About Steve Gallegos, Esq.

Hi there! I’m Steve Gallegos, and my life’s mission is helping people break free from limiting beliefs, rewrite their stories, and create lives they never thought possible.

I believe in the power of leaving no one behind—a mindset I forged during my time as a U.S. Marine. Back then, I learned that lifting each other up is the only way to truly succeed.

I’m a bit of a rule breaker (the good kind!). In fact, I once bent the rules so well, I convinced the President of the United States to help me become a U.S. citizen—ask me how! Your audience will love hearing how stepping outside conventional wisdom can lead to extraordinary success.

About Kundan Kumar

Have you ever felt like life was happening to you rather than for you?

I did—until I realized that the power to design the life I wanted was always within me. That realization wasn’t a sudden epiphany but the result of a journey filled with questions, setbacks, and small but consistent wins.

Today, as the founder of Dramantram and Unbinarylife, I’m on a mission to help people break free from traditional molds and empower themselves to live with purpose and fulfillment. My philosophy centers around the 5 key pillars of life—Physical, Emotional, Financial, Professional, and Relational. These pillars form the foundation for a balanced, meaningful life, and I help individuals improve by just 2% at a time, creating long-term, compounding results.

About Olexandr Buratinskiy

Hi, I’m Olexandr Buratynskiy, founder and CEO of tTravel — an app that helps people discover the best travel spots, plan incredible itineraries, and even earn money while exploring the world. But my story goes beyond building a travel app.

I spent 12 years in tech, growing from a QA tester to a Scrum Master and System Coach, helping companies of all sizes adapt and thrive. Then, in the middle of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I bootstrapped tTravel from a platform with over 37,000 users — without a single cent of outside funding.

About Lisa Small

Early in 2020, our dad was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer out of the blue. One day he was fine and the next he was admitted to the hospital for stroke symptoms caused by large brain mets. He passed away in November 2020 after a courageous fight leaving me questioning many things.

In order to make sense of such a significant loss, and more importantly to uphold the legacy of a man who dedicated his entire life to elevating his community and prioritized family, I began to form the idea of Habitual Growth with my brother (Nate). We formulated a process – built from the decades of dedication, hard work and intentional action learned from our father – into the Habitual Growth process. From there, we connected with friends who were interested in personal and professional development and equally had a desire to leave a positive impact on the world, and began to trial the process each day through Essential Actions lists. In 2022, we understood that we had identified a process which drove positive and lasting change through setting specific and actionable goals, identifying daily intentional actions and building positive habits and formally incorporated our company, Habitual Growth.

About Tanya Akimenko

I love everything about a business. It’s a powerful journey that pushes individuals to achieve beyond what they thought possible, forces them to uncover strengths they never knew they had, and builds resilience through both highs and lows. Entrepreneurs are a unique breed—cut from a different cloth. They tap into a part of their brain most people never access.

And in my 20 years of experience, I’ve had a front-row seat to business owners—their finances, how they make decisions, and what truly drives their success.

Finances are the heartbeat of every business, and accounting is the language that brings those finances to life.

About Rob Wentz

Have you ever found yourself behaving in ways that are inconsistent with your goals, your role, your values, your vision, or what you think you should be doing?

THIS WAS ME! And because of this, my self-esteem and self-worth was very low. I dealt with drug addiction and self-sabotage for years. As I began keep the promises I made to myself I found that my personal integrity grew. I took the "mess" in my life and made it a message that I serve other people with.

I’ve coached, interviewed, and worked with hundreds of people who have had breakthroughs. Their life was headed in the wrong direction, nothing was working, and that led to a catastrophe. Out of that pain they chose to change their course, and with that change came a gift, a message, that led them to a life better than they could have ever dreamed of.

About Roy Reid

In 2019, my life was interrupted and immeasurably altered when I suffered an acute aortic dissection. This is a condition the heart splits open along the aorta and it has a 2-5% survival rate.

Miraculously, a word that defines this journey, I made it to a hospital and was airlifted to the right facility where a team worked for six hours to replace the entire upper arch of my aorta. My heart is now 25-30% synthetic material. The damage was so severe that I was placed in a coma and the prevailing idea was that there was no prognosis for a positive outcome.

We live in tumultuous times. The world seems upside down. There are so many changes and uncertainties - so many untruths. The best way to deal with it all is to have self-awareness and resilience.

I have both in spade, thanks to a traumatic childhood, a nervous breakdown, 20 years of psychotherapy and lots of healing. Turning 60 this year gives me experience and wisdom and I LOVE sharing it - hence why I founded Mapology Guides.

I love sharing and inspiring people how to live a more harmonious and content life.

Anna Rósa Parker is no stranger to transformation. Once labeled a “dreamer” and “unrealistic,” she held tightly to her ambitions, eventually building a successful luxury marketing career with roles at Nordstrom Corporate and New York agencies. Her journey, however, has been anything but straightforward. Anna faced profound personal trials, including her daughter’s struggle with substance abuse and a bout with clinical depression during the COVID-19 pandemic, which also took her career.
