WHAT FLOW STATE MEANS TO MEJon Cheney
Your thinking speeds up. The world slows down.
I've kayaked rivers around the world for more than 20 years. In the middle of a Class V rapid, chaos and danger are still all around me. But in Flow State, my thinking speeds up and the world seems to slow down.
I'm aware of what's around me, still driving in the right direction, and ready to adjust when things don't go as planned. I don't have to consciously think through every move. When I've trained well enough, I react.
Awareness. Direction. Adaptability.
Leadership asks for that same awareness, direction and adaptability. Markets move faster, capital is pickier and AI is changing how work gets done. You need more than a fixed plan. You need a thinking partner who has been in the chair—someone to help you prepare, make the call and adjust as things change.
I've founded and sold multiple companies. I founded Seek and served as CEO for about seven years, raised more than $15 million from nearly 100 investment groups over my career, and built enterprise partnerships. Ocavu, which I led, ranked No. 643 on the 2022 Inc. 5000.
My company-building experience includes Utah’s Startup of the Year and Most Innovative Company of the Year recognition, Best in Show at NAB, and many first-place pitch competition wins, including Sprocket—with tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. I've also had companies fail and pivoted when the market said no. Those lessons matter as much as the wins.
Today I run GenAIPI, built in a weekend using AI. I regularly speak about human agency in the age of AI and teach hands-on building, with corporate events and training for audiences from Fortune 500 companies to startups.
From pitching on large stages to building with new tools, I'm still doing the work. That's the candid perspective I bring—not a generic leadership playbook.
Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi hired me to help put together and launch AI Advantage. I also spoke as part of the launch, with content featuring my contribution reaching more than a million people. Watch my AI Advantage segment with Dean Graziosi.
Coaching focuses on you as a leader. Advisory focuses on a business question: strategy, fundraising, go-to-market or AI. Explore both on the leadership page. Scope and deliverables are agreed directly before work begins.
Is this an AI consultancy?
No. Flow State Leadership is Jon’s coaching, advisory and speaking business. AI can be part of the leadership conversation. For hands-on implementation, explore GenAIPI through the AI leadership page.
