Jimmy Clare is a professional keynote speaker, podcaster, live stream host, and autism advocate who helps schools, colleges, and organizations build more inclusive, resilient, and mentally healthy communities. Event planners book Jimmy when they want audiences to walk away with practical tools for embracing neurodiversity, handling bullying and stress, and turning adversity into fuel for growth.
Born on the autism spectrum and living with a history of bullying, chronic health challenges, and being underestimated, Jimmy knows what it feels like to be counted out. Instead of giving up, he turned to fitness, personal development, and advocacy to rebuild his confidence, health, and sense of purpose. Today he uses that journey to show students, educators, and teams that “different” does not mean “less” and that small daily actions can change a life.
Through his brand CrazyFitnessGuy, Jimmy has shared his story and strategies with listeners and viewers around the world as a podcast host and live stream host. He breaks big topics like autism, mental health, bullying, and resilience into clear, relatable steps that people can actually use the next day. His style is honest and down‑to‑earth, mixing personal stories with concrete strategies that audiences can apply immediately.
Popular programs include:
Autism & Resilience: What I Wish Schools and Workplaces Knew – Helps audiences understand life on the spectrum, reduce stigma, and support neurodivergent people with simple, everyday actions.
From Bullying to Breakthroughs – Explores Jimmy’s experiences with bullying, how it affected his mental health, and how students and staff can build cultures of respect, courage, and allyship.
Wellness Without Perfection – Connects physical health, mindset, and self‑advocacy, showing how small, consistent habits can improve energy, focus, and resilience for students and staff.
Jimmy is a strong fit for school assemblies, college events, student leadership programs, mental health and wellness weeks, disability inclusion initiatives, ERG events, and conferences focused on education, autism, or resilience. He customizes each talk to the audience and can deliver keynotes, breakout sessions, Q&A, and virtual presentations.
Event organizers appreciate Jimmy’s straightforward communication, reliability, and willingness to collaborate on clear outcomes, not just “give a talk.” If you are looking for a speaker who understands autism from the inside, speaks openly about mental health, and models what it looks like to keep going when life gets hard, Jimmy may be a strong choice for your next event.
