In 2012, Craig Stanland made a choice that cost him everything: his career, his marriage, his homes, his cars, and even his will to live.

His actions led to a two-year federal prison sentence and the unraveling of the life he'd built.

But hitting rock bottom wasn't the end. It was the beginning.

Craig is now a keynote speaker, reinvention architect, TEDx speaker, and author of Blank Canvas: How I Reinvented My Life After Prison, a memoir recognized by James Altucher as one of the most impactful hybrid books ever written, placing it alongside some of the world’s most influential best-sellers and book recommendations.

He helps individuals and organizations unlock potential by sharing his raw, powerful journey from corporate success to federal prison to a life defined by creativity, authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment.

Through his work, Craig reveals invaluable lessons on resilience, personal growth, and the art of reinvention, proving that it's never too late to rebuild, reimagine, and thrive.

His insights have been featured in The Good Men Project, Addicted 2 Success, Tiny Buddha, Intelligent Change, Brainz Magazine, and The Altucher Report.

When he's not on stage or writing, you'll find Craig hiking, paddle boarding, attending car shows, relaxing at the beach, or hanging out with his three special-needs cats.
