Max Partain | Emmy Winning Speaker Reel Strategist & Editor

Stepping into 2026 pushing with purpose. This is the full speaker reel that is a snippet of the message I am bringing into rooms and stages in 2026. I speak to leaders, teams, and organizations navigating uncertainty, pressure, and personal responsibility. You may not choose your situation, but you always choose how you lead through it. That is what it means to push with purpose. If you are currently looking for a speaker for an upcoming event, I would welcome the opportunity to start a conversation.

2025 was a BIG year on stages and I’m so proud of what’s coming next. This is a sneak peek of my 2026 Keynote Speaker Reel 🎤 The energy. The stories. The moments where people stop waiting and take the FIRST step. I help leaders, teams, and high performers turn uncertainty into momentum physically, mentally, and professionally. From the stage to the pull-up bar, my work is about one thing: doing hard things for the first time.

I did a thing… (excited to finally share this) After years on stages, things have shifted in me… and in the people I’m speaking to. I was focused on resilience - what we’ve been through, what we’ve overcome, and how that strengthens us. But what I’m seeing now is: People aren’t just dealing with hard things or one big change… They’re dealing with constant change. No pause. No reset. Just ongoing pressure to keep up. So my research and my message shifted. Change isn’t slowing down. The people who succeed (and find a way to enjoy thier big, messy, marvelous lives) are the ones who Get Good at Change. I’ve been testing this with teams and audiences (even at Google!), and it’s hitting in a whole new way. Right now, in this decade, in this moment in history, with constant tech updates and AI, and uncertain politics, and life ‘lifing’... motivation isn’t enough. People need a way to handle what’s coming at them. That’s the framework I’ve created. This is the message I’m all in on. And a very talented editor helped me put together a new ‘Speaker Reel’ to put this out into the world. Super excited to share it and to do this work! Hope you’ll take a moment to check it out.

Our daughters adoption story. Want to cry? Make it to the 1:30 mark. . . I had written an elaborate script about a year ago, that would have taken me days to make that was about this story, and I still might make it, but then recorded this video on her gotcha day../ . . I decided that night that it was time. So from 11pm to 4am, I wept for at least an hour going through old photos and videos of ani during the chaotic guardianship and adoption. . . Thank you to everyone. List of the go fund me at the end.

Speakers: if your reel doesn’t match your fee, this is for you. Friends of speakers: send this to the one person who needs it. A few free 10-second opener edits are open right now.

I wrote a book for keynote speakers! Took me 6 months to write it. PS: I’m not the best editor in the room. But they don’t need to know that. . . It's free. Link in bio.
