    “What’s your bike” introduces audiences to the struggles of addiction in the family, while lending credibility with those on their similar paths.

    As the audience discovers the possibilities for change in the face of chaos, Dave moves them from a place of fear and worry to one of hope and opportunity while helping them recognize the impact of both on their lives and their outcomes.

    After learning his youngest child was addicted to heroin, Dave Cooke spent the next eighteen months on a relentless quest to save him. This determined commitment took him through all the experiences a parent goes through – deception, theft, overdoses, multiple arrests, jail, homelessness and untold sleepless nights. With every painful experience guilt and failure took another piece out of his spirit to the point where he felt as though everything was lost. His business nearly collapsed, his health was suffering, and his relationships were falling apart. Dave was broken in every way imaginable.

    Late one night, in a desperate plea for relief, Dave took on a personal challenge to ride his bike for one hour a day, for one hundred consecutive days. It was an activity which completely changed his life. Dave’s inspiring story provides powerful insights into the experiences of being a parent of an addicted child, while offering an incredibly inspiring message for parents struggling to find their way through life’s adversities such as the chaos of their child’s addiction.

  • What is Happiness / Success?

    Mark Reinoso, Managing Partner / Owner, Desert State Fire, PM Contracting Team, Irvington House

    "I want to be rich" "I want to be famous" "I dont want to work" "I want good food" "I want to travel." "I want kids, or more kids". "I want someone to share my life with"...the list goes on and on. Those are all admirable goals, but that's not what makes us happy. Happiness is more than a great bottle of wine, a fat bank account, or an exotic place. MORE >

    We come from all walks of life, have vastly different figures in our bank accounts, we come from different countries...we couldn't be more different! But yet, almost all of us would consider ourselves happy. Even people in war torn countries consider themselves happy.

    Enjoyment is temporary, and so is discomfort. You can enjoy a great meal, or a ride on a scooter, a trip to a foreign land... Happiness isnt excitement, or enjoyment. Just because you really enjoyed that roller coaster of that glass of whiskey, doesn't mean you are happy. And Just because you aren't enjoying yourself in that particular moment, doesn't mean you are unhappy.Just because you dont enjoy your visit to the proctologist or gynecologist, doesn't mean you aren't happy.

    Happiness is a deep abiding feeling...its visceral.Its a deep abiding feeling that you have. Its knowing that you are living your best life you can with the circumstances you have. It's knowing that you are cultivating the best relationships you can, that you are wanted and needed by the people you love.

    Your dream has power. It can inspire you. It can empower you. But will it reward you?

    Most people fail to realize their potential because their dream remains hypothetical. Put Your Dream To the Test takes your dream from ethereal to achievable. Learn how to crystallize your vision and galvanize your commitment. MORE >

    Drawing from the wisdom of John C. Maxwell, and his own experience in moving from day-dreaming to dare-dreaming, Joel will lead your group through the steps of taking ownership for their dreams, and help them answer:

    Is my dream really MY dream or does it belong to someone else?
