Matt Iseman

“Life is short, do what makes you happy.” That’s the advice that Matt Iseman got from his dad — a world-renowned physician — when Matt quit medicine to pursue stand up comedy, and those words still guide Matt today. Host of the four-time Emmy-nominated American Ninja Warrior and winner of The New Celebrity Apprentice, Matt now tells jokes around the world. As a cancer survivor and someone who lives with rheumatoid arthritis, he also gives his time and support to the Arthritis Foundation and the American Cancer Society, proving that laughter really is the best medicine. At thINK Ahead 2025, Matt will bring his signature comedic style — along with an obstacle course or two — and encourage thINK members to achieve daring feats of strength.
