  • Jia Jiang

    Top Inspirational Speaker, Toastmasters Golden Gavel Winner, TED Talk: 100 Days of Rejection Jia Jiang Top Inspirational Speaker, Toastmasters Golden Gavel Winner, TED Talk: 100 Days of Rejection Jia Jiang is the founder of Rejection Therapy, a platform dedicated to helping individuals and organizations overcome their fear of rejection. Through inspiration, training, and practical products, Jia empowers people to confront and conquer rejection, transforming fear into an opportunity for growth. In 2015, Jia authored the Amazon bestselling book Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection , which became a transformative guide for thousands seeking to break free from the chains of fear. His insightful approach to overcoming rejection also led to one of the most viewed TED Talks of 2017, reaching millions globally. Jia’s journey into the world of rejection began several years after he transitioned from the corporate world to pursue entrepreneurship. His leap of faith, however, met with an expected yet devastating consequence: rejection. This painful but pivotal moment sparked a personal quest to understand rejection, not as a setback, but as a stepping stone. Thus, the 100 Days of Rejection Therapy blog was born, where Jia embarked on a radical challenge: to intentionally seek out rejection every day for 100 days. His experiences shattered the myths surrounding rejection and unveiled a surprising truth: the world is far kinder than we think, and the fear of rejection is often more damaging than the rejection itself. Born and raised in Beijing, China, Jia moved to the United States at the age of 16. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Brigham Young University and a Master of Business Administration from Duke University. His unique blend of entrepreneurial spirit and emotional resilience has made him a sought-after speaker and trainer, helping people and organizations develop a fearless mindset to achieve their goals.

  • Joey Green

    Singer, song writer, performer Joey Green Singer, song writer, performer Joey Green, a Texas native now based in Nashville, has become a household name for his rock ‘n’ roll to soul country rollercoaster ride of a live show, following his breakout success on NBC’s The Voice . Known for his post-Americana sound—a blend of Americana, rock, and country—Joey describes his style as "Americana with a pop sensibility, story songs with banger hooks." His unique genre has earned him a devoted following, especially in Texas, where he has been a mainstay in the live music scene. Joey's musical journey began at an early age, with his first performance at a sixth-grade talent show singing “Duke of Earl.” By his senior year of high school, he had already formed his own band and was performing live around his hometown. Fast forward to today, and Joey has eight albums to his name, with his latest release, "Puttin' It Out There," a 6-song EP that hit the airwaves in May 2022. Other notable projects include "The War" (2015), "Outside the Circle" (2010), and "Vinyl Destination" (2008), alongside several other EPs and live recordings, including “Lo 5” (2013) and "Live at the Whiskey Girl Saloon" (2013). Throughout his career, Joey has had the privilege of sharing the stage with some of country music's most renowned acts, including Eli Young Band, Randy Rogers, Stoney LaRue, Kevin Fowler, Sean McConnell, and Giovannie & the Hired Guns. His Texas Music Takeover international tours have brought him to London, Australia, and Mexico, alongside other celebrated Texas artists such as Pat Green, Cody Canada, Wade Bowen, Koe Wetzel, and Parker McCollum. This year, Joey has been celebrating a major milestone with his #1 hit on the Texas Regional Radio Charts, “Old Timers,” co-written with George Ducas. His EP, "Puttin’ It Out There," has also gained traction with Spotify playlists like ‘New Music Nashville,’ ‘Fresh Finds Country,’ and ‘LA Pop Tunes.’ His music video for “This House Ain’t Big Enough” has garnered national attention, premiering on CMT, Country Rebel, Heartland, and Nashville Country TV, while steadily climbing the "Taste of Country" Top 10 Country Music Video Countdown. Additionally, both of his singles, “Saturday’s Are for the Boys” and “This House Ain’t Big Enough,” continue to chart in the Top 100 on the Texas Regional Radio Charts.

  • Ross Bernstein

    Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ross Bernstein Sports Performance Expert: The Champion’s CODE Ever wonder why certain teams win consistently, whereas others come up short? Ross explains WHY — in an engaging, high energy, and visually entertaining style that’s designed to improve YOUR organization’s productivity, morale, and bottom-line profitability… The best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, Ross Bernstein is an award-winning business speaker who helps companies and organizations perform more like CHAMPIONS. Ross and his books have been featured on thousands of television and radio programs over the past 20 years, including CNN, MSNBC, CBS This Morning, FOX News, Bloomberg, ESPN, Sports Illustrated and the CBC, as well as in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, L.A. Times, USA Today, and Maxim Magazine. Ross’ signature program, “The Champion’s Code: Life Lessons of Ethics & Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World,” is based on more than six years of research that resulted in two critically acclaimed series of sports-business books. The first examines how and why certain teams win world championships; while the other chronicles the unwritten and unspoken rules in the world of sports, or “codes” as they are known, which explores the fine line between cheating and gamesmanship — and the consequences involved when that line is crossed. Ross interviewed more than 1,000 professional athletes and coaches for the six books and along the way he saw some fascinating patterns, metrics and trends develop among certain individuals who possessed a very unique DNA. For these unique individuals, or “champions,” it wasn’t always about winning, it was about following their moral compass in order to play the game the right way — with respect and integrity — in order to achieve success. In his presentation, Ross identifies upwards of 100 unique characteristics and traits that are common among champions, which he then ties into poignant life lessons and inspirational stories that relate back to his client’s event theme and desired learner outcomes. Based largely on the “Good to Great” ideology of how the best companies are able to separate themselves from the rest of the pack through dynamic leadership and extraordinary customer service, Ross’ program reinforces the concept that individuals win games, but TEAMS win championships. Momentum, roles, buy-in, motivation, consistency, sacrifice, trust, chemistry, work-ethic, innovation, karma, and being humble — they’re all a part of what it takes to become the best of the best — a champion both on and off the field. So… who are the champions in your organization? Let Ross customize a keynote (from one to six hours) to kick off your next annual conference, corporate event, or sales meeting — his PASSION and energy is contagious and he’d LOVE to be a member of YOUR team for the day!

Foster Harvard-educated Executive Dealmaker, Resilience Leader, Blind Black Diamond Skier Imagine losing your sight at 21 years old—never seeing another sunset, your spouse, or your children. Now, imagine emerging from that experience with an even clearer vision for life, living more fully and achieving greater success than before. I don’t have to imagine that—that’s my story. While many victims remain trapped by adversity, I chose to become a visionary. After losing my sight, I became the first blind executive to graduate from Harvard Business School’s Leadership Program, developed software that Silicon Valley thought was impossible, and helped generate billions of dollars in business while empowering millions of people worldwide to succeed. Now, I share my journey of resilience and transformation, teaching others how to turn obstacles into opportunities. I teach what I’ve learned: that the overcomer mindset is the key to resilience, success, and achieving beyond your circumstances. I’ve seen firsthand how adversity can be transformed into advantage, and that’s why I say—losing my vision was worth it if it means I can help others find theirs. In my recently published book, Blind Ambition, and through my high-impact keynote and workshop programs, I deliver actionable strategies to individuals and organizations looking to improve their resilience and overcome their challenges.

  • Dat Nguyen

    All-American, Cowboy Legend, and Trailblazer - Defying Odds, Defining Greatness , First Vietnamese American All-Pro in the NFL, Chick-fil-A Franchise Owner Dat Nguyen All-American, Cowboy Legend, and Trailblazer - Defying Odds, Defining Greatness , First Vietnamese American All-Pro in the NFL, Chick-fil-A Franchise Owner (Born September 25, 1975) is a former football player, who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for seven seasons. He played college football for Texas A&M University and earned All-American honors. He played professionally for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and became the first Vietnamese American to be drafted, play, and be recognized as an All-Pro in the NFL. In 2017, he was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. Early Years Nguyen's family left South Vietnam during the fall of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War, and he was born in a refugee center at Fort Chaffee in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He lived most of his childhood in the Gulf Coast town of Rockport, Texas. At Rockport-Fulton High School, Nguyen played middle linebacker and handled punting duties. Nguyen earned All-State honors as a punter. Nguyen was recruited and received scholarship offers from Michigan, UCLA, Notre Dame, Texas, and Florida. Nguyen eventually decided to play closer to home and chose Texas A&M University. College Career Nguyen attended Texas A&M University, where he played for the Texas A&M Aggies football team from 1995 to 1998. He battled the perception that he was too small to play linebacker for as long as he was involved in the game, despite his muscular 5'11", 238-pound frame. Proving critics wrong at an early stage, he finished his college career as the Aggies' career record holder with 51 consecutive starts, 517 career tackles, and a 10.7 tackles-per-game average. His 517 career tackles are a Texas A&M record. He is the only Aggie to ever lead the school in tackles for four consecutive years. It is widely acknowledged that Nguyen was the undisputed on-field leader of the famous "Wrecking Crew" defense, as well as being its most famous and decorated player. In 1995, he was named Southwest Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year. From 1996 to 1998, he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors three consecutive times. In 1997, he was named Aggies MVP. In 1998, he was named a consensus All-American by every awarding publication, won the Bednarik Award for College Defensive Player of the Year, and the Lombardi Award for Outstanding College Lineman. Nguyen was also selected as a finalist for the Butkus Award, eventually becoming first runner-up. Nguyen missed winning the Butkus Award by a single vote out of more than 45 votes cast. It remains to date the closest vote in Butkus Award history. He was named Defensive Player of the Game for the 1998 Cotton Bowl after recording a bowl-record 12 tackles, including three tackles for a loss, and an interception, which he lateraled to a teammate for a touchdown. The Dallas Morning News named him Big 12 Male Athlete of the Year in 1998, and he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in the Big 12 Conference. He also won the Jack Lambert Award in 1998. That same year, Texas A&M won the Big 12 championship game against Kansas State which is to date their last conference title. In 2005, he was named to the Big 12 Conference's 10th Anniversary Team. In 2010, he was voted on to the AP All-Time Big 12 Team tying with former University of Texas player Derrick Johnson for most votes at linebacker (19 out of 20.) Nguyen is generally acknowledged as the best defensive player in Texas A&M football history and one of the greatest defensive players of all time in the history of the Big 12 Conference. In 2004, Nguyen was inducted in the Texas A&M Athletics Hall of Fame. In April 2007, Nguyen was also inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame and the AT&T Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame. On January 9, 2017, the National Football Foundation announced Nguyen was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame, an impressive class that included Peyton Manning, Adrian N. Peterson, Marshall Faulk, Steve Spurrier, and Brian Urlacher. Professional Career - Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys drafted Nguyen in the third round (85th overall) of the 1999 NFL draft, after his status dropped because he was considered small and slow for an NFL linebacker. Nguyen made an impact with the Cowboys from the beginning, leading the team in special team’s tackles (18) as a rookie and becoming the Cowboys' starting middle linebacker in his second season, after Randall Godfrey left via free agency. In 2000, he played 10 games (five starts) and registered 64 tackles, after missing six contests with a sprained knee and losing his starting job to Barron Wortham. The next year, he completed his first full season as a starter and finished with a team-leading 172 tackles. In 2002, while playing against the Houston Texans in the season opener, he suffered a broken wrist that forced him to miss the next eight games. Despite the serious injury, he finished the Texans game with a team-high 11 tackles (one for a loss) and one sack. When head coach Bill Parcells arrived in 2003, he was critical of the linebackers in the Cowboys roster, joking publicly: "If this were the circus, we could fit them all into one of those Volkswagens that 10 clowns climb out of." The next season, he would pay Nguyen a compliment when he said: "He's a football playing dude, that guy. ... You bet he could have played for any of my teams". In 2003, with Nguyen leading the team in tackles, the Cowboys were the second-most effective defense in the NFL and he was selected second-team All-Pro by the Associated Press. In 2004, Parcells implemented his preferred 3–4 defense and Nguyen repeated as the team's leading tackler, but the additional hits he received in this scheme started to affect his health. In 2005, he started the first four games before suffering a neck injury that sidelined him for three games. He returned as a nickel linebacker and played in four more games, before being placed on the injured reserve list on November 28, after the Thanksgiving Day overtime loss against the Denver Broncos. He finished the season with 31 tackles and one sack in eight appearances. Nguyen officially retired from the NFL on March 3, 2006, after a neck injury and knee problems, which hindered his performance, failed to improve. He led the team in tackles three times, in 2001, 2003, and 2004, and amassed 516 tackles in seven seasons, despite missing half of two separate seasons to injury. For his NFL career, he was named to the 2013 class of Texas Gridiron Legends. Coaching Career - Dallas Cowboys In February 2007, Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips announced the hiring of Nguyen as assistant linebackers coach and defensive quality control coach. Along with Phillips' son Wes, Nguyen was the first assistant hired under Phillips. Nguyen left the Cowboys on January 27, 2010. Coaching Career - Texas A&M Nguyen was named the inside linebackers coach at Texas A&M University on February 12, 2010. In Nguyen's first year as the A&M inside linebackers coach, the Aggies went 9–3 in the regular season with wins over nationally ranked Oklahoma and Nebraska, as well as wins over Texas and Texas Tech. This marked the first time in school history that A&M had beaten all four of those teams in a single season. The resurgence of the Texas A&M defense to its former glory as the "Wrecking Crew" and particularly the outstanding play of the linebacker corps has been cited as a major reason for the team's 2010 season success. Nguyen helped cement linebacker Von Miller's status in Texas A&M history by coaching him in the 2010 season, which led to Miller being awarded the 2010 Butkus Award. At the conclusion of the 2011 season, Nguyen retired from coaching at Texas A&M. Personal life Nguyen married his college sweetheart, Becky, and they have three daughters and twin boys. In May 2004, Nguyen was awarded a Golden Torch Award at the Vietnamese American National Gala in Washington, D.C. He was also featured in HBO's Hard Knocks. In 2012, he became cohost with Jason Minnix of an afternoon sports talk program on ESPN in San Antonio. In March 2016, Nguyen accepted an opportunity to become an Owner/Operator of a Chick Fil-A franchise located at Montgomery Plaza in Fort Worth, Texas.
