A celebrated broadcaster, author, advocate, motivational speaker and self-described “eternal optimist,” Joan has transformed herself over the course of her career.

Lee Rhodes

What started as community support during her third round of cancer treatments, grew into a company built with the hope of supporting the basic needs of fellow cancer patients. Meet Lee Rhodes, founder of Glassybaby. From small beginnings, Lee’s company was propelled forward after her glass votive candles caught the eye of Martha Stewart. 19 years later, Glassbaby has donated more than $10.5 million to the Glassybaby WhiteLight Fund as they strive to support organizations that help with healing. #liveyourbestlife glassybaby.com

Robin Roberts

“ …at the heart, everything that I do…it’s about the narrative, it’s about the story, it”s finding another way to connect with people.” -Robin Roberts

Though we can hardly remember a time we haven’t woken up with her on Good Morning America, where she’s been co-host for the last 15 years, growing up as a young woman in Mississippi, Robin Roberts had dreams of being a professional athlete. Robin’s career evolved from local sports reporter to national sports reporter at ESPN and then on to national news at Good Morning America, and now to movie producer, but there is much more to this inspiring woman off the air. Faced with a cancer diagnosis and a rare blood disease, her mother told her “make your mess your message,” and so she did, sharing her journey with the world. Through great trials and successes, Robin believes that “self-care is not selfish” and continues to pursue in life those things in which she finds joy, living her best life. #liveyourbestlife @robinrobertsgma

The music Mark loved throughout his life began to find its way into his work and today he’s been called a “sound therapy expert.” Mark chose to pursue a dream to help people realize their power and, along the way, has shown us that music, not just words, can transform lives. #liveyourbestlife @markromeromusic

Rick Snyder

“…our intuition is the thing that keeps us on track to our deepest path of purpose and fulfillment if we have the courage to listen and to take action.” -Rick Snyder

Intuition is an entrepreneur’s best friend; the most important skill we need to develop. So believes Rick Snyder, founder and CEO of Invisible Edge, who works with executives around the world to tap into their intuition to further their personal and business success. Using your intuition connects you to your deeper purpose, says Rick, but you have to be willing to slow down; often easier said than done in this fast-paced world!
