About speaker

Ian Bowen

Motivational Speaker and Success Coach

In 2009, Ian Bowen's life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis, leading to spinal cord surgery that left him paralyzed from the chest down at just 32 years old. Despite being told he would never run again, Ian defied the odds through sheer willpower and what he calls Positive Persistence. His grueling rehabilitation journey culminated in the creation of the RINSE Methodology: Remember, Imagine, Notice, Shift, and Expect, which he now uses to empower others to overcome their setbacks and challenges. In 2022, Ian achieved the seemingly impossible by running his first marathon. Today, he is a motivational speaker, success coach and the owner of Fit Body Bootcamp in Chesterton, IN. Dedicated to helping others crush limiting beliefs and unlock their potential, Ian's story is a testament to thriving against the odds. He continues to inspire his wife and six children and many others to find their inner strength and step into the next best version of themselves.
