The Best Ever You is proud to welcome the Founder of Girls Above Society - Lauren Marie Galley. Making a Difference has been Lauren’s destiny from the start. Growing up in the theater from the age of five instilled hard work, dedication, and responsibility. Embarking on a journey at the age of 16, Lauren traded high school for college and pursued her film/modeling career with greater drive. Pursuing a PHD in Clinical Psychology as an honors student, Lauren’s desire to help young teens gain self confidence and leadership led to her launching (at the age of 17) “Girls Above Society”, a non profit organization with a mission to provide mentorship and awareness to young teen girls facing the pressures of today’s society. Lauren has combined her film work and modeling igniting the “Girl Talk” program as a developmental, hands-on experience for young teens. Being an excellent role model with drive, determination and an amazing amount of compassion says without a doubt Lauren will continue to make a difference...one girl at a time... Lauren’s latest film opportunities include a co-star role as Sparx McCoy along with Matt Lavine as Matt Mercury in “Matt Mercury -  Plot of the Galactic Mastermind” directed by Bill Hughes of Big Tex Movin Picture Company, and “Making of a Serial Killer” directed by Russ Miller of Cynsings Studios, both to be released 2013.  Lauren has been featured on ABC Family’s “The Lying Game” as well as National Commercials such as Fox Sports and Jarritos.  http://www.girlsabovesociety.org http://www.laurengalley.com

Tom had the idea for a vitality drink and an entirely new category of beverages, plus he had the expertise to get it out successfully to the marketplace; Brian had the finest fruits in the world at his fingertips and was looking for new worlds to conquer. Between the two creative businessmen, it was a marriage made in heaven. A few short months later, Rushmore Essentials hit the market with REvive, a 2.5 oz. “shot” packed with 21 fruits and super-fruits plus a touch of green tea for people on the go, and REvitalize, a 32 oz. bottle loaded with the same fruit goodness for home or office. The RE drinks are made from pure fruit juice and puree, with no added sugars, chemicals, additives or stimulants. The delicious-tasting drinks are designed to deliver - in their natural form - all the antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, flavonoids and phytochemicals we need for optimally healthy bodies and minds. Although the line is only 6 months old, it is already carried in over 1500 stores nationwide, and has just launched nationally in Whole Foods and Costco.

The average age of entry in which girls enter prostitution is 13, many of which are children in foster care and runaways. They're a prime target for pimps and recruiters who know the girls often don't have safe or healthy homes to return to. Diane continues to evoke emotion and concern through her films in which she is a voice to the voiceless.  She is also an activist against child marriage and fights for young girls forced into these undesirable and unsafe circumstances.Diane is eager to share her experiences behind Finding Hope with the world and continue to be a warrior in the fight against human trafficking.

The Best Ever You Show is proud to welcome actor Chris Kerson to the show. Born in NYC, and raised in the city and Westchester, Chris is a mix of sexy prep schoolboy and inner city grit. He is a graduate of the College of William and Mary with a degree in psychology. While in college he became interested in acting, took an acting class, and discovered a passion and a talent that was highly praised by his teachers. Upon graduation he worked briefly in Investment Banking, and left that lucrative but unfulfilling field to pursue what he feels is his true calling. Both in L.A. and New York, Chris has studied and coached with several excellent teachers, including Charlie Laughton, William Alderson, Marcia Haufrecht, Arian Brandt, and Fred Waggoner. Chris has been a lead in over 14 independent films in the last 4 years, and more than 20 independent shorts and features in his entire career. Many have gone to film festivals such as Cannes, Slamdance, Berlin, Cinequest, and Brooklyn. Most notably, he played the lead character in Sean Kirkpatrick’s feature film Cost of a Soul, which on May 20th, 2011 premiered across the country in 50 AMC theaters. AMC and its distributor, Relativity Media, chose Cost of a Soul as the winning independent film of the year in their “I am Rogue” film contest. The characters that Chris plays range from dark and quirky, to romantic, to comedic; and sometimes require him to gain or lose significant amounts of weight, demonstrating his ability to dramatically transform himself physically to portray a character. In addition to his refined acting technique, Chris credits his long time dedication to the martial arts, and spiritual practices, as what centers and grounds him in his acting work. These disciplines enable him to consistently bring forth richly human characters with greater depth and scope.
