For over 30 years, she has led experiential workshops, initiatory processes, and private mentoring, utilizing cutting edge as well as ancient wisdom practices.

Afterward, they can fly high into the light to trust, and value themselves as well as align with their Soul’s Purpose.

After graduating with a B.S. in Accounting, she founded and operated a successful CPA firm. In 1997, at the height of that career, she was guided to sell her firm.

John Ratliff

John Ratliff founded Appletree Answers in 1995 in his two-bedroom apartment in Wilmington, Del., as a traditional telephone answering service. He grew the company through a series of acquisitions to 24 US- based locations and 650 employees when it was sold to a strategic buyer in June,2012.

Passionate about strategy, Ratliff used the methodologies of the Rockefeller Habits to reduce turnover at the company from the industry average of 110% to around 18% in the four years between 2008 and 2012. One key initiative was the company’s Dream On initiative, a “Make-A-Wish-Foundation” style program for employees in need. Appletree’s high retention rate allowed the company to manage its exponential growth while driving tremendous EBITDA and revenue gains.

In one sign of its employees’ enthusiasm, the company won the We Our Workplace Video Contest, run by the prestigious Great Place to Work Institute. Ultimately it was Appletree’s focus on employee engagement that drove its valuation on exit.

Ratliff is now CEO of GazellesPRO, the inner circle of Gazelles companies, as well as managing director of STS Capital Partners, an international mergers and acquisitions firm. He is also active in Virgin Unite, Sir Richard Branson’s charitable foundation focused on improving the employee experience.

What’s incredible is that Hal actually died at age 20. His car was hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped beating for 6 minutes, he broke 11 bones and woke up after being in a coma for 6 days to be told by his doctors that he would probably never walk again.

Well, not only did Hal walk, he ran a 52-mile ultra-marathon and went on to become a hall of fame business achiever, international keynote speaker, author, and grateful husband & father—all before he turned 30. Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again—his kidneys, lungs, and heart were failing, and he was diagnosed with a rare, and very aggressive form of leukemia.

After enduring the most difficult year of his life, battling cancer, Hal is now cancer-free and furthering his mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning at a time.

James Altucher

James Altucher is one of those guys who seems to have experienced 5 lifetimes. He got his start working at HBO in the IT department – and ended up hosting a TV show for them. In 1996, he founded a web-design firm called Reset Inc., and managed to land big-name clients like Wu Tang Clan, American Express, Con Edison, Time Warner, and BMG. He sold Reset Inc. for $10 million just 2 years later.

After using the proceeds to invest in tech stocks during the dotcom boom, he lost everything he had in just two years. That led him to seriously re-evaluate his approach to both business and life. Then Jim Cramer of TheStreet.com hired him to write about stocks. Altucher also started a hedge fund, which he managed until closing it down shortly before the financial crisis. He founded an investing website called Stockpickr, which he sold for $10 million in 2007. All in all, James has started and run more than 20 companies and is currently invested in over 30. He’s also an incredibly prolific author, having written 17 books. Two have been WSJ best-sellers: ‘The Power of No’ and ‘Choose Yourself’. USA Today also named ‘Choose Yourself’ among the 12 Best Business Books of All Time. And his book ‘I Was Blind But Now I See’ reached No. 1 in Amazon.com’s motivational books section.

James currently hosts a super successful podcast called “The James Altucher Show” with guests of the caliber of Tony Robbins, Mark Cuban, Peter Thiel, and Tim Ferriss, to name just a few. He’s also the editor of a newsletter called “The James Altucher Report” where he talks about big trends in business, investing, and success in general.

Jared Zeizel

Imagine being able to fly. Walk through walls. Shape shift. Breathe underwater. Conjure loved ones-or total strangers-out of thin air. Imagine experiencing your nighttime dreams with the same awareness you possess right now-fully functioning memory, imagination, and self-awareness. Imagine being able to use this power to be more creative, solve problems, and discover a deep sense of well-being.

This is lucid dreaming-the ability to know you are dreaming while you are in a dream and then being able to consciously explore and change the elements of the dream.

Jared is the co-author of A Field Guide to Lucid Dreaming and an experienced oneironaut (a word that comes from the Greek oneira, meaning dreams, and nautis, meaning sailor).

Campers will learn about the powerful REM sleep stage-a window into lucid dreams. Improve dream recall by keeping a journal. Learn the importance of reality checks such as “The Finger”-during the day, try to pass your finger through your palm; then, when you actually do it successfully, you’ll know that you’re dreaming. And once you become lucid, you’ll know how to make the most of it. Every time you dream, you are washing up on the shores of your own inner landscape. Learn to explore a strange and thrilling world!

Sally Hogshead

Sally believes the greatest value you can add is to become more of yourself. Because of this belief, she has created the Fascination Advantage®, the first personality assessment that measures how others perceive you.

Charlie Engle

Charlie Engle’s life has been anything but ordinary. He pursues the improbable, and seemingly impossible, without pause. Charlie was a crack addict who saved himself through ultrarunning, becoming and becoming an adventure-film star known around the world in the process.

He’s the first man to have ever run across the Sahara desert. In 2007, he and two other ultrarunners covered 45 miles a day, for 111 consecutive days, to cross the Sahara.This transcontinental run was documented in Running the Sahara, a film produced and narrated by Matt Damon. In conjunction with the run, Charlie formed the nonprofit H2O Africa, now Water.org which raised $6 million for clean water projects across Saharan Africa.

That’s when life sent him another curve, he was unjustly convicted for mortgage fraud and sent to Federal prison. (You’ll have to hear the unbelievable story!) But now Charlie is coming to Camp with an audacious new goal: a multi-sport 5,000 mile expedition from the Red Sea in Israel to the top of Mt. Everest, the lowest to highest point on earth. (Mavericks have already started working with Charlie on brainstorming this expedition.)
