Sponsor: Fieldstone Homes
Join us for an inspirational morning as Ben Nemtin teaches us how to make the impossible possible.
Ben is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of “What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?” and “The Bucket List Journal.” Ben is ranked the #2 Motivational Speaker in the World by Global Gurus and starred in “The Buried Life,” MTV’s highest rated show on iTunes and Amazon. As the co-founder of The Buried Life movement, Ben’s message of radical possibility has been featured on The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, FOX, and NBC News.
In his first year of university, Ben was unexpectedly hit with a depression that forced him to drop out. In an attempt to feel more alive, he created the world’s greatest bucket list with his three best friends. They borrowed a rickety old RV and crisscrossed North America, achieving the unthinkable. And most importantly, every time they accomplished a dream of their own, they helped a complete stranger cross something off their bucket list. From playing basketball with President Obama and having a beer with Prince Harry to reuniting a father and son after 17 years and surprising a young girl with a much-needed bionic arm. So far, he’s crossed off 96 of his 100 list items and in 2025 he’ll be crossing off #100: Go to Space. Ben’s message of radical possibility has inspired millions to unlock their true potential.
