Dr. Denise Glasper - Dr. Glasper, owner founder of Revive Dental, and leader of the “Teach Me Dental” movement, is redefining the way people understand and treat their dental health. A fierce advocate for the practice of comprehensive dentistry, Dr. Glasper believes that too often patients approach the care of their mouths separate from the care of rest of their bodies. For over 20 years, Dr. Glasper has been empowering her patients to advocate for their health through her comprehensive and “wholistic” approach to dentistry. Her philosophy of treating the whole patient, coupled with her open communication and complete patient education, has transformed her patients and audiences into savvy, informed, health-conscious decision makers. Dr. Glasper's passion for treating the whole patient was fueled early on when she found that her own mother suffered from advanced gum disease and performed extensive treatments on her after her previous dentists neglected to offer that level of care. Dr. Glasper has been chosen to be a Co-Host for the Wellness 101 TV show in development, scheduled to begin airing in 2016.

Steve Dannenmann - Steve is a CPA and professional poker player who won more than $4 million in the World Series of Poker. A Brooklyn Park H.S. grad, he will talk about standing on this exact stage over 30 years ago and graduating high school...how working and going to college to set yourself up for success is a reachable goal... how financial wellness allows you other opportunities in life to share with family friends and community....how he started his CPA firm 25 years ago just out of college and having the goal of not just success for himself but financial success/wellness for his tax clients. This wellness allowed him to afford to play in the world series of poker with over 5600 participants and no real poker experience. He wrote a list of rules that he wanted to follow for the tournament and stuck to it, reviewing it every 2 hours during that 7 day journey. That wellness plan was one of the reasons for his success. Says Steve, "In life you need a plan to reach your goals and to stay on target. We write a list for holiday presents and grocery shopping but most of us have no written plan for our daily/monthly budget, college funding for our children and most important, retirement planning."
Mike Jones - My fitness and mental transformation began at the age of 6 years old following in my dads footsteps. Later in life my mom encouraged me to pursue my dreams and never give up, no matter what. Well, I graduated from Wilde Lake High school in 1991 and then attended Howard Community College, Baltimore City Community College and Catonsville Community College where I studied Criminal Justice . Beginning in 1994, I was blessed to serve as a Baltimore City Police Officer, Howard County Police Officer and now a Sergeant with the Maryland State Police. I've endured 20 years of rigorous physical and mental transformation to mold me into the man I am today..
Both of my parents continued to tell me that I had a calling on my life. During the beginning of my fitness and mental transformation, I didn’t realize my parents were spiritually equipping me for the highest calling in physical fitness. After 20 years of serving others and working out, I realized what my calling was. As my parents secretly declared and continuously reaffirmed that I had a gift, I was ready to accept my calling and do something with it. My parents saw my transformation step by step. Jokingly, my parent’s called me the Minister of Law Enforcement. Something clicked in my mind, and suddenly my transformation was now a reality. I thought to myself, connecting a physical workout with a spiritual workout was now my mission. My transformation was now focused on building the Temple; body, mind and soul. My body is the Temple, my mind is the door and my soul is the key.
Matthew 6:22 tells us, the eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Thanks to my mom and dad who are with the Lord now, they saw what God already destined for my future. To help transform his people not only physically, but spiritually as well.
Lester Everett Lyles - Wellness Educator and former NFL cornerback/strong safety who played for the New York Jets, Phoenix Cardinals and the San Diego Chargers. Using food as his medicine, the internet as his classroom, and the wisdom of the Universe as his teacher, Lester-Everett Lyles, a dynamic life and fitness coach, and energetic public speaker, educates and encourages others to achieve their “natural-balance potential” by understanding how to nourish their “Health-and-Wellness-IQ-Quadrant”.
