Prior to joining The Oak Ridge Boys in 1972, Richard Sterban sang with various groups, eventually joining J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet, which afforded him the opportunity of a lifetime—the chance to sing with Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll, singing with him every night on stage, recording with him, and appearing in one of his movies (Elvis on Tour). It was during this time in the midst of Elvis’ heyday that Richard was offered the position as bass singer for The Oak Ridge Boys, and he had to make a major decision—remain on the big stage or chase his own dream. The Oak Ridge Boys have one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. Their string of hits includes the pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Y'All Come Back Saloon and many others.

Paul Smith is one of the world’s leading experts on organizational storytelling. He’s one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers of 2018, and the author of three Amazon #1 bestsellers: Lead with a Story (now in its 11th printing, and published in 7 languages around the world), Sell with a Story, and The 10 Stories Great Leaders Tell; in addition to Parenting with a Story and his newest work, Four Days with Kenny Tedford. Kenny Tedford is like a combination of Hellen Keller and Forrest Gump. He was born deaf, partially blind, and unable to speak, like Hellen Keller. But he was also born with a significant learning disability which left him with the cognitive ability of a 10-year-old. As a result, Kenny's one of the most charming and inspiring people you'd ever meet. Despite all those limitations, and being told he'd never finish the 3rd grade, Kenny eventually earned his high-school diploma, a B.A. in theater, and a Master's degree in storytelling, one of only 2 deaf people in the world with that degree. He's succeeded despite all of that and his story will inspire success in others.
