Five current and former members of the Philadelphia Eagles — including head coach Nick Sirianni and star running back Saquon Barkley — are set to headline a financial seminar at the Wells Fargo Center organized by a man whose companies have faced allegations of mismanagement, fraud, or deceptive business practices, an Inquirer review has found.
On Saturday, Philadelphia’s 21,000-seat Wells Fargo Center will be transformed into the home of Life Surge, a Christian motivational speaking series and investing seminar that has visited dozens of cities across the U.S. over the past year.

Some attendees of the recent Life Surge seminars have publicly complained that Johnson’s new company exploits the Christian faith and the allure of the famous speakers as a cover for “bait and switch” sales tactics pitching a series of weekend investing seminars. There, Life Surge sells “advanced educational opportunities” featuring mentors who dispense financial advice that can cost nearly $40,000. On-the-spot financing from a third-party is offered to cover these costs, and two clients interviewed by The Inquirer said speakers encouraged them to dip into retirement funds.
