About Ryan: My life has been filled with challenges and failure after failure…. through hard work, dedication, perseverance, and grit I found myself on the other side of it. I grew up in a broken home with an alcoholic mother and a bipolar father that was in and out of prison. It wasn't like they didn't try, they wanted to be good parents they just fell to the mercy of their conditions, it didn't make them bad people, it just made them bad parents. Life was chaotic, peace was hard to come by, each day was like throwing a ball on a roulette table, you never knew where it would land. I can remember walking home from school when I was in 3rd grade (it would take me 3x as long as the other kids) because I would walk really slow to delay getting home and as I cleared the bend in the road I would peer around the corner to see if the cops were at my house (this typically happened 2-3x a week when my mother would get sloppy drunk and high) and my stepfather would leave the house. The best part of those days would be when she passed out from drinking too much, the only thing I had to do then made sure my brothers and my sister ate and went to bed. You see once upon a time I considered growing up like that a curse but today I look at those days as a blessing, preparing me for the life ahead to be the MAN, the entrepreneur, the husband, and the father I am today. I truly believe my past has given me the skills, the attributes, and the fortitude to break down barriers, overcome obstacles and conquer the challenges that have to lead me to where I am today. Now my body of work is shared with men across the country, in many different industries with vast differences in where they've come from and what they've gone through, and even where they'd like to go…..the one constant is they all strive to be better, do better and have more and that's what ASCENSION is…the pursuit of a better way, the pursuit to be a better husband, a better father and a better businessman!

About Will: As an 80's kid growing up on Atari and Nintendo, I was always fascinated by video games and their ability to hijack me and propel me into a world much better than the one I was living in. Where my only limits were on my ability to acquire the skills required to master the game. Divorced parents, an alcoholic and abusive mother, and a habitual outcast from constantly moving around as a kid left me suicidal my freshman year of college. I had your typical fixed victim mindset convinced I was born with a broken brain and there was nothing I could do about it. A serendipitous moment in college - see my timeline below - allowed me to hit the reset button and set me on a quest to figure out what happiness really is, and how to harness its power. One major goal I set and achieved was to become a successful entrepreneur - starting-up multiple businesses, and exiting one of them for 9-figures. Ironically, doing so helped me realize one of life's great truths on happiness: money alone can't buy it. Deep, soul-filling, long-term happiness requires a more holistic approach, and would require me to become the CEO of the most important business I'd ever run, MY LIFE! To run a successful startup requires fundamentally understanding, maintaining balance in, and growing in its core areas. But instead of HR, marketing, and accounting, in real life it's what I've determined are The Five Cores. 25 years later (why my current status is level 25) I've upgraded my avatar from a fixed victim to a growth owner who knows I have everything within me to reach any level I set my sites on - failing, learning, and continuously powering-up along the way. I ultimately learned that while life is complex, principles are not. And by combining behavioral science with modern technology, I've created the moore momentum system to allow anyone to have a blast leveling up their life by building up their success habits in all five cores.

About Liz: As the daughter of world-renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Richard F. Edlich, Liz Edlich and her sister Rachel grew up in their father's labs and were constantly exposed to skin rejuvenation and wound healing. She proceeded to go into the skincare industry and developed around 100 different products for celebrities and television for 10-15 years, alongside Rachel. It wasn't until the two sisters experienced issues with their own skin that they decided to begin a new venture. At the age of 45, Liz Edlich realize that her skin wasn't the same. She found that “gravity had hit” and wrinkles, hair, hormones and weight all seemed to be out of her control. Additionally, Rachel suddenly began to suffer from rosacea. The sisters then set out on their own mission: to create a skincare product that could be Liz's anti-ageing solution but was also formulated to heal and cater to Rachel's sensitive skin. Once created, Liz had only used the product for 2 weeks before she found herself inundated with comments from co-workers about what she was using – something that had never happened to her before. Rachel's rosacea also cleared after 30 days and they knew they were on to something special. After testing the product in the lab, they discovered that it outperformed numerous other brands in potency and before they knew it, Radical Skincare was born. Liz is adamant that the products created are only those that are truly needed in the market. She bases her decision for product creation on what she and her friends require and sets out to create a multitasking product to target the issues. Her biggest priority is to make a difference, not just to people's skin, but to their lives. She constantly calls upon her experiences with some of the biggest success coaches in the world and applies that passion to how she can use Radical Skincare to better the lives of others. Radical Skincare has now been taken from 2 Barneys stores in New York and Los Angeles to 16 countries and 800 stores. The brand can now be found in Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, QVC, Fenwick's, Harvey Nichols, all Space NK stores and now Harrods – and it only continues to grow.

Paul Getter is a friend first and top-tier internet marketer second. Paul’s internet marketing career began in desperation. Recently fired and without any prospects, he discovered the power of social media. Without any formal education in marketing, he committed himself to learning every aspect of social media marketing. Fast forward a few years and he has now spent over one billion dollars running ads and campaigns for his clients, is in the top 1% of ad spenders on Facebook, and has over 1 million followers on Instagram. But Paul knows that platforms like Facebook and Instagram are just tools. They're not the objective. The objective is getting results for his clients. Just a sampling of his successes include boosting the popularity of TV shows, skyrocketing authors onto the New York Times best-sellers list, elevating Fortune 500 companies, and helping numerous A-list celebrities and small-platform personalities gain millions of social media followers. But don't get the wrong idea that Paul only works with household brand names or personalities who have already achieved fame and influence (such as Alex Mehr, Tai Lopez, and Les Brown, just to name just a few). On the contrary, Paul is absolutely passionate about collaborating with anyone who is wholeheartedly dedicated to sharing their awesome ideas with the world. Paul works with each client in a deeply personal way. People trust him, refer him to their friends and colleagues, and come back to work with him because he cares for them as people. Ethical to the core, Paul has declined numerous lucrative opportunities that didn't align with his principals. He lives in Florida with his wife and three brilliant kids. When not spending time with his family or placing his order a local Starbucks—tall nonfat mocha, please—you might find him in a third-world country camping in huts with no water or electricity.
