From the Wolf of Wall Street to ethics expert, sales speaker Jordan Belfort has led an extraordinary career. An engaging and inspiring motivational speaker, Jordan Belfort proves that there are no shortcuts to true success.

Jordan Belfort is one of the world’s leading authorities on ethical sales growth. Unlike most, Belfort speaks from experience gained on both sides of the ethical and legal line.

As a young stockbroker, Belfort pursued profit at any ethical or legal cost. His OTC trading firm, Stratton Oakmont, perfected a pump-and-dump scheme that enriched its owners and defrauded investors. The party ended in 1999 with Belfort’s indictment, ruinous financial penalties, and a 22-month incarceration.

Years later, Leonardo DiCaprio won a Golden Globe for portraying Belfort in Martin Scorcese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. Publications from the New York Times to Corriere della Serra profiled him as a cautionary tale. Meanwhile, Belfort turned his life around in dramatic fashion.

Belfort shared a prison cell with comedian Tommy Chong, who encouraged him to reflect on and write about his experiences. The exercise was a revelation to Belfort, and launched his career as a business ethicist and speaker.

His Straight Line System provides a framework for companies and individuals to define and achieve explosive sales growth, legally and ethically. More than 50 major companies have invited Belfort to serve as a strategic advisor. Through the Jordan Belfort Foundation, he brings his proven framework to young entrepreneurs in underserved communities.

Additionally, after publishing two memoirs of his rise and fall, Belfort returned in 2017 with The Way of the Wolf, a sales guide based on the Straight Line System.
