Testimonials

With firsthand experience and engaging storytelling, Ben will inspire you to dream big, identify what truly matters and go after your goals with tenacity. He was the highest rated speaker we've welcomed in a very long time and everyone left with actionable takeaways.

Ben's message continues to be a part of our culture here at Lincoln. In short, Ben spoke and our people listened. Our associates left his keynote inspired and took action towards their goals. We reported and promoted individual bucket list achievements and this inspired others to take action. Before long, our associates were helping each other achieve their dreams and this naturally created a “peer encouragement” sub-culture. Ben's presentation is more than a keynote, it is a culture shifting experience.

Ben inspired and empowered our financial advisors to move beyond money and discuss life goals with their investor clients. He is an incredible presenter with an awe-inspiring story! Total home run.

If you want a lesson in boldness and to cross things off of your bucket list, there is no better teacher than Ben.

In my 38 year career, I have never hired the same speaker twice, until Ben. He's spoken at critical internal and external events three times. He inspired me to pursue my improbable dream of songwriting in Nashville, which last October came true. I cannot thank Ben enough for his life-changing message.

I laughed, and I cried. I think it was important for Harvard students especially to experience this because for most of the students here there is pressure to embrace the material things in life and sacrifice any in your way to make it to the top. This is a message that we could all embrace and learn from!

Ben truly demonstrates what it means to never take 'no' for an answer when it comes to living out your dreams and helping others do the same. It’s more than an inspirational talk – it’s a call to action to live the life you’ve always wanted and help others do the same.

The feedback has been nothing but positive. Ben's content had a big impact on our ability to set a new record amount of donations to our College Scholarship Fund!

Ben encouraged the audience to actively talk about and help banish the stigma surrounding mental illness. His message truly resonated. Ben is sincere, funny, and thought-provoking. He motivates everyone around him to be a better person.

Ben's talk provided a unique blend of inspiration and humor, and encouraged us to discover how we can inject more meaning, curiosity, and adventure into our lives. Great stories, humble approach, and clear delivery - we now have an entirely new way to view the concept of a bucket list.

Ben’s keynote motivated and inspired our members to dream big and to aspire to be better. His honest and open discussion helped many of our attendees feel more comfortable discussing what can often be seen as a stigmatized topic. I highly recommend Ben as a speaker!

Engaging a group of 80+ CEO’s in a thoughtful exercise with no distractions is always a challenge. Ben had our group riveted during his entire talk. It inspired us to think more broadly about what a bucket list is and what should be on it, setting the tone for our entire Learning Year.

This is a GREAT real life story and motivates young and old to set audacious goals and achieve them!
