Growing up in Sweden, Per Bristow was a prodigy violin player, the youngest ever invited into the city’s symphony orchestra at only 12 years old. Instead of music, however, Per opted to pursue sports during his teens. During this time, after a back injury, he learned some principles that helped him to learn rapidly, such as advanced kinesthetic awareness, mental imagery and visualization techniques, understanding and appying the physical law of least effort, the application of flow and rhythm and an ability to enter a state of “peak performance”. Only two years later, he was a top athlete in the nation in track and field. He began singing and acting, becoming a top performer, as the original rock cat Rum Tum Tugger in the musical Cats – a production that was recognized as one of the top Cats productions in the world, starred in West Side Story as Riff for 350 performance, has sung the role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, sang in rock band, choruses, jazz groups and has had many roles in TV shows and feature films. Also, as creator of The Bristow Voice Method, Per has empowered tens of thousands of singers and speakers from over 132 nations to heal, build and free their voices. The Bristow Voice Method was born out of Per’s vast experience as a performing musician, singer, actor and athlete, his many years of experience as a teacher and coach, and his depth of knowledge in areas of human anatomy, modern training methods, advanced learning strategies, peak performance psychology, advanced mental training techniques, nutrition and more.

Izzy Ezagui is an American-born decorated squad commander in the Israel Defense Forces. Just after finishing his military training in December of 2008, Izzy was guarding the border of Israel and Gaza and was hit by a mortar, ripping his left arm from his body. He underwent emergency surgery immediately at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba. Such an injury would have ended a military career for most men, but not Izzy. Ignoring his doctors, Izzy fought harder than ever before to recover and return to full combat duty. To his knowledge, he is the only soldier with his disability to return to full combat service. Though he had to cut through miles of bureaucratic red tape, his resilience and determination paid off. Taking his family with him, Izzy moved from Miami to Israel in August of 2007. While his family did not immediately become Israeli citizens, Izzy made aliya right away and immediately enlisted in the army. Izzy is an inspiration to friends and soldiers, and now that he has been discharged and returned to civilian life, he’s focused on doing the same for others. Continuing to serve in an elite unit in the reserves, Izzy also delivers inspirational talks across the globe. He’s appeared on The Huffington Post, Al Jazeera America, Fox News, and Israeli National News. He also gives motivational speeches for the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces and other organizations, and spends time with young people on birthright Israel trips, just as soldiers did with him. His memoir “Disarmed” is set to release next Spring.
