Brad Lea
Brad Lea is an entrepreneur, educator, and founder of LightSpeed VT, a technology company revolutionizing how training is delivered, measured, and retained. Early in his career, Brad built success in sales and leadership, but fulfillment didn’t come until he shifted his focus from helping himself to authentically helping others succeed. That shift changed everything. What began as mentoring a single minimum-wage employee into a six-figure earner became the catalyst for Brad’s life’s work.
Driven to scale impact, Brad left his job to start a training company — and quickly discovered a hard truth: most training fails not because of poor intent, but because of poor execution. Through years of trial, research, and real-world application, Brad identified what he calls the four keys to effective training: content, repetition, practice, and accountability.
That insight led him to build LightSpeed VT, now regarded as one of the most advanced
interactive training platforms in the world. Using patent-pending technology, LightSpeed VT delivers immersive, video-based training with role-play simulations, real-time reporting, and accountability systems that drive measurable behavior change.
Brad is widely recognized as a leading authority in web-based training, sales performance, and scalable education. His mission remains simple and unwavering: to get the knowledge from the people who have it to the people who need it — because information, when delivered correctly, changes lives.

Carrie Cook
Carrie is a financial strategist, founder, and thought leader who believes that true wealth begins long before the numbers. True wealth begins with identity. With over a decade of experience guiding women entrepreneurs and business leaders through financial clarity,
profit strategy, and sustainable growth, Carrie has witnessed a powerful truth: women do not struggle with money because they are incapable, they struggle because they were never taught to see money as a source of power, choice, and self-trust.
Through her work across small business leadership, fractional CFO services, and wealth strategy, Carrie helps women move from financial survival into intentional wealth building. Her approach blends financial literacy with mindset, emotion, and identity, because money is never just math; it is a mirror. As the creator of multiple women-focused financial education initiatives and leadership communities, Carrie is known for translating complex financial concepts into grounded, empowering strategies that help women step
confidently into their next level of leadership.
Her work centers on one core belief: financial transformation is a form of metamorphosis.
When women learn to understand and direct their money, they do more than increase income. Women expand possibility, reclaim agency, and redefine who they are becoming.
In her talk, Becoming HER: Financial Metamorphosis, Carrie invites women to honor who they’ve been, embrace who they are now, and step boldly into a future where wealth expands alongside who they are becoming.
This is not about money — it’s about who a woman becomes when she stops fearing her own expansion.

Dixie Longate
Dixie Longate hails from Mobile, Alabama where she lives with her three kids who she's almost sometimes ever proud of: Wynona, Dwayne and Absorbine, Jr. She started selling Tupperware as part of the conditions of her parole back in 2001. Within a few years, she became the top selling Tupperware representative in the US. When a friend of hers told her she should turn her living room party into a theatrical show, she laughed so hard at the idea, she almost had to put down her drink.
Dixie's Tupperware Party soon opened off-Broadway in 2007 to both raving fans and great reviews. The show earned Dixie a Drama Desk Award Nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. She lost to Laurence Fishburne. Really. Look it up.
The following year, with plastic bowls in hand, she embarked on a small tour to some theaters in the US. Twelve years later, that tour was still running and had become one of the longest-running off-broadway tours in history.
She will be opening the show this Spring in New York City.
