#848: Join us as we sit down with Ben Nemtin – Motivational Speaker, Author, & Co-Founder of The Buried Life movement. Ben first captured hearts after starring in & executive producing MTV’s hit docuseries The Buried Life, where he & three friends set out to accomplish their list of “100 Things To Do Before You Die.” For every goal they checked off, they helped a stranger achieve a dream of their own – sparking a movement around purpose, connection, & possibility. In this episode, Ben shares how he rediscovered his purpose after struggling with societal pressures, what led him to hit the road for a two-week bucket list adventure, & why taking action, even in uncertainty – is the key to momentum. He dives into the power of overcoming fear, the magic of simply asking a stranger, & how anyone can start chasing their dreams today, no matter the circumstance!
