Ryan Campbell is one of the world’s leading mental health and resilience keynote speakers. His gripping story of adventure and adversity leaves audiences in laughter, tears, and inspired into action. As a teenager, Ryan became the youngest solo pilot to fly around the world and was named one of Australia's 50 great explorers. But everything changed after a tragic plane crash that left him with a paraplegic diagnosis, told he would never walk again.
Over the next several years, Ryan’s incredible recovery back to walking and flying again defied the odds. While he ticked the boxes that defined success, his mental health had never been worse. Like many in today’s world, Ryan was struggling with burnout, anxiety, and depression.
His missing puzzle piece wasn’t found in a massive global expedition or miraculous recovery. Ryan’s greatest lesson was parked right in his driveway.
Today, Ryan speaks to organizations around the world about the life-changing power of prioritizing joy. Through the story of his Elvis-inspired 1960 pink Cadillac, he shares accessible and attainable frameworks that will immediately improve mental health, fuel performance, and transform culture.
Through harnessing the power of joy, Ryan helps audiences shift their thinking so that they can step back in order to show up better. All by asking one simple question…
What’s Your Pink Cadillac?
What’s Your Pink Cadillac?
It’s clear the path to a thriving, high-performing team isn't 'winning at any cost' – that only leaves employees drained and unproductive.
But despite the 'new and improved' landscape of remote work, the allure of unlimited PTO, and a $ 22.01 billion investment in wellness programs in the US1, disengagement, burnout, and disconnection are trending upward.
We’re trying to create balance, but we’re just spinning our wheels...
What now?
THE ANSWER IS SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE: PRIORITIZE JOY.
By investing time in what matters most, we balance the drains on our energy and performance. The “step back” is how we move forward, showing up stronger, more connected, and more productive than ever.
It’s a lesson Ryan Campbell learned from an unexpected source. The youngest person to fly solo around the world, he was living the life of his dreams—until a plane crash left him with a paraplegic diagnosis. What followed was a grueling physical recovery, a hard-earned masterclass in mental health, and a remarkable transformation sparked by an unlikely source—a 1960 Pink Cadillac named Flo.
What began as a survival strategy has become a wake-up call that’s impacted tens of thousands of lives. With humor and heart, Ryan reveals a counterintuitive path to accessible, attainable wellbeing and performance—through the life-changing impact of prioritizing joy.
Through The JoyAuditTM framework, he empowers audiences to take back control of their time and commit to what recharges them—not because it’s “nice to have,” but because joy is the most transformational fuel for performance, resilience, and wellbeing.
The Result? Close-knit cultures, more engaged employees, and teams that can thrive through change.
This keynote is ideal for any audience:
- Stuck in go-mode, convinced that time for joy is a luxury or something they have to “earn”
- Meeting all the demands and checking all the boxes, but feeling increasingly exhausted, disconnected, and overwhelmed
- Navigating an intense season of change and struggling to maintain their mental health and wellbeing
Your audience will leave with a -
- Personalized Joy Audit: Leave with a step-by-step process to assess, adjust, and integrate more fulfilling moments into every day, so they can stop surviving and start living a joy-fueled life
- Shift from Reactive to Intentional Living: The tools to take control of their time and decisions, making space for what matters as they move from autopilot to purposeful action
- Commitment to Building Community & Finding Their Tribe: A deeper appreciation for how shared joys and passions create meaningful connections, fostering a sense of belonging at work and in life
- Sustainable Path to Success: A new definition of success that expands beyond productivity to include alignment with purpose, fulfillment, and wellbeing, so they can step back to show up—better and stronger than ever
Bounce Back Better
In a fast-paced world where the challenges keep coming and the solutions seem out of reach, we too often mistake endurance for resilience—plodding ahead relentlessly, while slowly losing touch with our purpose, hope, and reason to keep going.
But true resilience doesn’t come from powering through at all costs. It comes from stepping back, reconnecting with what matters, and making space for moments of joy—so we can move forward with renewed capacity, clarity, and heart.
