Nationwide — Meet Brad Butler II, also known as “B-Rad Inspires”, the former Special Ed student that was told he could never go to college. Now, he is an award-winning motivational speaker, author, student advocate, and success coach. As CEO and founder of his own company, Brad’s mission is to help educators increase the graduation rate for students and athletes with keynote speeches and professional development.
Before Brad became all that he is today, he spent many of his years fighting to overcome adversity. He struggled with his parents’ substance abuse, academic struggles, and countless amounts of naysayers. Despite everything, Brad managed to find solace in sports like football. His moments on the field are what inspired his close friends and family to coin the nickname B-Rad. At the tender age of eight, Brad experienced an unexpected transition that changed the course of his life forever!
