Reinvention: Write, Tell, and Live Your Greatest Story

Sometimes the story you’ve been living starts to feel like someone else wrote it. That’s not your ending – it’s the perfect place to begin again.

Join host MEA CEO Derek Gehl for a bold live conversation with brand strategist, author, and storytelling powerhouse Robin Fisher Roffer. With decades of experience helping global leaders and everyday seekers craft their most authentic narratives, Robin brings wisdom, wit, and fearlessness to the art of reinvention.

We’ll explore:

  • Your story as a superpower – how to make peace with your past and turn it into fuel for what’s next
  • Breaking the script – why shedding old roles is essential to becoming who you’re meant to be
  • Living the rewrite – practical tools to step into your next chapter with clarity and confidence

Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, a personal transformation, or just ready to stop playing small – this live chat will light a fire under your reinvention journey.

Pass It On: Mentor Young Innovators Building a Better Future

May 18, 2026 8:00 AM PT 11:00 AM ET

In a village in Sub-Saharan Africa, a young entrepreneur is building a smokeless cookstove to protect maternal and child health. In another, someone’s engineering a water purification system from scratch. In a third, a fellow is rethinking food packaging to cut waste.

These are real ventures being built right now by fellows at beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship – a global program for eco-innovators aged 16 to 28. MEA co-founder and event host Jeff Hamaoui has spent the past year mentoring a cohort of them.

Right now beVisioneers is looking for more mentors.

Join Jeff and beVisioneers’ Seán Gallen and Coralie Jacquot for a conversation about what mentoring through this program actually looks like — and what it might offer the work you take on next.

They’ll cover:What beVisioneers is, who the fellows are, and what they’re building

How the mentorship model works – the time commitment, the format, and the support mentors receive

Why decades of “ordinary” career experience is exactly what these young founders need

What Jeff has learned (and unlearned) coaching his Rafiki cohort of young innovators this past year

How to apply, and what to expect once you do

Several of Jeff’s mentees will join us to share what this relationship has meant for their ventures and their communities.

If you’ve spent your career building something and you’re ready to put that experience to work somewhere it’ll matter, this hour is for you.
