Redefine F.A.I.L. — Full Keynote

"My name is Jedidiah Gabriel Collins, and I am a great failure." The full keynote on turning setbacks into First Attempts In Learning.

Signature talks

Six talks, each built to leave with something done.

Every session is customised after the discovery call. Formats are a starting point — several of these run as either a keynote or a longer working session.

01

Journaling · Leadership

Capture Your Voice

Journaling is the foundation of clarity, confidence and leadership — and it matters more, not less, as machines do more of our thinking. Drawing on his years as a professional athlete, CFP®, founder and author of 4th & Goal, Jed challenges audiences to stop consuming and start creating: capture your voice, own your story, and turn everyday experience into long-term advantage.

  • A journaling practice you can keep for the rest of your career
  • How to turn experience into a story worth telling
  • Why your voice is an asset — and how to protect it
Keynote
02

Mindset

Be A Pro

What does it actually mean to be a pro? This is a deep dive into the three traits that separate the good from the great. Silence the inner critic and build unshakeable confidence. Earn ironclad trust by learning to measure your relationships. Engineer the kind of value that makes your name the one people remember.

  • Confidence: quieting the critic
  • Trust: how to measure a relationship
  • Value: becoming the name they remember
Keynote
03

Business · NIL

I Am a Business, Athlete

This session introduces the Business Athlete: the responsibility and the opportunity that come with being the product, the brand and the business at once. Together we compare entity structures, work out when an LLC makes sense, and set up the five foundational accounts every business needs.

  • What being a business really means
  • Choosing the structure that fits
  • The five foundational accounts
Workshop
04

Business · Relationships

Your Athlete A-Team

How do you find an agent? What about an advisor, an accountant, an attorney, an advocate? Each of these people is directly connected to you and your business, and each has a vital role in helping you capture your dream. This talk shows you how to find them, vet them and hold them accountable.

  • The five seats on your A-Team
  • Questions to ask before you hire anyone
  • How to keep the team accountable to you
Keynote or workshop
05

Mindset

Reframe F.A.I.L.

Stop letting the fear of failure paralyse you. This is not about avoiding mistakes — it's about mastering them. A radical reset on how you see setbacks, turning FAIL from a final verdict into a First Attempt In Learning. Unleash the innovator, quiet the self-doubt, and get comfortable with the long game of growth.

  • A working definition of failure you can use
  • Thirteen cuts: what each one taught
  • A reset ritual for the next setback
Workshop
06

Cash management · Paycheck choices

Money Buckets

Cash management is how a business keeps control of its plan — and you are a business. Build a cash-management system, name your opportunity costs and habits, calculate your Money Bucket choices, and set up a Portfolio Paycheck inside a brokerage account.

  • A cash-management system you can run in ten minutes a week
  • Opportunity cost, made visible
  • Setting up the Portfolio Paycheck
Workshop

Who it's for

Rooms Jed knows how to read.

  • Professional athletes

    NFL, MLB and NWSL rooms; NIL programs for college athletes.

  • Workforce development

    Sales floors and leadership teams that want behaviour change, not a pep talk.

  • Associations and conferences

    A keynote that event planners hear about for months afterwards.

  • Financial services

    Commission-based and high-income professionals who advise on money and rarely talk about their own.

  • College students

    Clubs, classes and Greek life — where Money Vehicle started.
