What happens when you stop letting the world define you and start choosing yourself?

For more than three decades, Jennie Garth has lived that question in public. She became one of television’s most recognizable stars as Kelly Taylor on the cultural phenomenon Beverly Hills, 90210, growing up in front of millions while an entire generation formed an idea of who she was. Today, she has reclaimed one of her character’s most iconic declarations, “I choose me,” and transformed it into a deeply personal philosophy about identity, reinvention, and having the courage to decide what comes next.

Garth has navigated extraordinary fame, motherhood, divorce, aging in Hollywood, and the challenge of building a life beyond the role that made her a household name. Her instant New York Times bestseller, I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention, and I Choose Me With Jennie Garth podcast turn those experiences into candid conversations about letting go of expectations, embracing change, and finding purpose in a new chapter.

An actor, producer, bestselling author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and designer, Garth has continually evolved without losing the authenticity that first connected her with millions. Onstage, she brings a refreshingly relatable perspective to the moments when the life you built no longer fits and choosing yourself becomes the first step toward building what comes next.

Most people think they know American history. Greg Jackson is not so sure.

From her roots in Oklahoma and Texas, Jennifer Welch has become a powerhouse digital media star, attracting hundreds of millions of views to her political straight talk and social satire. As co-host of the I’ve Had It podcast, she speaks directly to the post-2024 political landscape and has built a massive (and influential) following by asking tough questions of our leaders. Journalist Mehdi Hasan has called Welch, “perhaps the most influential women in the Democratic Party right now,” while the New York Times asked if Welch is “the Democrats’ toughest critic,” reflecting her ability to shape conversation through authenticity and fearlessness.

As a speaker, Welch delivers blunt, unscripted analysis for audiences who want straight answers instead of talking points. Drawing on her finger-on-the-pulse read of public sentiment, Welch explains why political language stopped working, what voters are responding to now, and why leaders lose trust when they refuse to state the obvious. Audiences leave with a clearer sense of the moment they are living in and why honesty carries more weight than polish.

Few journalists have faced the kind of recovery Benjamin Hall had to fight through. While reporting on the war in Ukraine in 2022, the veteran correspondent was critically wounded when his vehicle was struck by incoming fire outside Kyiv. Two members of his team were killed. Hall endured multiple surgeries and a long recovery before returning home to his family, a journey he recounts in his bestselling memoir Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home and continues in Resolute, another bestseller. His story has become a powerful example of resilience in the face of unimaginable loss and adversity.

Before that moment, Hall spent years covering conflict around the world. As a Senior Correspondent for Fox News Channel, he has reported from Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, documenting war and diplomacy from the ground rather than a studio. Those years reporting from the front lines gave him a rare perspective on courage and endurance long before he was forced to draw on those qualities himself. He is also the author of the bestselling children’s book Read All About It!

On stage, Hall reflects on survival, recovery, and the mindset required to rebuild after everything changes in an instant. He brings audiences closer to the human realities behind global events while offering a deeply personal perspective on resilience, perseverance, and the determination required to move forward after hardship.
