Disrupting for Good

Chris' message of Disrupting for Good is widely applicable which makes his speech popular at many events and within a number of industries. In the last year he has given keynotes to the AHCA, New Jersey Credit Union, Boys and Girls Club National Conference, Connect Higher Education Summit, and more.

Chris Field has been disrupting the status quo most of his life. His most important disruption is Mercy Project, the non-profit he started to rescue children from human trafficking in Ghana, Africa. Its innovative approach has drawn international attention and earned the prestigious Norman Borlaug Humanitarian Award. To date, Mercy Project has rescued more than 130 children, returned them to their families, and provided them with education that will transform their future for generations to come.

Field has created disruption most of his life. At 19-years-old he ran his first marathon, ran for mayor of his hometown (placing third out of five), and was hired to run a camp that hosted 600 inner-city kids each summer. If disruption was a stick of dynamite, his spark had officially been lit. Field has filled the years from age 19 to 36 with countless more disruptions. He ran another 20 marathons, started the #1 ranked marathon in Texas, raised millions for charities as an auctioneer and advocate, wrote the most viral ice cream review ever, has taught a business class at Texas A&M University, set four Guinness World Records, and has coached 100 businesses on their use of social media. Field challenges complacency daily.

Field’s recent book, “Disrupting for Good,” debuted as the #1 new release in the “Dreams” category on Amazon. He has given two TedX talks and been featured in the Houston Chronicle, Runner’s World Magazine, Country Living, and NPR Radio to name a few. His enduring message of disrupting for good has motivated and empowered countless audiences to find their uncomfortable truth and create a better one. Field lives in College Station, Texas with his wife Stacey and their four young children.
