Jason Blyth is an Australian keynote speaker and youth advocate whose life reads like a Hollywood script.

Born into chaos after his mother was sexually assaulted, Jason’s early years were marked by abuse and neglect. By two he was in psychological care after his mother attempted to take his life. Between the ages of two and fifteen he saw nearly twenty clinicians, begging for help and pleading to be removed, yet he was never taken away. The systems designed to protect him failed.

Raised in severe physical, emotional and sexual abuse, Jason left home at fifteen and quit school at sixteen. Yet even amid hardship, his capability was undeniable. He became an international athlete, winning multiple national titles, earning international medals and placing Top 10 at the Junior World Championships. As a musician, he featured on a track with Ludacris and recorded with world-renowned producers behind Linkin Park, Macy Gray and Snoop Dogg. His discipline and creative force were forged in adversity.

Years later, sitting alone in rehab on his thirtieth birthday, the life he had built collapsed. The past he had outrun finally confronted him. Facing a future that looked like prison or death, he reached his defining moment. No one was coming to save him. He realised he could not change his past, but he could decide his future. If his life was to be different, he would have to reclaim the pen and write a new ending.

Today, Jason moves entire rooms as one. Through carefully crafted disruption, his keynotes bring audiences to a decisive moment of choice, challenging them to raise their standard and take ownership of their lives. His work is engineered for multiplied impact, creating transformation that extends far beyond the stage.

Regularly featured on podcasts and in media, Jason is recognised for his depth of insight, which he credits entirely to the life he lived. After securing a historic abuse settlement with the New Zealand Government, who formally acknowledged their failure in duty of care, he committed himself to systemic reform so children are protected and given the safety he was denied.

Jason Blyth stands at the intersection of personal responsibility and systemic change.

He did not escape his past.  He mastered it.  And now he calls others to do the same.
