Mike Begala
What do you say about Mike? He is one of the most genuine people you could ever have the opportunity to encounter. As head trainer at Evolution, Mike speaks and teaches at every training we have. He is lead trainer at our most advanced trainings like NLP Coaching Mastery, and NLP Influence Mastery.
In addition to training, he is also our head life coach and executive coach, leading the other coaches at Evolution. Mike is an invaluable part of the team, and his care for our clients is beyond words. You will find his teaching style funny, authentic, and fast paced, with an emphasis on real world application!

Anna Lam
We are so blessed to have Anna at the helm taking care of so much here at Evolution. You will find her running production for our live events, which includes everything from coordinating with AV, stage, products, schedules, volunteers, staff, hotels, and everything else that comes with it.
If that wasn't enough, during the week she is our project manager, responsible for all new creation projects. This is critical because when Matt has an idea, Anna is the one who makes it real by gathering the right team, creating deadlines, and getting it all scheduled. There's a good chance that anything you have read, watched, listened to, or experienced was produced by Anna!
Anna hails from Berkeley, CA, and being a closet tree-hugger has been known to repurpose random materials. When taking a break from reinventing new uses for old discards, Anna can be found in a coffee shop immersed in a book, or out-and-about exploring one of the many beach towns of Southern California.
Obsessed with road trips and enamored by the tiny house movement, Anna aspires to live the life of a nomad. She strives for a simple life, maybe one day living in a double-wide Airstream, but definitely to travel the world and send postcards from obscure places. Prior to joining Evolution, Anna served as a project marketing manager, communications specialist and account executive for a variety of companies across different industries.”

Jeremy Nunez
If you have ever called, emailed, or stopped in the office, there's a great chance that Jeremy was there to make you feel welcome. This young man wears many hats, including client care of all kinds. He takes care of maintaining our client accounts, email schedule, website needs, automation and follow up.
If that wasn't enough, he is also at every live workshop we put on! Whether it's running the setup, production, and tear down so all the attendees can simply enjoy themselves, Jeremy thinks of things that need to be handled before anyone even knows there is a thing... We are grateful for him, and tremendously proud of who he is!
Jeremy is a Southern California native and joined the team in September 2015. He has a passion for learning and loves contributing to the growth of others. Jeremy is beyond grateful to be part of a community and team where that is possible. He also has a love for the great outdoors. Jeremy enjoys rock climbing, backpacking, and peak bagging. You’ll often find Jeremy planning his next adventure or talking about his last. His goal is to be able to summit the highest peaks in all of 50 states!
Jeremy credits who he is today to life experiences, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and those good ol’ summit views. Jeremy’s favorite quote is “Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you.”

Sasha Barber
Sasha is an absolute light of the world with her infectious positive attitude and ubiquitous smile. That's exactly why she has been Matt's speaker manager since 2008! As speaker manager, Sasha is the go-to for any bookings when Matt speaks at another seminar, conference, book signing, or corporate event
She also wears the hat of partner and sponsor concierge, taking care of all of Evolution's guest speakers for our events. In addition, she handles all sponsorship sales for our live events. If you would like to partner with Evolution, or have Matt speak at your event, Sasha has the calendar and the power to make that happen!
Everyday Sasha lives a fulfilling and busy life of being a conscious parent for 3 boys, wife, real estate broker, speaker, writer, and kundalini yoga & meditation teacher. She lives by trusting her inner-guidance. Following her intuition, she achieved her dream of going to Hawaii to birth her 3rd baby and swim with the dolphins in 2015. Ever since then, dolphins have become her guiding force in life.
Her cool accent comes from growing up in Belarus, a country between Poland and Russia. Her whole family loves to travel and they would go from the Belizean tropics (where her husband Ryan is from) to icy cold Eastern European countries (where the rest of her family still lives) as well as through all the natural wonders of the US.

Tina Louise Fox
Tina is one of the hippest, coolest "spark plugs" you will meet! She has an uncanny creative ability, and is always the center of community and fun. Through her concierge company PURPLE FOX, Tina seamlessly takes care of all of our online brand management. Through various social media outlets like facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram, she helps our community stay up to date with new content.
Cool meme creations, interesting articles, live video sessions, or even social interaction contests at live events, Tina does it all. She is queen of engagement, and makes even a first time guest feel like they are home with family.
Tina first encountered Evolution in 2011 and began volunteering in 2014 after leaving the corporate world where she worked in office administration for 14 years. Her hobbies include attending live music and comedy shows, seeking adventures, new foods and wild hair colors. She’s allergic to mean people, and loves to sing her heart out (when nobody’s watching).
One of her favorite Evolution memories is the first event she attended. Being as dedicated to “invisibility” as she once was, she managed to avoid connecting with anyone! She finds this amusing because fate would inevitably bring her back around 3 years later to grow roots at Evolution, find her chosen family here, and devote her skills and talents to nurturing the development of the company and community.
