Speakers:

Bryce Weiler – “A Chance to Live my Dreams”

College basketball has been an important part in my life. Throughout my journey, I have learned how to overcome challenges and to conquer obstacles. I hope to be able to show others how to live their dreams and let nothing stand in

Paul Medcalf – “Liberia & Lessons Learned that lead to Lyrical Literacy and a Longer Life”

Hear how an entrepreneur is using naval maneuvers in the Midwest through noteworthy networks, to lift up an African country, decimated by civil war for decades, into sustainability.

Joel Nash – “Relinquishing Fears to Enhance Change”

Through the pursuit of soccer dreams, fears were conquered and true purposes realized revealing a deeper core passion for benefiting every environment. Without the sometimes agonizing journey, I never would have achieved such personal fulfillment.

President Kazee – “It’s Good Work”

A useful test of whether a person has made the right vocational choice is if he or she would describe it as “good work.” Dr. Kazee will explore what “good work” means and discuss how such a standard has shaped his own career choices.
