🎤 Introducing @atlas_aultman | @tedxsouthlake 2026

We’re proud to introduce Atlas Aultman as one of our speakers at TEDx Southlake.

Atlas is a retired U.S. Air Force officer, author, and lifelong servant whose career has taken him across 30 countries, through multiple command roles, and into some extraordinary moments of service — including serving as a personal aide to the President of the United States and supporting Special Operations in Afghanistan.
He is a recipient of two Bronze Star Medals and multiple honors for leadership, technology, and innovation. But what makes Atlas’s TEDx story especially meaningful isn’t simply what he has accomplished. It’s the journey of who he became along the way.
His story is a personal exploration of identity, honor, and transformation, and a reminder that who we become isn’t simply determined by what others call us. It is shaped by what we choose to honor, embody, and grow into.

We’re honored to have Atlas bring his story and perspective to the @tedxsouthlake stage.

Someone may need the story you’re still afraid to share.

During my conversation with Atlas Aultman on the International Podcast Awards Podcast, we talked about the heart behind Dare to Dream with Eyes Wide Open: recognizing your potential, taking responsibility for your next step, and finding the courage to move forward.

But the part I hope stays with you is this: your willingness to be vulnerable could help someone else find strength.

It can feel uncomfortable to share what you’ve lived through. You may wonder whether your words matter or whether anyone will understand. Yet someone facing a similar struggle may hear your story and finally feel less alone.

If it helps even one person, that matters.

Thank you, Atlas, for the conversation and the opportunity to share this message.

What is one dream you’re ready to take a step toward?

Ever felt like you're just trying to ride the bull in leadership? 🐂

Drop a comment if you've been there!

Leadership is a wild ride, and sometimes you just have to hop on and see how long you can hold on. I remember my first time introducing myself in a meeting, and the guy running it said, "This is my first time too, so let’s do this like a rodeo!"

Mistakes will happen, but the key is to learn from them. Accountability is everything. Instead of saying, "I didn’t know," embrace those moments as learning opportunities.

As you grow, remember to share those lessons with others. Ask your team, "What did you learn?" and help them navigate their own rodeos.

Let’s keep the conversation going! What’s a lesson you’ve learned in leadership?

A 171K-subscriber podcast host asked me what I'd tell my younger self.

At 18, I got jumped in a bar and had no idea what to do. That night put me on the path I'm still on: martial arts, communication, and figuring out what it means to be a good man.

The lesson that took me longest? Being weak is strong. Letting people in didn't make me less of a man. It made me a better one.

And I'd point him to faith. Trusting in Christ is the part of becoming a better person that almost nobody talks about.

I unpacked all of it with @atlas_aultman on @targeted_podcast Targeted - How to become a Top 1% Communicator, My Best Selling Book, My Viral TEDx Talk, The man who earned his jiu-jitsu black belt while going through cancer treatment and why "toxic" is in quotes on my book cover.

Full episode: link in bio.
