Keynote & business speaker
Nate Jones speaks to conferences, sales teams, and company rooms about building something from nothing — from inside a company that is still open, still hiring, and still getting things wrong.
Sixty-seven minutes from the stage at Launch Fishers, including the audience Q&A. The first half is how the business got built; the second is the playbook it runs on now. If you are deciding whether this is the right room, this is the video that answers it.
Most speakers describe a business they used to run. These are current, and their problems are this quarter’s.
CEO
A specialty insurance agency licensed in 48 states, still run day to day.
Licensed in 48 states — verifiable against NPN 19887690. Revenue, growth and headcount are Nate’s own figures, floored rather than rounded up, current as of 2026-08.
CEO
Back-office support for contracting businesses — a second company with its own customers and its own problems.
An audience can verify most of this before the introduction finishes. That is the whole reason it is listed.
Two short books, written for the person deciding whether to start something or buy something. They are here as evidence the thinking is written down, not as a shop.
On finding and starting a business — written for someone deciding whether to go, and what to go into.

The date, the audience, and what the session has to do. Approximate is fine — the first reply is more useful when it is not a form letter.
