How We Built a Global Summit With 130+ Speakers | Behind the Transformation Gap – Ep. 40

How do two people take one question and turn it into a six-day global Summit with more than 130 speakers? In this special behind-the-scenes episode of Rebuild & Fulfill , Suffer To Tougher Co-Founders Kelsey Dunbar and Marc Rogala pull back the curtain on how The Transformation Gap Summit actually came together. It wasn't simply LinkedIn, speaker applications, or networking. It was decades of relationships. Kelsey's world of fitness, coaching, speaking, business, podcasting, and mental health collided with Marc's world of addiction, recovery, peer support, behavioral health, and lived experience. Those two worlds eventually became Suffer To Tougher, and now they've helped bring together more than 130 voices from around the world. In this episode, Kelsey and Marc talk about: Why the Summit was built around a question rather than an answer How their completely different life experiences shaped the speaker lineup Why mental health runs throughout the Summit without making it a traditional mental-health conference How the six Transformation Lenses organize more than 130 speakers How the free six-day Summit actually works Why attendees should not try to watch everything The difference between gathering more information and actually implementing what you learn The goal isn't to hear every speaker. It's to find the conversation that meets you where you are, take something from it, and do something with it. As Kelsey explains in the episode, if all the Summit provides is more information, it hasn't closed the Transformation Gap at all. 🎟️ THE TRANSFORMATION GAP SUMMIT September 24–29, 2026 | Six Days | Virtual | FREE Register free here: https://thetransformationgapsummit.com/ More than 130 speakers.
