Charlie's Story and His Mission
Charlie Rocket was managing one of the biggest music management companies in the world when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Facing death and weighing over 300 pounds, he made the choice to return to his childhood dream of being an athlete.
He ended up losing 125 lbs, running 5 marathons, completing an Ironman, and, best of all, reversing his brain tumor. To top it off, he was even featured in Nike's biggest Super Bowl commercial, "Dream Crazy," the Colin Kaepernick commercial.
Charlie now dedicates his entire life to making other people's dreams come true through his non-profit, the Dream Machine Foundation. He wants to become a new type of millionaire that makes a million dreams come true.
