Bridget Hilton

Growing up in Flint, MI, Bridget Hilton struggled with depression and drugs. As a teenager, she used her love of music as fuel for a different future, and hustled her way into the largest record label in the world - helping to launch some of today's biggest careers in music such as Rihanna, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift.

Inspired by a viral video of a deaf woman hearing for the first time, she then founded and bootstrapped the first ever social good electronics company, LSTN, sold millions of products, partnered with the likes of Google, Delta Air Lines, and Amazon, and has given over 50,000 people the gift of hearing for the first time.

Now as a keynote speaker, co-author of the Experiential Billionaire book and Treasure Maps card game, self proclaimed experiential guinea pig, and facilitator of one of the largest surveys on life experiences ever done, she is passionate about helping others with their mental health and inspiring people to live intentional, regret free lives by going after audacious goals. Together her and co-author Joe Huff have trained to be samurai, danced with the northern lights, tracked silverback gorillas in a hail storm, stood face-to-face with a hungry lion on safari, visited 50+ countries and all 50 states, absorbed life lessons from Maasai Mara tribesmen, sped across a glacier on a dogsled, spoke on stage with Sir Richard Branson, built schools for kids in need, lived with monks, swum with sharks, and explored the experiential riches life has to offer.

Having already impacted organizations like Google, Amazon, Delta, Whole Foods, Spotify, Nordstrom, UCLA, USC, Duke and more, Bridget is on a mission to reach as many audiences as possible to encourage them to live their fullest lives through new experiences.

Bridget has previously been featured in over 500 media outlets and recognized as both Forbes and Inc Magazine's 30 Under 30, Entrepreneur's 15 Women to Watch, and NAWBO's Rising Star and has been interviewed on the Today Show, Good Morning America, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, Buzzfeed and Fast Company. She serves on boards at both UCLA and UC Santa Barbara and lives in Los Angeles, CA with her dog Taco.
