Known worldwide as The Comeback King™, keynote speaker Joe Rivera is the embodiment of resilience, grit, and transformation. Once a seven-figure Wall Street stockbroker, Joe lost everything to addiction and self-destruction before rebuilding his life, career, and purpose with unshakable discipline and faith. Today, he inspires leaders and organizations to see setbacks not as endings, but as powerful catalysts for reinvention.
Joe’s keynotes blend raw storytelling with actionable high-performance strategies, making his sessions uniquely impactful for organizations facing change, adversity, or stagnation. His signature programs, The Comeback Game and Crown Undenied, equip executives and teams with proven tools to rewire their mindset, reignite purpose, and execute at elite levels. More than motivation, Joe delivers activation helping organizations build resilience, strengthen leadership, and achieve sustainable success.
As founder of Reforge Academy and a coach to top performers worldwide, Joe draws from lived experience: overcoming two overdoses, surviving near death, and rebuilding multimillion-dollar businesses. This authenticity makes his message resonate deeply with business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals determined to thrive under pressure.
Book Joe Rivera for your event to empower your audience with the resilience, mindset, and strategies needed to turn setbacks into unstoppable comebacks.
