Meet Our 2019 Keynote Speaker, Roy Heffernan of Life is Good!
Roy Heffernan is an owner and the former Chief Operating ‘Optimist’ (COO) for Life is Good, an apparel and accessories retailer and lifestyle brand. The mission of Life is Good is to spread the power of optimism. The founding brothers Bert and John Jacobs learned that their company was much more than t-shirts. They, together with Roy, helped found The Life is Good Kids Foundation, which is committed to helping children who face challenges, including the traumas of violence, poverty, and illness. The foundation is funded through 10% of the company’s net profits as well as with public donations. Roy, in his speech Embracing the Power of Optimism, will discuss the importance of this integrated model of a successful for-profit company with a philanthropy that the entire company supports.
