American Speedskater, 1994 Winter Olympics Gold Medalist Dan Jansen American Speedskater, 1994 Winter Olympics Gold Medalist Dan Jansen is an iconic figure in the world of speed skating, known not only for his incredible athleticism but also for his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. By the time of the 1994 Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Jansen had already established himself as one of the sport's greatest competitors, with seven overall World Cup titles and seven world records to his name. However, his Olympic journey had been marked by heartbreak and disappointment. Jansen’s first Olympic appearance came in 1984, where he finished a heartbreaking fourth place in the 500m. He returned in 1988 as one of the favorites, but tragedy struck on the morning of the 500m event when his sister, Jane, passed away from leukemia. Despite the personal loss, Jansen attempted to race but fell in both the 500m and the 1,000m, leaving him empty-handed. In 1992, Jansen once again entered the Olympics as a favorite, but despite his skill, he could do no better than fourth place in the 500m and 26th in the 1,000m, further deepening his Olympic frustration. As he entered the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Jansen was the overwhelming favorite in the 500m event. However, in a cruel twist of fate, he slipped during his race and finished eighth, yet again falling short of an Olympic medal. At that point, Jansen had competed in seven Olympic events over the span of a decade without securing a single medal. But Jansen's story was far from over. His final chance for Olympic glory came in the 1,000m event, where six of his opponents had better times. Despite the odds, Jansen skated with remarkable focus and determination. He was on world-record pace when he stumbled during the penultimate turn. With incredible composure, he steadied himself and surged forward, ultimately crossing the finish line in 1:12.43, setting a new world record and winning his first-ever Olympic gold medal. Jansen’s triumph in Lillehammer was not just a victory in speed skating but a testament to the power of perseverance, turning years of heartbreak into an unforgettable moment of redemption.

Bestselling Author, Researcher, Entrepreneur and Business Adviser Michael Treacy Bestselling Author, Researcher, Entrepreneur and Business Adviser Michael Treacy is the President and founder of Treacy & Company, bringing over 30 years of experience in helping companies achieve market leadership. His ideas on customer value propositions and growth disciplines have been utilized by companies around the world to reshape strategies, strengthen competitive positions, and dramatically improve both top- and bottom-line performance. Mr. Treacy’s insights are shaped by his rich experiences as an academic at MIT, an advisor to some of the most successful firms of the past decade, and an entrepreneur who has founded and led several successful companies. Throughout his career, he has overcome nearly every obstacle to achieving exceptional company performance and building extraordinary firms. Michael Treacy’s books have earned international recognition. In the 1990s, he introduced the concept of gaining a competitive advantage through value leadership in The Discipline of Market Leaders , a New York Times bestseller. This book outlines the principles of leadership in a competitive marketplace, emphasizing an unmatched customer value proposition delivered through a unique operating model design. These principles have been adopted by many companies, large and small, to drive their business strategies and create competitive advantages. A decade later, in Double Digit Growth , a Business Week bestseller, he demonstrated how rapid, steady, and profitable growth can be intentionally achieved. Now, Mr. Treacy’s radically different thinking continues to lead the way, helping leaders assess global opportunities and navigate an unprecedented globalizing marketplace. This market landscape presents an assault from upstart competitors who are smart, motivated, and take the long view. With the size of the global middle class set to triple, driven by rising standards of living across the globe, this demographic represents the opportunity of a lifetime.

3 Time Super Bowl Champion, cutting horse competitor, competed in '84 Olympic trials as a decathlete, dog & horse enthusiast Jay Novacek 3 Time Super Bowl Champion, cutting horse competitor, competed in '84 Olympic trials as a decathlete, dog & horse enthusiast Jay was an all-state track and field, basketball and football star at Gothenburg, Nebraska, High School where his father Pat coached him. An All-America at Wyoming, Novacek averaged 22.5 yards per catch on 33 receptions as a senior in 1984. He finished his collegiate career with 83 catches for 1,536 yards and four touchdowns, including an 83-yarder. The University of Wyoming record holder in the decathlon and pole vault, Novacek won the Western Athletic Conference championship in the decathlon in 1984. He also competed in the decathlon at the 1984 US Olympic Trials. In 1985 Novacek was a sixth-round draft pick by the Cardinals and played mainly on special teams as a rookie. Dallas signed him as a Plan B free agent from Phoenix in 1990 after he caught 81 passes for 1,048 yards and eight touchdowns with the Cardinals from 1987-1989. Jay Novacek is considered the most prolific pass catching tight end in Cowboys history. His career with the Cowboys spanned from 1990 to 1996. Between 1990 and 1995 no other National Football League tight end caught more passes (339) and only two had more yards receiving (3,576) than the Cowboys’ Jay Novacek. During that time, he made five consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl, the only tight end in club history to achieve that, and in 1993 was named Tight End of the Year by the NFL Alumni Association. Jay ended his career with four 100-yard receiving games as a Cowboy. His reliable hands also served Dallas kickers well as the holder for field goals and extra points. Jay was also a member of the Cowboy’s teams that won Super Bowl XXVII in 1992, Super Bowl XXVIII in 1993 and Super Bowl XXX in 1995. A Dallas Cowboy on the field and a real cowboy off the field, in 1991 Jay won the team event and had the highest individual score in the NFL National Cutting Horse Association Super Stakes, which matched a top cutting horse professional with an NFL player. He followed that with a third place showing in the 1992 competition before coming back to win the 1994 title. He also participated in a celebrity cutting horse competition to benefit the Texas A&M’s Children Therapeutic Program. Jay founded The Nova Center, a non-profit Christian Ministry of Christ the King Covenant Church which is dedicated to helping individuals and their families who are battling clinical depression, other debilitating conditions, and funding the building of the Nova Wellness Center.

Chief Evangelist at Canva, Former Brand Ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, Former Chief Evangelist at Apple Guy Kawasaki Chief Evangelist at Canva, Former Brand Ambassador for Mercedes-Benz, Former Chief Evangelist at Apple Guy Kawasaki is an innovation keynote speaker, social media expert, chief evangelist of Canva, and the bestselling author of The Art of the Start . His engaging talks are packed with insights drawn from his experience in the tech industry, showing audiences how to create innovative products and services using practical techniques. Some of Guy’s clients include Fortune 1000 companies and strategic clients like S&P Global. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1954, Guy grew up in the tough Kalihi Valley neighborhood. His parents, although not wealthy, made numerous sacrifices to provide for their family. His mother was a housewife, and his father worked as a fireman, real estate broker, state senator, and government official, having a long and distinguished career. Guy attended Iolani School, where he received a formative education and credits Harold Keables, his AP English teacher, for sparking his passion for writing. Guy’s career as an author, with thirteen books to his name, would have delighted his teacher, who emphasized the importance of editing. After graduating from Iolani in 1972, Guy went on to Stanford, where he graduated in 1976 with a major in psychology. He initially pursued law at U.C. Davis at his parents’ insistence but left after just a week. The following year, he enrolled in the MBA program at UCLA, which he found more aligned with his interests. His first real job was with Nova Stylings, a fine-jewelry manufacturer, where he learned the vital skill of sales. Guy’s big break came when he joined Apple, thanks to his Stanford roommate Mike Boich. At Apple, he evangelized the Macintosh and played a key role in its success. During this time, Guy met his wife, and he credits Apple as a pivotal point in his life. After leaving Apple in 1987, Guy started a Macintosh database company called ACIUS, which produced the product 4th Dimension . He later transitioned to writing, speaking, and consulting, contributing to MacUser, Macworld, and Forbes. In 1989, Guy co-founded Fog City Software, which created an email product called Emailer and a list server product called LetterRip . By 1995, Guy returned to Apple as an Apple Fellow, during a time when many pundits believed the company was on the brink of collapse. His mission was to maintain and rejuvenate the Macintosh cult. In 1997, he left Apple to start Garage.com , a service connecting angel investors with entrepreneurs. Today, Garage Technology Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage tech companies. Guy continued his entrepreneurial ventures, co-founding Alltop, a website that aggregates RSS feeds and organizes them by topic. He also served as a special advisor to the CEO of Google’s Motorola division in 2013. In 2014, he resurrected the role of "chief evangelist" and joined Canva, an online graphic-design service. At Canva, Guy’s goal is to democratize design, making it accessible for everyone to create graphics for social media, posters, business cards, and more. In 2015, Guy was appointed to the board of trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation to help democratize knowledge. That same year, he was named a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz USA. He has also been recognized for his contributions to technology and innovation, including his role in helping to democratize computers, design, and knowledge.

Currently, he serves as an analyst in the FOX NFL broadcast booth, partnering with play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and veteran reporter Pam Oliver. Johnston's insights and commentary bring depth and expertise to the NFL coverage, blending his years of experience as a player with his sharp broadcasting skills. In addition to his broadcasting career, Johnston continues to make significant contributions to the football world. In 2021, he was named Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the USFL, playing a key role in the league’s successful launch. Following the USFL’s merger with the XFL to form the UFL, Johnston continues in his leadership role as EVP of Football Operations for the newly formed league, overseeing its growth and development. A Storied Football Career Johnston’s broadcasting career began in 2001 when he joined the FOX NFL booth full-time after spending a year as a game analyst for NFL on CBS. Over the years, he has worked with various play-by-play announcers, including Dick Stockton, Kenny Albert, and Kevin Burkhardt, and has teamed up with legendary personalities like Tony Siragusa. In 2008, he had the opportunity to call the BCS Orange Bowl, and in 2009, he was in the booth for the BCS Sugar Bowl between Alabama and Utah. Johnston’s football analysis and deep knowledge of the game have made him a respected voice on both NFL Network’s "Total Access" and his various media appearances, including his radio show, "The Moose Call" , and hosting duties on local TV shows like “Inside the Huddle” . Johnston’s nickname, “Moose,” was given to him by former teammate Babe Laufenberg, and it became a fitting moniker for the durable, powerhouse fullback. His NFL career began in 1989 when he was drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys after a standout college career at Syracuse University. There, he was named an All-American and earned All-Big East honors in 1988 while earning a degree in economics. Johnston was a key contributor to the Cowboys' dominant Super Bowl victories in 1993, 1994, and 1996, cementing his legacy as one of the most dependable and versatile players in franchise history. A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Johnston was known for his ability to block, catch, and rush the ball, finishing his career with 294 receptions for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns, as well as 232 rushes for 753 yards and 8 touchdowns. His career-high of 50 receptions in 1993 remains a testament to his all-around skill set. Despite a career-threatening neck injury in 1997, Johnston played in 149 consecutive games, including the postseason. He made an impressive recovery and continued to play through the 1999 season, but injuries ultimately ended his playing career. Leadership Beyond the Field In 2018, Johnston was named the General Manager of the San Antonio Commanders in the Alliance of American Football League, further showcasing his leadership and football acumen. His role in shaping the team’s roster and operations reflected his vast understanding of the game and his ability to transition into the management side of football. Johnston's legacy is not only defined by his athletic achievements but also by his tireless commitment to giving back to the community. He has dedicated much of his time to charity work, supporting causes such as the Special Olympics, Children's Cancer Fund, Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy Association's Aisles for Smiles, and Literacy Instruction for Texas (LIFT). His philanthropic efforts led to his nomination for the prestigious Whizzer White Humanitarian Award in 1999. A resident of Dallas with his wife Diane, and their children Aidan and Evan, Johnston continues to inspire both on and off the field, proving that his influence in the football world extends far beyond his playing career.

Legendary Hall of Fame Catcher, World Series Champion, Entrepreneur and Author Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez Legendary Hall of Fame Catcher, World Series Champion, Entrepreneur and Author Iván Rodríguez, widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers in MLB history, boasts a staggering 14 All-Star Game selections and 13 Gold Glove Awards, both records for any catcher. But perhaps the most telling statistic of his greatness is his 2,427 games behind the plate—the most by any catcher in major league history, and few have done it with such excellence. Born on November 27, 1971, in Manatí, Puerto Rico, Rodríguez honed his skills in the baseball-obsessed culture of his homeland before signing with the Texas Rangers as a free agent at just 16. By 1991, he was already considered one of the top catching prospects in the game, known for his legendary arm. He made his MLB debut with the Rangers on June 20, 1991, finishing fourth in the Rookie of the Year voting and quickly solidifying his reputation as an elite defensive catcher. In 1992, Rodríguez won his first Gold Glove Award and made his first All-Star Game appearance, beginning a dominant career behind the plate. Offensively, he soon blossomed as well, achieving eight consecutive seasons batting over .300 starting in 1995, while also adding power to his game. In 1999, Rodríguez won the American League MVP after a career year—hitting .332 with 35 homers, 113 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases. He became just the eighth catcher in history to record 100 runs and 100 RBIs in a season. Rodríguez's career took another turn in 2003, when he joined the Florida Marlins for a one-year stint, hitting .297 with 16 home runs and 85 RBIs, leading the Marlins to the postseason. He was named NLCS MVP and helped propel the team to a World Series title. Afterward, he signed with the Detroit Tigers, bringing veteran leadership to a rebuilding team, and in 2004, he led them to a 29-game improvement, winning his seventh and final Silver Slugger Award. In 2006, Rodríguez led the Tigers to the World Series. He spent his final seasons with the Yankees, Rangers, Astros, and Nationals, retiring after the 2011 season with 2,844 hits—the most by any player with at least 50% of their games played as a catcher. Over his 21-season career, he finished with a .296 batting average, 311 home runs, 572 doubles, and 1,354 runs (the most ever by a catcher), along with 1,332 RBIs. In 2017, Rodríguez was elected to the Hall of Fame, solidifying his legacy as one of the greatest players in baseball history. Hispanic BOOKS They Call Me Pudge: My Life Playing the Game I Love
