Real Conversation. Real Impact. Real Connection.

When you bring CommonX to your event, you’re inviting honesty, courage, compassion, and real-world experience. We deliver high-energy, engaging, and thoughtful speaking sessions built around connection, culture, resilience, leadership, and the human experience.

From service members to creatives, from community groups to corporations — we speak from the heart, and we speak with purpose.

What We Speak About

Mental Health & Resilience

Honest conversations about burnout, anxiety, depression, fear, and the path forward.
No corporate buzzwords. Just truth.

Veterans & Service Member Support

Transition, trauma, unity, and how communities can support those who served.

Music, Culture & Generational Identity

How Gen X shaped culture — and how the next generation can learn from its grit.

Leadership & Communication

Practical communication strategies, conflict resolution, and leading with authenticity.

Fitness, Discipline & Lifestyle Transformation

Real life, real battles, real change. Ian’s personal transformation story hits hard.

Community Building & Movement Creation

How to build grassroots unity and purpose — like the Woodstock 2030 Revival.

Who We Are

Ian Primmer

Ian Primmer is the definition of real.
A Pacific Northwest native, a blue-collar warrior, a creator, a musician at heart, a husband, a father, and a man who rebuilt himself from the inside out when most people would have folded. His voice is raw because his life has been raw — he doesn’t sugarcoat the struggle, he doesn’t hide behind filters, and he doesn’t pretend to be perfect.

Ian climbed out of burnout, self-doubt, and physical exhaustion by choosing discipline every single day — getting up at 4:30 AM, grinding through workouts when nobody was watching, reinventing his health, and transforming his life with nothing but grit and consistency. His story isn’t inspirational because it’s pretty — it’s inspirational because it’s honest.

Professionally, Ian is the co-creator and co-host of the CommonX Podcast — a platform built on truth, connection, and the courage to have difficult conversations. The show is a place where veterans, musicians, creators, community leaders, and everyday people can have real talks about the things that actually matter.

Ian has interviewed:

  • Military leaders

  • Former CIA operatives

  • Music legends

  • Viral creators

  • Community activists

  • Thought leaders across multiple fields

  • Actors, and media personalities

But what makes him a powerful speaker isn’t who he talks to — it’s how he listens.
Ian’s gift is disarming people with authenticity. He brings a room together because he speaks from lived experience, not a script.

When Ian speaks, audiences walk away with:

  • a renewed belief in themselves

  • a sense of resilience

  • connection

  • clarity

  • hope

  • motivation that sticks

Ian delivers a message that hits the heart and wakes up the mind.
