I'm on a mission to help the world become more emotionally intelligence.
I also love mid-90s to mid-2000s Indie/Emo/PopPunk music.
(Some of my favorites include Jimmy Eat World, blink 182, Bright Eyes, and Yellowcard.)

I'm on a mission to help the world become more emotionally intelligence.
I also love mid-90s to mid-2000s Indie/Emo/PopPunk music.
(Some of my favorites include Jimmy Eat World, blink 182, Bright Eyes, and Yellowcard.)
Once-upon-a-time, I was a touring musician myself, and have also spent 23 years as a teacher/mentor/community builder.
When I was playing shows, I often found myself just as interested in the conversations I was having as I was in performing. The music became my way of drawing people in.
And my project, Superstar Runner, was really about recognizing human potential.
(It was very "posi-core" as Ace Enders once put it.)
We often talk about the importance of mental health in the PopPunk community, but I've often found that other than suggestions of therapy (which I'm a major advocate of), there aren't a whole lot of resources out there to do much about it.
I felt like this was something I could help with.
So, a few years ago, I decided to focus my attention more coaching and mentoring,
and centered my focus on Emotional Health.
I then thought, "I wonder if there was a way in which I could combine my love of emo music AND personal transformation into an actual thing."
And so...here we are!
Originally, from Princeton, New Jersey, by-way of Missouri, North Carolina, and now, Pennsylvania,
Benjamin Bailie Johnson (aka. Ben Bailie Emokid) is an inspirational speaker, life coach, and indie/powerpop singer-songwriter.
A once-touring artist himself, Ben often combines speaking with original live music to give “Keynote Concerts” - creating a unique blend of entertainment, edification, and empowerment.
Featured on FOX, CBS, and PBS, Ben has appeared at music festivals such as Bonnaroo, and the Vans Warped Tour, and has been considered one of the most uniquely original speakers of his generation.
Ben is also the founder of the "University of Emo" where he helps leaders and professionals achieve high levels of Emotional Intelligence (EQ), confidence, and contentment (often) through the lens of IndieRock, Emocore, and PopPunk music.
Over the years, Ben's goal has always been fairly simple: to build bridges between where people are, and where they’d like to go - helping them get to the next level.
With over 23 years of leadership experience (particularly among youth and young adults), a lifetime's worth of stories, unique and challenging perspectives, and often catchy songs to go with it, Ben has a way of helping both clients and audiences drastically re-envision the lives they've been given, emboldening them to take action, and step into an even brighter future than they've ever imagined.
