From Adversity to Global Inspiration
Ben’s story began with a personal struggle that changed the course of his life. While attending university, he was unexpectedly hit by depression, forcing him to leave school and step away from the future he had planned. During this difficult period, Ben searched for a way to rediscover purpose and excitement in life.
Together with three close friends, he decided to create a list of 100 dreams they wanted to accomplish before they died. They called the project The Buried Life. With little money and a borrowed old RV, the group traveled across North America pursuing their biggest dreams while helping strangers achieve theirs along the way.
This simple but powerful idea sparked a movement that inspired millions around the world. Their journey became the hit MTV series The Buried Life, which became MTV’s highest-rated show on iTunes and Amazon. The project connected deeply with audiences because it showed that extraordinary goals can become achievable through courage, persistence and action.
