Charles Johnson is an experienced speaker who speaks on the importance of bouncing back by turning failure, pain, struggle, and obstacles into fuel for success. It was always his dream to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Charles is proud to make a difference by inspiring, motivating, and challenging youth and young adults from all walks of life. Charles is his mother's third child. He was born a premature baby. So small in fact that the doctors told his mother that he would not live long. Like many in our country regrettably, he was born into an impoverished home. After repeating multiple grades and attending summer school every year of his middle school and high school career, he was kicked out of his high school not once but twice. He was then sent to the King's Ranch, a boy's home in Alabama. After completing two grades in a year and a half, he finally graduated high school in 2006. He joined the US Army in August 2009 and finished his military career 10.5 years later in November 2019. Charles has experienced many failures and setbacks, all of which are used as teaching tools to educate youth and young adults on the importance of turning failure into success.

At the age of 3, there was a traumatic event in my life. Being predisposed genetically to alcoholism I knew not how to process that event and was in a state of chaotic internal war. At age 12, I drank a quart of beer, and the chaos went away. For 30 years I chased that sense of “normality” that could only be found in bottles, pipes and syringes. For 10 years before I got sober, I found heroin. Heroin worked every time. It also alienated literally everyone from my life. I am now a drug counselor and doctoral student. I believe, addressing the "WHY" is missing in our recovery models. Through my research I believe there is a way to minimize relapse. I hope to make a difference.

My name is Tye Glover, and I teach people how to Think DIfferently using my Creative Juices (CJ) methodology, which is a series of exercises and lectures designed to introduce the listeners to the rules that govern how humans identify creative ideas. I have developed a unique program that examines how people "CREATE" by capturing experiences using our five+ basic senses. I call this proprietary process Neuro Creative Programming because it leverages the same basic senses used within Neural Linguistics Programming, just differently.
