Joey Stutson

What do you do when success still leaves you burned out, bored, or unfulfilled?

That’s the question Joey Stutson helps leaders answer.

Joey Stutson is a combat veteran, an LSU National Championship football player who was featured in USA Today, and a leadership development expert who equips audiences with real-life inspiration to thrive at work and in life. As an author and corporate trainer, Joey has walked with leaders in the boardroom, the battlefield, and the locker room—helping them find strength in adversity and purpose in their everyday challenges, as he is also a father of six children, married since twenty-one years old after his first deployment to Iraq as a freshman.

Drawing from his upcoming book Real Life Leadership, Joey shares powerful stories and high-performance practical lessons that move people beyond burnout and boredom toward lasting Subjective Well Being (SWB) and fulfillment in life.

His message blends resilience, authenticity, and inspiration, empowering leaders and teams to not only succeed but to enjoy the chase of success and significance.

Audiences leave with strategies they can immediately apply: building resilience, growing through hardship, and leading in ways that people love to follow. Joey delivers energy, relatability, and transformational insights that cross generational, cultural, and organizational lines—making him a trusted voice for leaders who want more than motivation; they want real-life inspiration in personal and professional lives.

Many people communicate, few connect

Joey Stutson brings a rare ability to do both. With experience as a lead pastor speaking weekly to large congregations and as a military chaplain addressing soldiers in high-stakes environments, Joey knows how to engage hearts as well as minds. One unscripted TikTok clip of him motivating soldiers went viral, shared over 100,000 times, proving the power of authentic connection. That moment inspired Joey to write about the boredom, burnout, and breakdown leaders often face, offering real solutions that help people rediscover fulfillment and inspiration in their work and lives.
