Chad Hymas

In 2001, at the age of 27, Chad’s life changed in an instant when a 2,000-pound bale of hay shattered his neck, leaving him a quadriplegic. But Chad’s dreams were not paralyzed that day—he became an example of what is possible.
Chad is a best-selling author, president of his own communications company, and recognized world-class wheelchair athlete. In 2003, Chad set a world record by wheeling his chair from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas (513 miles).

The Wall Street Journal calls Chad Hymas one of the 10 most inspirational people in the world!

Chad’s speaking career in the areas of leadership, team building, customer service, and mastering change has brought him multiple honors.

He is one of the youngest ever to be inducted into the prestigious National Speaker Hall of Fame.

Ty Bennett

At age 21, Ty and his brother Scott started a direct sales business which they built to over $20 million in annual revenues.

He was featured as one of the Top 40 Under 40 and dubbed one of the 10 Coolest Entrepreneurs in Utah.
Ty decided to follow his passion into the speaking world and started Leadership Inc.

Ty’s best-selling books – Partnership is the New Leadership, The Power of Influence and The Power of Storytelling – are used in graduate courses at multiple universities including MIT, as today’s version of “How to Win Friends and Influence People.”
