Richard James III – Speaker

World Champion & Olympic Torch Bearer!

Number one tip for becoming a world champion & achieving success: Most are simply too afraid to do it. For this same reason, most never optimize their quality of life and health. Constrained by antiquated misconceptions, society’s often unfounded opinions and uncertainty. Richard James speaks to how to reverse this common position and elevate your quality of life beyond your greatest expectations.

Hot Topics

Quality of Life especially as we age (hot topic as new year’s resolutions approach):

The world does not have an obesity problem but a loss of muscle crisis. Even as we notice sarcopenia (the natural loss of muscle as we age) gradually stealing our life, many do nothing! We witness it in elderly shoppers shuffling along grocery store aisles, in middle-aged individuals struggling with menial labor-oriented tasks, and in the innumerable cases of disease and poor health. Yet, many remain oblivious to the fact they are staring at their future selves.

Fortunately, scientific studies and our Fit Lab Foundation efficacy study have provided a solution. Resistance training! Lifting weights has been shown to be the most effective method for preserving and building muscle, which mitigates many of the diseases and weaknesses associated with aging, enhances mental health and brain function, reduces stress, and improves quality of life.

Unfortunately, many have no idea how to lift weights or hold misconceptions about what lifting does for the body. The latest scientific research has provided answers, and Richard James has not only lived it but conducted studies and tests to support the science. For instance, lifting 75% of one’s maximum lift places the body in an anabolic muscle growth state releasing chemicals and hormones that maintain youth. Richard James shares the protocol and his own experiences for retaining the strength and vibrance of youth well into your 80’s and 90’s.

Edutainment – Education through Entertainment

As the author of the Adventures of the Elements book series, inventor of the Adventures of the Elements trading card game, and with an animated series, toy line and other ancillary products in production, Richard James shares methods for effectively educating today’s youth.

Adventures of the Elements, targeted for ages eight through high school, combines fantasy and adventure to teach science, redefining edutainment.  This is a character driven story where children learn that all entities can perform good or evil depending on the choices they make.  Facing the influences of power, avarice, and corruption, the children persevere and earn the respect of the element world.

The Adventures of the Elements, AoE, concept is derived from a series of children’s novels wherein five siblings discover sunglasses through which they can see the elements from the Periodic Table.  These elements are personified into super-hero like characters with powers based upon their chemical properties.  The children embark on a series of adventures both through history and contemporary time to save the world from evil forces, molecules, and atoms.  Substantial scientific learning has been shown to result from experiencing the books and the related trading card game. 

The bonus value of this feature is its ability to relay information about the chemical elements and science through a riveting, epic tale.  For instance, the first names of the elements begin with their chemical symbols found on the periodic table such as in Ollie Oxygen, Xerxes Xenon, Arla Argon, and Casper Calcium.  In essence, the captivating animation gives science a personality through a gripping, spine-tingling adventure.  Each of the element guardians and molecules possess unique powers depending upon how that element or molecule reacts in nature.  Thus, like the X-Men, each element guardian controls a unique ability, style, and motion.  An original, distinctive, and effective method of introducing children of all ages to scientific terminology and concepts while incorporating other academic areas such as history, English, and the arts.

With a firm belief that education is the key to solving the world’s enigmas including poverty, disease, and the lack of basic human rights, Richard James has historically partnered with numerous individuals and entities to improve education.  A sample of these partners include Bill & Melinda Gates, ExxonMobil, Time Warner Cable, Coca-Cola, Motiva, Entergy, Meadows Foundation, Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts, YMCA, and the American Chemical Society.

According to Bill & Melinda Gates’ managing director, “The passion you exude for improving education – coupled with the uniqueness and effectiveness of the Adventures of the Elements [ALMY’s leading product line] in strengthening students’ math, science, and technology skills… is truly on the cutting edge of contemporary education.  When Bill and Melinda Gates were first exposed to the Adventures of the Elements, they saw the potential and wanted to be involved.  The benefits to children in learning science and math while having a great time is truly unique and is very compatible with their personal interests and goals.”

According to Jim Miller, former President at Warner Brothers, “AoE [Adventures of the Elements] is great. Unique in the educational/ entertainment arena. In an arena where most offerings are neither educational nor entertaining, AoE stands apart.”

Adventures of the Elements provides tools for enhancing education and for shaping education policy.  The product effectively reaches and resonates with students and educators globally. The objective is to actively engage all students in science, reading, and math in an environment conducive to students’ interests.  With today’s children watching television and movies, playing video games, and surfing the internet, there exists a medium for education through entertainment.  The ultimate goal is to not only expose more students to science, reading, and math but to encourage students to garner an interest to pursue various career fields.  With knowledge, one gains peace of mind, which eliminates the fear that breeds anger, prejudice, and war.  AoE works to invigorate and inspire children, our world’s future, to thirst for knowledge.

Having spoken at International and National conferences, Fortune 500 corporations, fundraising events, Universities and schools, municipalities, nonprofits, and sporting events and teams, Richard James has a tailored message for every demographic.
