CJ Finley grew up with passions centered around sports, technology, and community, but traded them during his early career for a “secure” and “stable” path as an Engineer. A few years into this way of life, constant struggles with his autoimmune disease and the sudden passing of several family members caused him to flip his outlook on life. He questioned his current way of living and dreamt of the impact he truly wanted to leave behind someday, and he knew that it would take a leap of faith and a path less traveled to get there. With the constant reminder that life is an opportunity and a gift -- and one that shouldn't be taken for granted--he left everything on the line to make a positive impact. Soon after leaving his career behind, he started THRIVEONLIFE as a way of inspiring others to do more with life than merely survive. Now his brand exists as a small business that partners with mission-driven founders and brands to help identify areas that are preventing the companies and their people from thrivi

Thomas Campbell has a Master’s degree in physics from Purdue University and began his career working in the nuclear technology industry.  In the early 1970s, he began researching altered states of consciousness with Bob Monroe at the Monroe Institute in Virginia using basic scientific methodologies.  Campbell took what he experienced directly and learned from all of the experiments at the Institute and wrote the trilogy “My Big TOE” (TOE stands for “theory of everything”).    According to him, “it represents the results and conclusions of thirty years of careful scientific exploration of the boundaries and contents of reality from both the physical and metaphysical viewpoints…By demanding high quality repeatable, empirical, evidential data to separate what's real (exists independently and externally) from what's imaginary or illusory; Campbell has scientifically derived this general model of reality.”  Today, Thomas lectures on the nature of reality and also works as a scientific consultant in the US Defense

At the age of 21, he married his first wife, Treenie (née Barker), with whom he emigrated to Australia in 1964. Together, they had a beef and dairy farm and raised four children.
