Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling singer/songwriter John Ondrasik, better known by his stage name Five for Fighting, offers audiences an intimate evening of storytelling, humor, and great music. He offers insights on the creative process and innovation from someone who’s lived it and done it while sharing stories and playing some of his most famous songs – like “100 Years,” “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” “Chances,” “The Riddle,” “Freedom Never Cries,” and “What If.” He also covers themes like learning from failure, work ethics, relationships, and teamwork. As the vice president of Precision Wire Products, a third-generation family-owned business, he also has ready ties to real business challenges. Ondrasik loves speaking and performing at corporate events and has done many with his band Five for Fighting, with a string quartet, as a solo artist (piano and guitar), and as a keynote speaker. He has lectured at a TEDx event, spoken at colleges, and in other motivational settings.
