"AUTHENTIC, BOLD, & UNFORGETTABLE."
TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIPÂ & TEAM BUILDING KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Helping leaders wreck what's holding them back
so they can rebuild with purpose.
NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Jody Friedman
I've built multiple seven-figure businesses across entertainment, music licensing, and coaching. I've worked as a music supervisor for The Bachelor franchise, spent years at CNN, and produced feature films. On the surface, I was winning. But behind the scenes, I was stuck—living in a version of my life that looked good but didn't feel right.
I was building from pressure, not purpose. And eventually, I had to face the truth: The room I was in… wasn't mine.
That's when everything changed. I tore down the roles, beliefs, and systems that no longer served me and rebuilt from the inside out. That's how the Wreck the Room™ framework was born—a transformational process for breaking out of misaligned patterns and stepping into a life built with intention.
Now, I help corporate teams and leaders do the same—ditch the burnout, reclaim their power, and grow with soul and structure.
Whether your organization is scaling, reimagining its culture, or redefining success, I'll help your people clear the clutter and build the next version of their professional lives—with clarity, courage, and alignment.
Because you can't create your future from inside the wrong room. You've got to wreck it first.
"Jody helps your company, your organization, and your people tear those walls down and take that corporation to the next level."

Why I Do This
I didn't grow up with a roadmap for building wealth—or fulfillment.
Like a lot of us, I learned the hard way. Through burnout. Through chasing metrics that didn't matter. Through building a life that looked good on the outside but felt misaligned on the inside.
Eventually, I wrecked that version of my life—and rebuilt with clarity, purpose, and peace.
And once I figured out how to create a business that supported both freedom and fulfillment, I realized something:
Most leaders don't need more strategies. They need a clearer path—and someone to guide them through it.
Now, I speak to organizations whose people are done shrinking to fit roles that no longer serve them. For teams ready to stop guessing, stop burning out, and finally build a culture that reflects who they really are.
I do this work for my audiences. I do it for my family. And I do it for every version of me that didn't know this was possible.
