Lansing Economic Club Host Panel with Coaches Michael Garland and Tom Izzo

June 5 Event Features Powerful Conversation on Leadership, Survival, and Lifesaving Purpose

LANSING, Mich. — The Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce was proud to host a powerful panel discussion at the 2024-25 season finale of the June Lansing Economic Club, featuring former MSU Assistant Coach and Champions of the Heart founder Michael Garland and Michigan State University Men’s Basketball Head Coach Tom Izzo.

The event took place on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center and was moderated by Ann Emmerich, Anchor at WILX News 10.

This impactful conversation explored themes of leadership, adversity, and purpose. Garland shared his life-altering experience of surviving cardiac arrest in 2022, thanks to two brave passersby who administered CPR and helped save his life. That moment inspired him to launch Champions of the Heart, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding hands-only CPR training, access to CPR manikins, and AEDs throughout communities.

Coach Tom Izzo joined the discussion to reflect on Garland’s journey, their shared legacy at MSU, and the principles behind the Spartan training philosophy—a discipline explored in Garland’s new book, AGOGE. Together, the coaches offered insights on high performance, resilience, and what it truly means to lead with heart.

“This panel embodied what the Lansing Economic Club is all about—bringing people together to share stories that motivate and spark impact,” said Tim Daman, President & CEO of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. “We were honored to host Champions of the Heart Founder Mike Garland and MSU Men’s Basketball Coach Tom Izzo for what proved to be an emotional and unforgettable program.”

“I wouldn’t be here today without two people who knew CPR,” said Coach Michael Garland. “Now it’s my mission to make sure every community is equipped to save lives. This conversation was a chance to spread that message and celebrate the power of preparation and purpose.”

“Mike Garland is not just a survivor—he’s a servant leader,” said Coach Tom Izzo. “What he’s doing with Champions of the Heart is bigger than basketball. I was proud to sit beside him and help amplify this life-saving message.”
