Dr. Carl Allamby

After 25 years owning his own auto repair shops, Dr. Carl Allamby went from fixing cars to fixing people, from being a master mechanic to medical doctor. His dream of becoming a doctor may have been delayed, but at the age of 52, it would not be denied.

“…I knew that I wanted to reinvent myself…the first few minutes of just being in class, the instructor just telling us everything about medicine…and with me having like that diagnostic mind, and always wanting to know more…I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life…”

Dr. Carl is reinventing what it means to live your best life beyond midlife. Follow him on Instagram at @allamby911

Bridgett Burrick Brown

For more than 20 years, Bridgett Burrick Brown was a sought after model living in Paris, Miami and all around the world. And yet, she struggled with her own body image, yo-yo dieting, often told to lose weight, (even at a size four). Determined to redefine what beauty meant for herself, she walked away from the modeling world and started a movement to change the narrative of what it means to be beautiful from the inside out.

“I went on this journey of watching girls struggle severely with eating disorders, and I struggled with my own. I struggled with all of my self worth tied into what I looked like. And you can get lost in that really easily because nothing else is celebrated about you.”

Bridgett is ready to empower others to discover what beauty means to them at beyondbeautyproject.com

Stacy Peralta

Stacy Peralta paved the way for extreme sports and is a pioneer in skateboarding. He went on to tour the world as the first ever professional skateboarder. As an entrepreneur, Stacy was among the first to see the earning potential of skating. And today, his passion for the sport has transitioned into being an award winning documentary filmmaker.

“…Every movie, in the first act, there’s something called ‘the inciting incident’. And the inciting incident is the thing that happens that propels the hero’s journey. It’s the long lost relative that shows up at the house, it’s the phone call, it’s the murder. It’s the ‘something’ that suddenly the hero one day is going left, the event happens, the inciting incident happens, and the next day, they’re going right…I had an inciting incident happen in my life that changed my life forever. And it happened in 1974….”

Ride the wave with Stacy and hear how he has been living his best life through various chapters of extreme sports, entrepreneurship and filmmaking.

Ben Mezrich

“Bringing Down the House,” “The Accidental Billionaires,” “The Antisocial Network…” if you’ve read any of these non-fiction books, then you know who Ben Mezrich is. From being $2M in debt to becoming an international and New York Times best-selling author with more than 11 million copies sold, Ben has written more than 25 books and next chapters with critical acclaim.

“…I wrote nine novels in one year, which I don’t recommend to anybody out there who wants to be a writer, because my dad had basically said, ‘I won’t let you starve for one year, but you have to have some level of progress.’ By the end of the year, you’re gonna have to go to law school or something. So I wrote and I wrote, not that there’s anything wrong with law school, I just wasn’t for me.…”
