Proposed Cast for Character Wins

Here are some folks we would like to see as a part of the Character Wins cast. Some we've talked to, some we haven't.

Here are the bios of the proposed cast for "Character Wins":


Flip Flippen, an internationally renowned speaker and psychotherapist, developed The Flippen Profile, an unparalleled psychometric assessment tool that accurately identifies individual strengths and weaknesses. Using this powerful tool, Flip conceived the theory of Overcoming Personal Constraints (OPC), which teaches people how to break the constraints that limit performance and hinder growth. His book, The Flip Side – Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back, released May 2007, is a New York Times and USA Today Best Seller.

The success of his efforts has been documented on The Today Show, The Super Bowl Pre-Game Show, Speed Channel’s NBS 24/7, and in countless publications for more than twenty years.

A college football playing legend who’s now a fixture at CBS Sports, Spencer Tillman is a delightful speaker. Tillman was an All-American running back at Oklahoma (1982-86) and captained the 1985 national championship team when it beat Penn State 25-10 in the Orange Bowl. He joined CBS in 1999 as the lead studio analyst and is now paired with Tim Brando on the College Football Today desk. Tillman is unique in that his football and broadcasting careers developed in tandem. While playing for the Houston Oilers, he worked as a TV anchor and reporter during the NFL’s seven-month offseason.

Actress Janine Turner was trained at New York's Professional Children's School. She went on to roles on "Dallas", "General Hospital", "Northern Exposure" and "Friday Night Lights".

The book focuses on single mothers through history, such as Rachel Lavein Fawcett, the abandoned single mother of Alexander Hamilton.

As a former University of Texas Scholastic All-American and NFL football player for eight years, Doug Dawson understands discipline. While most people are capable and disciplined in their areas of expertise, when it comes to finances, they often overlook their own long-term goals. Doug helps people become financially organized in a way that’s consistent with the goals they have in mind.
