Joe Gagnon is driven by a simple mission: helping people realize they are capable of far more than they think is possible. Over the years, he has led six companies as CEO, coached elite performers, and pushed himself to physical and mental extremes, completing six Ironman races, running 100-mile ultramarathons, and finishing six marathons on six continents in six days.

As CEO of Raynmaker, he is building an AI-powered sales platform designed to help small businesses grow smarter and faster. As a high-performance coach, he partners with bold, ambitious leaders to break through self-imposed limits and lead lives of deeper purpose and greater impact.

Joe’s life and his new book, Living Intentionally, are rooted in the belief that growth happens on the edge. It’s in the uncomfortable, uncertain, and transformational moments that we discover who we really are. Every step he takes is guided by the principles of grit, grace, and groundedness. Whether he’s building a company, mentoring a founder, or speaking on stage, his goal remains the same: to inspire others to live intentionally by design, not by default.
