"The Power of Hitting Rock Bottom" by Maxwell Bentley, Bentley Media, LLC

MZBKeynotePosterWhat if the worst thing that ever happened to you was actually preparing you for something greater? In this raw and deeply personal keynote, Maxwell Bentley shares how losing nearly everything — his finances, car, business, and sense of identity — forced him to confront the false beliefs he had built his life around and uncover a form of wealth that couldn't be repossessed, foreclosed on, or taken away. Audiences leave with renewed hope, a powerful new perspective on adversity, and the realization that rock bottom isn't always where life falls apart... it may be where we finally discover who we are and what makes us truly valuable.
