Exploding from the stage, international keynote speaker, journalist, author and podcaster Randall Kenneth Jones brings his unique brand of high-energy edutainment to recharge your event.

His material comes from his personal brain trust of 300+ celebrities, newsmakers and thought leaders who have taken a seat opposite him over the past eleven years of newspaper columns, books, and podcasts. These sometimes sentimental, often hysterical, always transformative conversations lie at the heart of his interactive presentations and seminars.

Equal parts oration, tutorial, and stand-up routine, Jones intellectually and emotionally challenges audiences of all ages to be more conscientious students of—and teachers to—the world.

"As a speaker, Randy is so happy, fearless, and open. He is quick-witted and downright funny. Time spent with him is guaranteed to make you laugh."

—Erin Brockovich

"Randy can fire up a room in a way that makes everyone feel important."

—Phil Beuth, Former President, GOOD MORNING AMERICA

—Scott Lowe, Market CEO, Physicians Regional Healthcare System

Ruby

Cynthia Grant arrives in posh Savannah Valley, searching for purpose and a new life. When she accidentally encounters her new neighbor Ruby, the winds of change go into overdrive.

A woman of untold mystery, Ruby’s almost effortless impact on the magic of Christmas is a spectacle to behold. She opens hearts as quickly as she opens wallets in her affluent Georgia community. Ruby’s influence on wondering, wandering Cynthia leads to a whirlwind of activity that transforms not only Cynthia but everyone she touches.

From newspaper publisher Derek and devoted-sister Janice, whose secrets define and refine them, to attention-starved Paula, merry-widow Etta, and insightful Streep, a singularly focused film buff in search of the ultimate Meryl Christmas, Ruby and Cynthia deliver astonishing results.

With spirits, angels, messengers, and boundless imagination alongside mystery, whimsy, speculation, and a search for truth, Ruby tempts even the most hard-hearted naysayer to believe in believing again.

Show Me

It's a Story for the Ages…

Boy does well. Boy teeters on midlife crisis. Boy moves to Florida, becomes a newspaper columnist and enlists the help of Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Brian Boitano, James Carville, Barbara Corcoran, Jack Hanna, Heloise, Magic Johnson, Shirley Jones, Sue Monk Kidd, Kathy Griffin, Hoda Kotb, Rob Marciano, Tyler Mathisen, Mary Matalin, Colin Mochrie, Suze Orman, Dr. David Perlmutter, Willard Scott, Vanessa Williams and almost 100 more to show him how to get his mojo back.

Show Me is a result of over 50 years of research: 50-plus years of living a life, ten years of journaling about that life, and four years as a columnist writing about people who, at one time, Jones assumed lived a better life than he did. In his battle against time, short attention spans, and emotionally bereft modern technology, Jones wages an editorial war against pessimism by waving his journalistic flag in the promotion of creative thinking, positive communication, innovation, authenticity, respect and LAUGHTER.

Now, with the help of his treasured gallery of informants—starting with the influencers from his days as a showy-yet-sensitive, bunny-fearing Mid-Missouri youngster to his exploration of modern-day success—family man, entrepreneur and humorist Randall Kenneth Jones hopes to SHOW YOU what all of these extraordinary people so graciously SHOWED HIM.

Show Me showcases how to learn from your past, embrace your present, grow personally and professionally, laugh at yourself, and banish mediocrity—by listening, learning and respecting the never-ending balance between ambition and tradition.
