Your story

Jason L. Adkins is a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant who spent nearly 23 years leading people, teams, and missions around the world.

Growing up in a home marked by trauma, abuse, and instability, Jason learned early that circumstances don't have to define a future — a lesson that now anchors his message.

After retiring from the military, he became an award-winning Realtor, author, podcast host, and founder of Ignite Your Fire, a movement helping people find purpose after pain.

In 2026, Jason finished second out of 20 speakers from six countries in Les Brown's global Hungry to Speak competition. Jason holds a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership and speaks nationwide on resilience, leadership, and transformation.
