Dan was lucky enough to grow up in a small town in Michigan and run around outside getting dirty and scraped up. He body has a deep love of hands on problem solving and exploration that spans the range from robots to basket weaving. His heart craves service and connection in this human experience.

Dan got his fifteen minutes of fame from building robots in research labs at MIT(BS,MS,ABD,IBS) and in art spaces around the world.

Nate Ball is an inventor, entrepreneur, athlete, CEO, author, and performer. His unending joy from creative pursuits started early in life; childhood projects included kayaks, potato guns, and a Tesla coil, along with many piano compositions and a thrilling couple of summers street performing for tourists with his beatboxing skills.

His inventive spirit led him to MIT where he earned two degrees in mechanical engineering and helped develop and host an Emmy and Peabody-award winning PBS Kids engineering show that’s reached tens of millions of viewers. He is also the cofounder and CEO of a company that builds specialized rescue and access systems for helicopters, first responders, utility line crews and astronauts, is named on dozens of patents, and is the author of two children’s book series.

But when speaking to college students, Nate always finds himself focusing on how much uncertainty, frustration, self-doubt, and fear have been a part of all these bio-worthy successes, and that learning to work with his own emotions has brought about the breakthroughs that have meant the most to him.

As a senior in college, Troy committed to a daily yoga practice. Swiftly, her life began to transform. She became less anxious, and her mind became more clear. Troy started to feel more joyful, grateful, and fulfilled. She was no longer just “making it,” from one task to the next, on her never-ending to-do list. She was waking up.

After several months of daily yoga, Troy knew she wanted to teach. She wanted to help people get off their to-do-list hamster wheels. What’s the point of all of our success, if most of the time we feel like we're just making it through the day?
