Ben Nemtin

Motivational Speaker & Author

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. Ben is ranked the #2 Motivational Speaker in the World by Global Gurus and starred in The Buried Life, MTV’s highest rated show on iTunes and Amazon. As the co-founder of The Buried Life movement, Ben’s message of radical possibility has been featured on The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN, FOX, and NBC News.

 

In his first year of university, Ben was unexpectedly hit with a depression that forced him to drop out. 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 of their own, they helped a complete stranger cross something off their bucket list. From playing basketball with President Obama and having a beer with Prince Harry to reuniting a father and son after seventeen years and surprising a young girl with a much-needed bionic arm.

She’s passionate about empowering and supporting women in their sales careers by being a mentor and thought leader for #GirlsClub, an organization focused on changing the face of sales through inclusion, outreach and impact.

Mosé Barrera

Mariajose (Mosé) Barrera is the owner of Mosé Auto in Seattle.

 

Mosé was born and raised in Guatemala, and has always been a lover of loud engines, motorcycles, hot wheels and speed. She grew up in an entrepreneurial family, and taught herself how to be an auto mechanic. She gained a lot of knowledge working at an auto part store and shop, and later tried her hand in real estate.

 

After the economy crashed in 2008, she was in a position to start anew. With nothing to lose, she decided to follow her dreams and start her own shop out of her parents’ garage. In 2010, she registered as a business “MJ Auto Seattle”. She moved to her first commercial spot in 2012, and contracted people to help her do bigger jobs. In 2017, she got a chance to move to a location with more exposure and took it. The shop experienced rapid growth and was rebranded to “Mosé Auto”.

 

She moved to her current location in 2019 after the previous building got sold. It is now 2023 and Mosé has started to sell tires, added an alignment machine, and has found two full time employees who are committed to growing along with the business. She is no longer fixing cars and moving towards the role of CEO.

 

Her goal is to ensure her community of women and minorities are truly listened to when they seek auto repairs. In addition to treating all customers with respect, the 20-year auto service veteran also conducts classes to teach women about auto repair or to become mechanics themselves.

Knowledge is power, Barrera says, and she simply wants to empower her community.
