THE VISIONARY
George A. Slade Jr.
Founder & CEO | Global Chef & Creative Visionary
George A. Slade Jr. isn't just a creator – he's a cultural architect, a master chef who turned from cooking cuisine to cooking culture. His journey from the kitchens of the world's finest establishments to creating a universe where technology has personality is nothing short of extraordinary.
As a Global Chef, George mastered the art of blending flavors, cultures, and experiences. But he saw something bigger – the opportunity to create a brand that would inspire the next generation to see technology not as cold machinery, but as characters with soul, purpose, and voice.
George's vision is rooted in the belief that Imagination is Image-Nation™. If you can see it in your mind, you can create it in reality. This philosophy drives every aspect of Techie Crew™ – from the character design to the brand partnerships, from the storytelling to the global expansion strategy.
Today, George leads All Things Can Talk™, a creative powerhouse that's redefining how we interact with technology, how we teach innovation, and how we inspire creativity in the digital age. His work bridges entertainment, education, hospitality, and technology in ways never seen before.
★ Special Recognition ★
Gloria 'Glow Flow' Slade
The Foundation of a Dream | Beloved Mother, NYC Special Education Teacher, Inspiration
At 91 years young, Gloria 'Glow Flow' Slade stands as the cornerstone of everything Techie Crew™ represents. She's not just George's mother – she's the architect of his vision, the source of his determination, and the living embodiment of turning "NO" into "YES YES YES."
After losing her husband, Gloria made a decision that would change three lives forever. She went back to college, earned her teaching degree, and embarked on a 35+ year journey as one of New York City's most celebrated Special Education teachers.
Gloria specialized in working with students everyone else had written off. Kids labeled as "can't" became her mission. She saw potential where others saw limitation. She heard "YES" where the world shouted "NO." Every child she taught learned that their perceived limitations were just starting points for extraordinary achievements.
Every character in Techie Crew™ carries Gloria's spirit – the belief that everything and everyone has a voice, a purpose, and unlimited potential. Her legacy of turning doubt into determination fuels this entire movement.
