Resilience Strategist | The 115 Miracle | Creator of the M.E.D.S. Protocol™
Long Beach, California
Aaron Jackson is a resilience strategist, keynote speaker, and performance coach who built his framework not in a boardroom — but from a hospital bed. Born with biliary atresia, Aaron maintained his native liver for 36 years while earning a BS in Economics from Florida A&M University and building a career as a Sr. Service Director at Bank of America — managing complex client relationships and earning their Gold Award for top performance. What nobody in that office knew was that while he was delivering results at that level, his body was failing. In a five-week window, Aaron survived two liver transplants, a kidney transplant, and 17 surgical procedures. He relearned to walk. He rebuilt himself from 115 pounds to 185 pounds of muscle. And in his own words: "I stopped being a patient and became an architect." That architecture became the M.E.D.S. Protocol™ — a behavioral performance system built around Mindset, Environment, Discipline, and Spirituality — that he now teaches to corporate teams, clinical organizations, and high-performing individuals who are tired of relying on motivation and ready to build something that lasts. Aaron is a 2025 Liver Health Foundation Courage Award recipient, A3 Certified Patient Advocate through the Global Liver Institute, Silver Medalist at the Transplant Games of America, and black belt at the West Coast World Martial Arts Association. He has been featured in Rare Revolution Magazine, Patient Worthy, and About Transplant Life, and has spoken at the CGU Drucker School of Management, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and national patient advocacy conferences. He speaks nationally on resilience, burnout prevention, long-term performance, and the systems that separate people who survive from people who thrive.

Matthew Bennett: Willow Ethos Matthew Bennett is the Founding Partner of Willow Ethos, a UK business and leadership consultancy based in Bristol. Matthew frequently delivers talks to organisations on culture, leadership, and the future of work. His work focuses on people first, how they behave at work, how they respond when pressure appears, and what shifts when expectations are unclear. Through his advisory work and seminars, Matthew helps organisations understand how these human factors shape performance. Over time he has seen that culture often influences results more than strategy or structure alone. In fast moving environments, culture tends to surface whether organisations expect it to or not. Matthew regularly delivers talks inside organisations where leaders and teams are trying to make sense of change. Sometimes that change is driven by growth, sometimes it comes from leadership change, sometimes it comes through uncertainty. At other times it is harder to define, simply a feeling that something about the organisation is no longer working as it once did. In these settings, Matthew’s coaching focuses on behaviour. He helps audiences recognise the small patterns that shape culture every day, from the conversations people have openly to the ones they quietly avoid (often impacting the psychological safety of people at the company). His approach is designed to create clarity and encourage practical reflection so people leave with ideas they can immediately apply in their work, directly tied with both business outcomes and leadership development. Willow Ethos was co-founded by Matthew and Paul Bennett, his brother, in 2024 after a series of conversations with leaders who felt disconnected from their culture but were unsure where to begin. Willow Ethos is a truly culture driven consultancy for those businesses that need it. The work combines cultural insight with coaching and development so organisations can begin to change how they work in practical ways. Culture is the real power in organisational performance, and the systems and employees shaped around this are key. Through his speaking engagements and ongoing advisory work, Matthew supports leaders and teams over time with sustainable growth rather than offering quick or temporary solutions. Matthew’s work is supported by a strong academic background. He completed an MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford, followed by an MBA with Merit from The Open University. These experiences deepened his understanding of learning, leadership, and how people change over time. They continue to influence the way Matthew Bennett and Willow Ethos speaks about culture and organisational behaviour as an executive coach focused on improving organisational performance. If you need any support with leadership changes, organisational performance, and culture, please bear Willow Ethos in mind for coaching and consultancy as many organisations across the UK have.
