Ben Nemtin

Ben Nemtin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "What Do You Want to Do Before You Die?" and "The Bucket List Journal." He was ranked the #2 motivational speaker in the world by Global Gurus and starred in the hit TV show "The Buried Life." Over half of Fortune 100 companies have turned to Nemtin to inspire their teams around purpose, change, and fearless goal-setting.

Nemtin’s message lives in radical possibility. In university, he was blindsided by depression and forced to leave school. Searching for a way forward, he and three friends wrote the world’s greatest bucket list and set off in a rickety RV to chase it. They never imagined it would inspire a global movement.

Their mission became simple: for every dream they achieved, they helped a stranger achieve theirs. From playing basketball with President Obama and surviving on a deserted island, to reuniting a father and son after 17 years and surprising a young girl with a life-changing bionic arm.

Oprah called their mission “truly inspiring,” while "TODAY" put it simply: it’s about living with purpose. Nemtin believes the fastest way to grow, personally and professionally, is to connect to purpose. He has crossed off 96 of 100 dreams, and is on track to complete his ultimate goal, “#100: Go to Space."
