My Journey

My Journey as a Motivational Speaker

Living the Life Inspired is more than a brand—it’s how I live.
I’m Charles “Chas” Thomas—a motivational speaker, life coach, author, and host of The Life Inspired Podcast and Living the Life Inspired. After decades in corporate America, I stepped into my second act with one goal: to live boldly, inspire deeply, and help others do the same.
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, I carry the wisdom of my late mother’s words: “Don’t talk about it. Be about it.” That mantra fuels everything I create—from books and films to coaching sessions and retreats. I believe we each have a divine calling, and I’ve made it my mission to help others awaken theirs.
Whether you’ve hit a reset point, are seeking your purpose, or simply want to live more intentionally, I’m here to remind you: it’s never too late to start again. You’re not behind—you’re being called higher.
Welcome to the journey. Let’s live inspired, together.
