Ranked 2nd Best Motivational Speaker in the World (Global Gurus) #1 New York Times Bestseller

Garnering standing ovations from AIG, Anthem, Amazon, FedEx, Harvard, Microsoft, Verizon, and more. Ben is recognized as one of the World’s Top Organizational Culture Thought Leaders and was ranked 3rd Best Motivational Speaker in the world by Global Gurus in 2022 In his first year of university, Ben was unexpectedly hit with a depression that forced him to 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, they helped a complete stranger cross something off their bucket list. 

We called our mission The Buried Life. The Buried Life was named after a 150 year-old poem by Matthew Arnold which articulated our frustrations perfectly our dreams felt buried. We borrowed an RV, bought a second-hand camera and hit the road for a two-week road trip to tackle our list of impossible dreams and help others. What happened next was completely unexpected. Total strangers reached out to help us with our bucket list, and also sent us their dreams asking for help. We had no idea the ripple effect our mission would have, ultimately inspiring millions to write their list and pursue their buried dreams.

That two-week road trip has lasted over a decade. And the list items that I was once convinced were impossible, have somehow been checked off the list.
As a result, I now truly believe that anyone can do anything and I have seen how this belief changes how you make decisions and, ultimately, how you live your life. My goal is to instill this belief in you and prove that you are capable of the impossible.
