Keynote Speaker
Jason OchsJackson Hole, Wyoming
A trial attorney who survived the unimaginable — and emerged with a message that transforms how leaders face fear, find truth, and harness hope.
The Story Behind the Message
Meet Jason Ochs
In February 2011, Jason Ochs woke up unable to feel anything below his chest. Lying in a hospital bed, he faced a fear no courtroom had prepared him for — the possibility that his life, as he knew it, was over.
What he found in that darkness became The Vital Principle: hope is not a passive wish — it is a discipline, humanity’s most powerful medicine. That realization fueled everything that came after.
Jason founded Ochs Law Firm in 2012 and built one of Wyoming’s most respected trial practices, recovering over $57 million for injured clients. Having faced the same fear his clients did, he understood their experience in a way few lawyers ever could. Now he brings that hard-won insight from the courtroom to the stage.
