Actress, Content Creator & Podcaster

She is the founder of Try Your Best (TYB), a platform redefining how brands grow by turning their most passionate fans into active participants. Brands like Rare Beauty, Bubble, Poppi, SET Active, and Urban Outfitters use TYB to gather direct input from their communities, offer rewards and ownership-style incentives, and deepen loyalty in ways traditional marketing never could — shifting brand building from one-way messaging to genuine shared participation.

Before TYB, Ty co-founded Outdoor Voices, where she developed the community-first playbook that would later define her career: using storytelling, real-world connection, and participatory culture to build loyalty that went far beyond product. It was there she proved that the most powerful thing a brand could do was make people feel like they belonged to something.

That conviction carried into everything she's built since including Joggy, an organic energy drink she founded around the idea that how you fuel yourself should feel as good as the life you're living. Across all of her ventures, Ty's through-line is the same: build brands that move culture by giving communities a real sense of ownership and a reason to stay.

Today, I’m building Ohai.ai: a new kind of support system for modern families. Ohai is designed to take on the invisible load: the planning, remembering, coordinating, and mental juggling that so often falls on one person. It’s about giving families their time, energy, and presence back.

Throughout my career, I’ve focused on turning real-life challenges into systems that actually help people live and work better. Because when families are supported, everything else has room to grow.

Entrepreneur and Speaker

2026 Study Hall Off The Record Conversation

Jess is an entrepreneur and speaker whose expertise spans social media marketing, course creation, organic launching, and building online businesses from the ground up. A former celebrity personal trainer and elementary school teacher, she turned a "cute side hustle" into a multi-million dollar business in under two years. As founder of Digital Business Evolution, she built a team of heart-centered leaders, served thousands of clients, and helped generate over $50 million in revenue for those she mentored.

In 2025, after becoming a first-time mother, Jess made the unexpected decision to step back from social media, dissolve her team, and shut down the multi-7-figure business she'd spent over a decade building; prioritizing her mental health and family over the momentum of her "success."

What followed was a real reckoning with who she was without the business and how much of her identity had become tangled up in it. She has spent the past year in that process of separating the two; a journey through identity, grief, and reinvention. Jess is now rebuilding what work, ambition, and business look like on her own terms.

Outside of work, Jess is navigating motherhood in her 40s with a toddler. She's a longtime fitness enthusiast, lover of dance and fashion who finds calm in crafting. Her most recent creative project is writing her first children's chapter book. She and her husband are also longtime advocates for education access, having built a school in Ghana with Pencils of Promise in 2021.

Over the years she has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Yahoo Finance, The Today Show, Good Day New York, The New York Post, and Shape Magazine. Her mission remains what it's always been: to create a ripple effect that outlasts her.

Brand Consultant & Digital Creator

Creator Compound Panelist

Originally a refugee from South Sudan, Golloria came to the United States at five years old with her family in pursuit of "The American Dream”. Growing up without representation of her skin tone in the beauty industry and her community, she often felt overlooked — an experience that would later shape her mission and voice.

While in college and working full-time, Golloria began testing different foundations online, posting “Get Ready With Me” videos and honest product reviews centered on deeper skin tones. It was after a long 12-hour day that she came home and created what would be her first viral video — ultimately leading her to become a full-time creator and voice for beauty inclusivity. Her voice has since become so powerful that major brands have not only changed their formulas to be more inclusive for darker skin tones, but several have also recruited her as a consultant to help guarantee their products meet a higher standard. As a result of her work, Golloria has graced countless lists and received many awards for her work in the beauty industry.

Core Campus Moderator

Moll Anderson is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Emmy Award winner, three-time Gracie Award winner, television and radio host, designer, and pioneering voice in the modern lifestyle space. For more than two decades, she has inspired audiences through conversations about intentional living, emotional wellbeing, relationships, beauty, and human connection. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, Today, The Talk, Dr. Phil, Access Hollywood Live, and national media platforms.

As a young single mother navigating trauma, uncertainty, and survival, Anderson learned firsthand that home is about far more than aesthetics. It can provide safety, stability, hope, and an emotional foundation. Those experiences shaped her belief that our surroundings, relationships, routines, and emotional environments profoundly influence how we live, connect, heal, and grow.

That belief became the foundation for The Psychology of Home™, her trademarked philosophy exploring how physical and emotional environments shape wellbeing. Drawing from behavioral science and neuroscience research, expert conversations, design, and lived experience, Anderson translates complex ideas into practical insights. She calls the emotional foundation of home its “invisible architecture”—the words, relationships, rituals, energy, and sense of safety that shape how people feel long after a room is furnished.

Today, Anderson brings this philosophy to The Moll House™, an intimate cinematic video podcast filmed inside her homes in Malibu, Dallas, and Knoxville. Through conversations with influential voices across culture, wellness, relationships, creativity, and personal growth, the homes become part of the storytelling—spaces that invite openness, reflection, and authentic connection.

Grounded in lived experience, research, and thoughtful design, Moll Anderson inspires audiences to create homes that are not only beautiful, but deeply supportive of the lives unfolding within them.

Co-Founder & CEO of 4AM Skin

The Quad Panelist

Jade Beguelin is the co-founder and CEO of 4AM, the skincare brand for people with somewhere to be. A former JP Morgan derivatives trader turned growth marketer, Jade spent over three years managing seven-figure budgets for top DTC brands before leaving the corporate track to build the brand she couldn't find on shelves.

4AM exists for the person the beauty industry forgot: someone with a demanding job and a full life who still expects their skincare to actually work. Every product is built on the belief that efficacy and convenience shouldn't be a trade-off, with serum-grade formulas engineered for real routines, from the brand's cult-favorite The Routine to Clean Sheets, its credit-card-sized reinvention of the facial wipe.

Featured in Vogue and named a W Magazine Select, 4AM closed an oversubscribed $4M+ seed round in 2026, led by CAVU Consumer Partners and backed by the founders of Youth to the People, Violet Grey, and Starface. The brand launched into over 1700 Target stores nationwide, alongside Revolve and Bloomingdale's.
