Maggie Harlow Launches Professional Speaking Venture

Maggie Harlow, CEO of Signarama Louisville Downtown (Louisville, KY) and executive director of the Jack Harlow Foundation, founded by her son, Grammy-nominated rapper Jack Harlow, has announced the launch of her new speaking venture, Maggie Harlow & Associates — a platform for powerful storytelling, bold leadership insights and fresh thinking, according to a press release.

Harlow credits being a contributing writer to Signs of the Times as our monthly “Business of Signs” columnist for helping her find her voice and hone her messaging. She also recently led a webinar on “Secrets of Lead Generation.”

She is now booking speaking engagements through 2026 and is kicking off this new venture with an appearance at the July 29 storytelling championship in Phoenix as one of only three national finalists as reigning Kentucky and Regional storytelling champion.

“My experience in the signage and graphics industry has fueled my passion for leadership and innovation,” Harlow is quoted in the press release. “The signage industry is a very pure form of entrepreneurship; every sign shop is unique because of each individual leader. I hope I’ll have a chance to share my ideas in person to graphics industry groups.”

Harlow’s keynotes are fueled by her experiences raising a unique family, her leadership experiences in business, and the adventures of learning how to raise a superstar rapper son who gets to the top of his game without losing his soul. In her speaking she will address visionary leadership, community and business cultures, and new ways of tackling challenges in life — according to the press release.

Speaking topics include the following:

• Raising a Rockstar: Rock Your Own World
• Finding Permission: The Power to Give Yourself Your Next Breakthrough
• Leadership Mindsets: Discover Your Potential

In addition, Harlow is currently working on her first book, a guide for leaders — coming spring 2026 — to build on sharing the lessons learned from navigating the treacherous waters of parenting kids who aren’t interested in following the typical path all while building one of the premier locations for the Signarama franchise.

Maggie’s next speaking appearance will be at One Southern Indiana’s “Pearls of Wisdom” on Sept. 3.
