more than they believe is possible. Over the years, he has led six companies as CEO, coached top performers, and pushed himself to physical and mental extremes; completing six Ironman races, running 100-mile ultramarathons, finishing Six marathons on Six continents in Six days, and completing the legendary Badwater 135 ultramarathon through Death Valley.

Moderated by Don Scott.

Joe’s life and his second book, Living Intentionally, are rooted in the belief that growth happens at the edge. It’s in the uncomfortable, uncertain, and transformational moments that we find out who we truly are. The principles of grit, grace, and groundedness guide every step he takes. Whether he’s building a company, mentoring a founder, or speaking on stage, his goal remains the same: to inspire others to live intentionally by design, not by chance.
