marina byezhanova
I was born in the soviet union and grew up in post-soviet ukraine. I experienced what it is like not to have a voice. today, my life's mission is to inspire people to own their narrative and to never self-censor.
I am an entrepreneur, global speaker, show host & personal branding expert.
my goal: to inspire 1 million people to scale the reach of their voice in order to stand up, to speak up, and to be radically authentic.
stefano faustini
I grew up in a socio-cultural environment that de-prioritized professional progress, big dreams & academics. I never fit into that environment - and spent years fighting against it.
I launched this business to hang around the smartest, most inspiring individuals I could find. a new cultural environment began to emerge - and you won't catch me looking back.
backed by the best community & clients.

Shawn Johal - Business Growth & Happiness Coach
"I have been working with the team at BOAL for a year. I needed major help building my brand and getting my message out to my audience and had no idea where to start. The team carefully crafted a detailed plan, starting by clarifying my unique voice. From there, we built a social media strategy that allowed me to 7X my reach within a few months. I haven't looked back. I am now very well positioned to grow my business through different channels and could never have done this without their guidance!"
