A true rags-to-riches story. Dave Cantin grew up a working-class guy in the NY/NJ area. From humble beginnings, through hard work, determination, self-motivation, and unrelenting drive, Dave worked his way up from entry-level positions to a true industry authority as the founder and CEO of Dave Cantin Group brands, including, DCG Acquisitions, one of the largest and most successful automotive M&A firms in the nation. Tragedy could not sideline him. In 2011, Dave was diagnosed with Leukemia, and he began a five-year bout with cancer. But his determination could not be stopped, and in addition to his personal battle against the disease, he began fundraising and acting as a board member for various pediatric cancer charities. In 2016, Dave beat the odds against Leukemia when, after five years of chemotherapy, he was deemed cancer free. In 2017, Dave closed the second-largest auto buy/sell in U.S. history: Prime Motor Group, consisting of over 30 dealerships. The largest deal of its kind ever done by a broker, it is the second-largest automotive acquisition behind Warren Buffett’s 2015 acquisition of Van Tuyl Group, which became Berkshire Hathaway Automotive. Having proved himself as a champion of self-motivation, Dave is now motivated by acts of giving back and inspiring others. In recent years, he has continued to pledge time and money to childhood cancer treatment and research—through programs at his current company and his former dealership, as well as other external fundraising events. Dave has been a board member for Hope & Heroes, Columbia University Medical Center, Project Ladybug, and Hyundai Hope on Wheels, where he served as Vice Chairman. To date, he has helped raise over $100 million in the fight to cure pediatric cancer. He continues to build his legacy as a coast-to-coast business leader, philanthropist, and motivator.

Claire has been avid about activity from a young age - her life was built around ballet and horseback riding through high school. After navigating through some tough waters in college, she took some time “off the grid” and farmed around the country with WWOOF for a couple of years. This experience not only gave her time to breath out of the clutches of societal expectations, but allowed her to begin rebuilding a healthy relationship with her body. With no “normal job” to force her to adapt to unnatural/unhealthy cycles, she starting understanding the importance of listening to the natural flow of her body’s energy state. For the first time, she was able to let go of society’s demand to use every moment “productively” and get a taste of what it was like to simply exist; and in that space, start becoming inspired by her own dreams and passions instead of what she thought she was “supposed” to want to do with her life. This sparked a new way of operating for Claire that would, over time, become incredibly life-changing.
