As long as we breathe, we have the capacity to realize immense potential and achieve our dreams.
Despite our efforts, many are deterred, and even overwhelmed. We share the universal experience of… adversity. Obstacles, setbacks, and challenges rise up in our path. Fear, stress, and worry can leave us burned out inside.
​
What if you accepted adversity as a tool for your personal growth, rather than something to resist or fear? What if you had the ability to use every inner and outer experience to strengthen and develop yourself?
That power is available to you when you connect to a greater purpose. Connecting to it allows you to see beyond your present circumstances and understand the significance of each moment. From this perspective, you can move boldly through each day, knowing that everything that happens will only propel you further in your journey.
About Biel
I am the son of refugees and dreamers. I am an entrepreneur. A former D1 athlete. A military servicemember. And most of all, a student of life. When I was young, I held an everlasting curiosity for what it means to be a healthy, happy, and prosperous human; to realize our potential. I remember when I was 12 and seeking truth, I looked to the Bible, and was fascinated with the story of Solomon. He asked God not for long life or riches, but for wisdom, and I marveled. Then prayed and asked God for the same. “If I am wise”, young me thought, “then I don’t need all the answers, I will find the truth no matter where I go”.
​
I found that truth all throughout my childhood. I grew up as the fruit of my family's dream. Almost 30 years ago, with war and poverty running rampant in South Sudan, my mother went through an arranged marriage and left her family to go America. Her goal: escape war, raise a family, and have peace in life. After they had my siblings and I, my father died when I was a child. I watched my mother face loss, adversity, and challenges on this journey. I grew out of that struggle, and took on the mantle of completing a vision that started long before me. I learned what it means to live a life of meaning and purpose amidst the greatest of challenges.
I don’t know you personally, but I know you have goals, desires, and dreams; problems, challenges, and obstacles. Whether it be in work, relationships, circumstances, or within, we have unique experiences in a universal story. It’s time you fully live that story, and rise up stronger and wiser after every chapter. With every fiber in my being, I KNOW that you have more inside of you to give…and to receive.
​
To achieve your vision and realize your potential, you will need to be rooted in your purpose, harvesting meaning and value from ALL of your experiences. That's right. All. Life is your greatest teacher, and your experiences give you the truth you need if you know how to find it. You can trust what I say because the wisdom I found in my own life, is also found… in yours.

TALK ONE
Resiliency: a m.a.p. to LIFE'S destinations
Each of us has a potential state we are trying to reach. Whether it be in your career, relationships, health, spirituality, ect. Our life is a unique story, but the keys to achieving our highest dreams and overcoming the heaviest burdens can be used by all.
There is a gap between where we are and where we are going. In it lies every challenge imaginable. How we operate in this gap determines not only if we will succeed in reaching our destination, but if we will be happy and healthy when we arrive.
​
The MAP framework (Meaning, Attitude, and Purpose) draws from best practices in the field of psychology to provide immediately applicable takeaways; to ensure not only that we persevere towards success, but that we maintain our health and happiness on the journey.
TALK TWO
HOLISTIC WELLBEING: a blueprint to building a life of health, success, and balance.
In this day and age, asking someone to "slow down" or "let it go" might seem almost taboo. "I have to work", "people are depending on me", "how will I reach my goals if I am not moving?". The truth is, we can only do so much in a day. And the mind will demand more. The gap between what your body can handle, and what your mind demands is where your suffering and tribulation is. Not in the goal or challenge.
The insights in this talk provide the blueprint to closing this gap, and building a healthy foundation to sustain wellbeing. All while maintaining our need for success and achievement.
TALK THREE
A Dauntless Spirit: Experiencing meaning, purpose, and confidence amidst adversity
From birth we are thrust into the universal experience of pursuing dreams, desires, and fulfillment; as well as facing obstacles, failure, and adversity. These experiences are constant and so is your response. That response determines if you rise emboldened through the hardships of life, or fall embittered.
​
The memorable stories and insightful lessons in this talk show you how to rise from ALL experiences...with A Dauntless Spirit.
Biel's Testimonials
Highly engaging motivational speaker. Biel does a great job of bringing concepts together to tell a motivational story. I have seen him speak on numerous topics, each one just as captivating as the last. I have had many colleagues come up to me months after his speeches and tell me they still think about those concepts and the impression left on them.

Biel is a natural-born speaker. During his time as an MC for a global pitch competition at St. Thomas, he showed not only great confidence, humor, and affability, but also great flexibility when some parts of the event didn’t go exactly according to plan. He was able to adjust on the fly and make sure everything went extremely smoothly.
