What makes a rich life? Goal setting expert Bridget Hilton explores the surprising truth about wealth—that it's not found in bank accounts but in purposeful action and meaningful impact. Through her journey from the music industry, to giving 50,000 people hearing aids across 40 countries, to writing a best selling book, audiences discover how going from dreaming to doing creates genuine fulfillment. Drawing from conversations with 20,000 people worldwide, this powerful keynote reveals the one trait all truly wealthy people share: they create urgency and accountability around their dreams - instead of waiting for 'someday'.

Bridget is a leading expert on the art, science, and path to building a life rich in experiences. Growing up in Flint, MI, she used her love of music as inspiration and hustled her way into the largest record label in the world as a teenager - helping to launch some of today's biggest careers in music. Inspired by a viral video of a deaf woman hearing for the first time, she then founded the first social good electronics company, LSTN Sound Co., sold millions of products, partnered with the likes of Google, Delta Air Lines, and Amazon, was interviewed by Today Show, GMA, NYT, and traveled the world giving over 50,000 people the gift of hearing. Now as a keynote speaker, co-author of the Experiential Billionaire book and Treasure Maps card deck, self proclaimed experiential guinea pig, and facilitator of one of the largest surveys on life experiences ever done, she has inspired hundreds of thousands to follow and achieve their dreams personally and professionally.
