Some might say James Hadlock has lived three widely separated lives. One as a young multi-millionaire with the 26th fastest growing company in Utah, one who struggled with mental illness and substance abuse for over a decade, and the one currently, as a compassion-driven, thought-provoking, changemaker who speaks nationally on proactively addressing mental health and addiction in the workplace and how meaningful connection is key to emotional well-being.
James is Co-Founder and Chief Evangelist of BluNovus, a human connection company, and the CARE Initiative, the world’s first and only Proactive Employer Program. He has over 25 years of leadership and entrepreneurial experience and is more than 11 years drug and alcohol free.
James is known for his vulnerable style, where his blend of stories, humor, and research entertain and inspire audiences to think and do different.
James and his wife Alicia are avid Dodger fans and live with 6 of their 9 children in the charming mountains of Midway, UT.
