James W. Keyes is known internationally as a business and social change agent. Currently spearheading several new tech initiatives, his career has included serving as Chief Executive of two Fortune 500 companies (Blockbuster Inc. and 7-Eleven), and creating a strategic consumer product collaboration with Walmart. James will join this year's inaugural Houston Energy and Climate Week ceremonies on September 9-13, 2024 to discuss his recent book, Education is Freedom.
This book provides the “what,” “why,” and “how” of learning. It outlines the importance of education for all mankind, the power of education to change our world, and the wisdom to unlock our freedom while reserving our democracy.
Education is Freedom is featured by YouTube personality Mr Beast and Beast Philanthropy as part of a global campaign to provide ten $10,000 scholarships to students worldwide.
"We're thrilled to have James Keyes be a part of this year's Houston Energy and Climate Week discussions, said co-chairs, Juliana Garaizar and Katie Mehnert. "It's time to get outside the energy bubble to have real discussions about energy, climate, and how everyone can be a part of the energy transition from students to investors, academics to the public."
"Supported by Allies in Energy the Houston Community College system and a growing list of founding partners, Houston Energy and Climate Week has something for everyone, says Lindsay Roe, Allies in Energy President. "Sign to become a partner. Host an event. Learn more. Most importantly, get engaged."
