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.

Carm Capriotto

Carm Capriotto is a connector of aftermarket professionals and is the founder and host of Remarkable Results Radio, the premier automotive service repair podcast. The podcast features interviews with the best in the business, sharing their unfiltered, honest and sincere stories with the goal of helping to advance the aftermarket.

As an award-winning aftermarket podcaster, he has not only spotlighted many successful service professionals, he has also interviewed aftermarket business coaches, technicians, educators, students, association executives, female shop owners and husband and wife shop owners. Carm is proud to help thousands of aftermarket professionals achieve their own remarkable results through the powerful medium of podcasting.

Carm created the Aftermarket Radio Network in 2021, featuring Remarkable Results Radio, The Town Hall Academy, Aftermarket Weekly, and new shows from Matt Fanslow, Hunt Demarest, Chris Cotton, and Kim and Brian Walker.

She is a Stevie Award winning, tenacious revenue leader passionate about enterprise value creation, cultivating our next generation of leaders and building data-driven, high-performing cultures. 

 

Cassie attended the University of Georgia and is an avid bulldog. She also has the distinct honor of graduating with a certificate from Harvard Business School’s Executive Education program. She’s been included in the Top 50 Women Leaders in SaaS by The Software Report, Top 100 U.S. Business Leaders by Business Leaders Magazine and won multiple Stevie Awards for her experience in sales, customer service and leadership.  

 

Cassie’s commitment to her business community is apparent in her choice to serve on the Advisory Council of the George Washington University School of Business. Her appetite for self-improvement and meteoric rise fuels her personal success story. But that’s only part of Cassie’s list of incredible achievements. She’s also deeply involved in helping raise the profile of women in business.

 

Since the sales industry is overwhelmingly male-dominated, Cassie’s personal goal is to help other women learn from her mistakes as well as her successes. 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. Through #GirlsClub, Cassie provides job training and contributes to the community as an invaluable resource for women at any point in their sales career. Cassie personally mentors two women outside of #GirlsClub in her spare time.
