Johnny Crowder Speaker Profile: At A Glance
Mental health CEO, entrepreneur, and brain changer, Johnny Crowder, tackles one of the most pressing strategic concerns in business today – employee culture and wellbeing – and he reveals keys to creating a better workplace, headspace, and heartspace for all.
After more than a decade in the trenches battling his own mental health and abuse demons, Johnny Crowder has emerged as one of America’s exciting new voices on resilience, support, and people-first leadership. He is a 32-year-old suicide/abuse survivor, TEDx speaker, Billboard-charting musician, mental health and sobriety advocate, and the Founder & CEO of Cope Notes®, a text-based mental health platform that provides daily support to users in nearly 100 countries around the world.
But in the years leading up to these incredible leaps in advocacy, every day was a battle against schizophrenic hallucinations and suicidal ideation. After a lifetime of resisting professional care and shying away from sharing his story, Johnny’s curiosity flowered, and the healing slowly began.
Armed with 10+ years of clinical treatment, a psychology degree from the University of Central Florida, and a decade of peer support and public advocacy through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Johnny created Cope Notes in 2018. The award-winning startup continues to gain worldwide attention and adoption for its innovative approach to helping people of all walks of life build mental wellness on a daily basis.
Since his first keynote in 2011, Johnny's refreshingly vulnerable and candid perspective has attracted praise from hundreds of outlets, including Upworthy, CNN, and Forbes.
With authenticity, well-placed humor, and unconventional wit, Johnny draws on his own experiences to provide hopeful and proven insights into building greater mental health and a deeper connection with those around us.
After your presentation, I had MULTIPLE attendees come up to me and thank me for having you speak. Comments I heard were: “We really needed to hear this.” and “This needs to be talked about more.” and “Thank you for bringing this topic to the CEO group.” I will share your information with my peers at the other state banking associations via email, and then again when I see them in person this December during the “speaker share” portion of our conference. Brenda Unrue - Director of Education and Conferences
The session was great. Johnny was high energy, very professional, and his message resonated well with our audience of young professionals. Krista DeBrosse - Manager, Trade Show Operations
We loved having you talk to us last week. You are as engaging and warm as I thought you’d be! Colleagues kept reaching out telling me how much they enjoyed it. Thank you, Johnny! Lauren McKay - Senior Corporate Paralegal
It was both a privilege and a profound experience to have Johnny Crowder as our keynote speaker at our annual meeting. Johnny sparked crucial conversations on mental health and the importance of active participation in overcoming workplace challenges. His strategies for building a strong work culture and fostering a sense of belonging among team members were transformative.
His ability to balance entrepreneurial endeavors with his roles as a touring musician and speaker showcases remarkable resilience and contribution. Johnny’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of stepping forward and challenging the bystander effect in our actions as well as the strength it takes for personal growth.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming Johnny's inspiring presence and insights again in the near future. Shaun McMahon, President and Founder
Amazing! The feedback was great. We would love to have him back next year. Maria Molina, VP, People and Culture
Johnny was quite simply... fantastic! He really was a perfect fit for our team and he did a great job of balancing humor, seriousness, storytelling and group involvement. He was the highlight of our retreat and we hope we have the chance to work with him again in the future. I would be thrilled to be a reference / testimonial or support Johnny and your group in any way possible so please let me know if I can help there. Cliff McDonald, Chief Growth Officer
You were SO right about Johnny Crowder!!
Thanks for the strong recommendation when I asked about potential speakers on Mental Health. Johnny is SO very real! From the moment I met him, he felt like a trusted friend. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! He absolutely had a positive impact on more than 2000 of our employees today with extremely strong survey results with a score of 4.9/5 across key metrics!! - Molly Sjostrom, Senior Manager, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
It was a great morning with Johnny Crowder at our September Hospitality Breakfast. We were honored to have Johnny provide an inspirational talk that surely left an indelible mark on all attendees. Johnny’s words were a powerful reminder of the importance of the health and wellbeing of our employees and ourselves! Michelle Mazer, Senior Director, Events, Business Clubs of America, Philadelphia
ASHP staff monitoring the session agreed with most of our attendee comments in that this was an AMAZING keynote. Johnny, to say you brought it is an understatement. Your interaction with attendees was outstanding, especially in the virtual realm!
Bob Tremmel, Education Director, National Meetings
Johnny tailored his talk to speak to our audience in a way that created the most impact, and he even took the time to speak with many of them afterwards as they eagerly lined up to engage with him. It is refreshing to see a speaker of his caliber take the time to interact with attendees in such an authentic way. Johnny was personable, kind, relatable, and compassionate to each conference attendee and staff member he interacted with, and was definitely a key highlight of our event. - Jess Atchison, Marketing and Outreach Coordinator
Planning for an event that is geared towards youth to talk about their mental health, finding a dynamic relevant speaker wasn’t easy. Until we found Johnny. Throughout the planning, Johnny was extremely professional and responsive, and he even jumped in to promote the event with us on a local podcast. The excitement has not quelled and the youth are still talking about the talk that Johnny gave and how he inspired them to take control of their mental health and seek help when needed. I would absolutely recommend Johnny to speak to ANY group.” - Jennifer Wills, Flagler Health
Johnny Crowder has been one of, if not the best speakers I have had the privilege of working with. His powerful story paired with his relatability allowed for the students at our event to really connect and have meaningful conversations around their mental health. We even had students wanting to take positive action in their own lives and seek treatment after hearing Johnny’s story! Johnny comes fully prepared to engage with the audience and tailors his talks to the specific population of your event. I cannot sing high enough praises about the impact he has had on our community! There are students still talking about what an impact his story had on them. We are so grateful to have such a fierce advocate for mental well-being like Johnny as a friend! - Paige Stanton, Care Connect+
I’ve never seen a speaker drive such positive, energetic engagement in a virtual setting. Halfway through Q&A, my inbox was flooded with encore requests from our staff. Due to the demand, we invited him back a second time, and unsurprisingly, it was another smash hit. The impact Johnny’s talk has made on our company culture is still talked about to this day. He truly became part of the UMA family! - Dr. Jenna Sage, Ultimate Medical Academy
Johnny was the keynote speaker at our recent dinner for philanthropic professionals and the response from the attendees was overwhelmingly positive! Attendees shared that they appreciated Johnny’s very personal presentation style and his willingness to engage with them. Johnny was very attentive during the two pre-session meetings we had in tailoring the session to best suit the needs of our audience. He took our input to heart and incorporated ideas and concepts seamlessly into his presentation without sacrificing any of his core messaging. His attention to timelines, requests for additional information and session descriptions was impeccable! - Geula Ferguson, Florida Philanthropic Network
Johnny was the Keynote speaker at the Pasco County Schools Mental Health Symposium. We were really struggling to figure out how to support three virtual sessions for our Symposium this school year. And Johnny was the perfect fit and partner for us throughout that journey. Personally, I could not be more grateful for his flexibility, communication, and participation across all three sessions. I honestly don’t know that we would have been able to manage that with another Keynote. Our experience with Johnny was fantastic! - Wendy Belfield, Pasco County School District
I cannot speak more highly of Johnny Crowder's ability to engage audiences. A lot of men were able to shed their masculinity and truly open up to their peers without the fear of being judged; that would not have been possible without Johnny's insight, humor and candidness. In sum, we would be more than happy to welcome Johnny back to Elon University for another talk. Many of those in attendance said that Johnny was the best speaker event they had ever attended and would love to hear more from him in the future. - Ethan Haqq, Event Coordinator
