Tess Bell
This globally recognized powerhouse started a KINDNESS-based movement that she scaled from zero to a half-million-dollar business in 4 weeks. Tess, the Swedish-born mother-of-two, has reached the world through her one-of-a-kind Christmas Advent Calendar that swaps chocolate and candy for Acts of Kindness. Being voted best advent calendar by The Today Show while also gaining widespread media attention on national television, online, print, and radio.
An oncology nurse by trade, Tess does everything from business strategy, digital marketing, and copywriting to product development and writing a children’s book.
This powerful woman, also speaking publicly about past struggles with anxiety, said her daughters were her motivation to keep going—"to"show them what could be achieved when you are brave.”
So far, she has inspired half a million acts of kindness while empowering the next generation of children to become more self-aware, confident, and resilient. She plans to double that by the end 2023 while also diving into tech with new apps planned, opening opportunities to investors.
