At just 19 years old, Brandon Farbstein is an internationally renowned empowerment speaker and thought innovator. He embarks on his mission to change the world one person at a time through his captivating talks to audiences ranging from youth, to business professionals, to conferences of 5,000 live. His message has reached over one million people around the world in just two years, including at the Vice Presidential Debate (October 2016) and TEDx Talks. Brandon uses charismatic influence to inspire and motivate, while leaving his audience with a stirring desire to be a catalyst for change. Standing at 3’9”, you will quickly discover how Brandon has transformed the lives of so many individuals across the globe, with a shift in perspective about themselves and others. At the age of 2, Brandon was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism called metatropic dysplasia, resulting in his current height being that of the average seven year old. From day one of his journey, he quickly realized he would need to create solutions for the obstacles that would come his way each day. Whether it was ingratiating himself with key decision makers since he could speak, or, Brandon was able to innovate his own solution and learned to pave his own path in the world. As peers continued to grow in stature and tower over him year after year, Brandon discovered the many struggles he would face in a world that wasn’t designed for him. His battle with depression came to a peak at the age of 11, and the thoughts of ending his journey grew more imminent as the days became more painful. Through an intense support system filled with strength and love, he worked to get out of his own way and continued to live life on his own terms…discovering how impactful it was to give more than you take. Though Brandon was constantly on the stage since the age of 8, he still felt invisible and isolated. That was, until a chance encounter at the airport gate where he and his family were waiting to catch a plane to Miami in October 2014. A woman approached Brandon after being intrigued by his Segway mobility device, and began making small talk. This small talk turned into an hour and 1/2 of discussion on his journey thus far, the various bumps in the road, and what he wanted to do with his life. It turned out this woman was one of the driving forces behind the TEDx movement, and recommended that Brandon give a talk at a TEDx event that would be coming up a few months later. On April 10, 2015, his journey changed forever. He stood on stage in front of nearly 2,000 sets of eyes as himself for the very first time- not playing a character, not having scripted lines. For six minutes, he presented his perspective of empowerment and innovation while telling his story, being vulnerable and authentic. It was in this moment Brandon discovered his absolute passion and purpose on why he is living the life he was given. Those six minutes would soon turn into the rest of his life.

Aamina L. Hennings is a part of an encouraging way to view life in a world that is not always conducive to positive productivity - DNA Generation. The basis of this idea as pertaining to youth of all ages is the fact that no matter what one has been exposed to or no matter what one’s DNA says about their future in today’s society, we all have the choice to break cycles and pursue a life that is one to be personally proud of each day. Aamina was a School Counselor for 9 years and has continued making every effort to help youth outside the four walls of her office. Dedrick Hennings, Aamina’s husband, has encouraged her as she creates/posts videos (Aamina’s Moment on youtube.com), participate in online posts/dialogue that’s encouraging to all who are connected to her on Facebook and Twitter. Aamina’s passion to help today’s youth, in any way she could, began with her experiences of her brother who struggled with addictions all of her life, the 90 days her and her mother spent in a homeless shelter, and the years of living in public housing in Hammond, Indiana. Aamina had a great opportunity to represent Lake County of Indiana as a young participant in the Governor’s Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana. This opportunity allowed Aamina to travel throughout the state to meet with other youth and advocates of a Drug-Free Indiana; this experience was just the beginning of Aamina’s desire to help youth of all backgrounds and lifestyles. After receiving her B.A. in Sociology, M.S. in Education with a minor in School Counseling, and her pursuit for her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, Aamina has a great love to see others succeed in and out of the classroom. The voice of DNA Generation is based on the well-being, success, and motivational aspects of adolescents, teens, and young adults.

Originally a "Seasoned Sysadmin", and by that I mean a sysadmin with a sense of humor?... To summarize I am a passionate sysadmin/people person who is always up for a new challenge. Gateway drug into sysadmin was Linux in the early days of compiling your own Kernel. As thing got complex this led me more into development and to cooking things up with Chef, creating dashboards and automating anything I got my hands on. Living the devops life I ended up replacing myself with tools which led me to more complex systems, People. As a people manager I work with individuals and teams. I continue to apply system thinking into new subset of problems, or in other words, teams are my new microservices. My approach is to concentrate on growing and helping people unlock their potentials. This can be by either by coaching the individual or working on organization development to change the environment.

Award-winning humor author/award-winning children’s author Debbie Roppolo grew up in the Blackland Prairie region of Texas, where miles of grassland and her horse stimulated very imaginative adventures and served as writing fodder for later years. She had to do something with those memories; having tea parties with chickens was too good to keep to herself. She has written for several of the Chicken Soup books in addition to various magazines and newspapers. Her children’s book titles include: Amelia Frump and her Peanut Butter-Loving, Overactive Imagination; Amelia Frump…is Cooking Up a Peanut Butter Storm (award-winning activity/cookbook); He’s My Brother. Shortly after beginning her own family, Roppolo discovered the reason why her mother turned prematurely gray, and that a cell phone, toilets and toddler make a poor combination. Rather than sitting in a corner, whimpering, and eating her weight in chocolate, Roppolo wrote her first parenting humor book, The Toilet is Overflowing and the Dog is Wearing My Underwear, that was based on her family’s antics. The book contains the award-winning essay “Age is a State of Mind—Too Bad I Can’t Find Mine.” Roppolo’s father gave her two important pieces of advice when she was a child: 1. Life was filled with challenges and adversities, but almost anything could be accomplish and overcome as long as she put her mind to it. 2. A sense of humor was important. She realized how valuable her father’s wisdom was when he was killed shortly before her sixteenth birthday, and years later when she was in a near-fatal car accident, the latter ending her dreams of a kinesiology career. Because of her father's teachings, tenacity replaced grief each time, and she overcame the situation--each time a little tougher, more empathetic, and an increase in wisdom. It’s her goal to assist others in overcoming adversity by offering inspiration through her personal stories. After her younger son was diagnosed with autism, Roppolo and her husband co-founded Central Texas Autism Network, a network for persons who may have a relative or friend diagnosed with Autism, or professional that may deal with Autistic persons. She serves as an advocate for people with autism through her writing, by speaking to groups, and spreading awareness as various health-related functions. She is currently the editor-in-chief for a small publishing company. Roppolo has participated in radio interviews, TV appearances, and has had extensive experience with school visits promoting literary awareness and her children’s books. Married for over twenty-four years, she resides in the Texas Hill Country with her husband and two children.
