The relentless pursuit of his childhood dreams made Rob Dyrdek a professional athlete at 16 years old and propelled him into the world of business before most people entered college. Surrounded by entrepreneurs in his youth, Dyrdek quickly learned the power of building brands. At 18 years old, he used that knowledge to create his first company.
This "outlier" experience helped him to develop and grow both his brands and increase the value of his brand partners as he was quickly becoming an influential professional skateboarder. By leveraging his influence and designing new concepts and ideas, he helped turn a rising footwear and apparel brand into a $500 million international company. He used that same expertise to build skate brands later in his career, launching the world's first true professional skateboarding league Street League Skateboarding and a first of its kind skateboarding channel, ETN.
That same approach to brand development led him to co-create and executive produce his first television show, Rob & Big on MTV. After the success of this first show, he created Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory showcasing his Do-Or-Dier® mentality towards entrepreneurship. Constantly evolving and taking calculated risks, Dyrdek beat world records with his physical feats while continuing his endeavors, launching several new brands while structuring multi-platform integrated partnerships.
Dyrdek continued in his television success with the launch of his production company, Superjacket. In this role, he created Ridiculousness, yet another big hit television show, followed by hits like Nickelodeon's Mega Life & Crashletes and CMT's The Dude Perfect Show. With Ridiculousness on its 10th season on MTV, Dyrdek created a brand-new talent competition show, Amazingness, his fourth show on their network.
Using this expertise gained developing the intersection between business and media, he went on to not only invest in new ventures but also help successfully amplify their brand. With his extensive knowledge, experience, and insight gained over two decades of building his intellectual properties and working with top brands around the world, he started developing the groundwork for his full-service venture studio, Dyrdek Machine.
His unquenchable desire to live life to the fullest pushed him to develop a strategy for success in life, not unlike the formula he created for his venture studio. Following his life plan for happiness, balance, and love while still achieving greatness in his career, Dyrdek now enjoys a fulfilling life with his family in Beverly Hills and continues to build his dream as he had not only envisioned but designed it.- David Neal was born on 13 February 1932 in Kettering, Northants, England, UK.

- Sean Dyche is the current manager of Burnley F.C. and is the second longest-serving manager in the Premier League having started in October 2012 . Born in Kettering in 1971, Dyche has become a popular figure in the world of British football due to his tactical knowledge and charismatic personality. He began his playing career in the youth ranks at Nottingham Forest under the watchful eye of Brian Clough, before joining Chesterfield in 1990, where he progressed to captain and made over 250 appearances, famously scoring in in their famous FA Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough in 1997. Sean has also represented Bristol City, Luton Town, Millwall, Watford and Northampton Town, earning promotions with three of his six clubs.
After retiring as a player in 2007, Sean started his coaching career with Watford's youth team shortly after, and he soon made his way up to assistant manager under Malky Mackay. Mackay left Watford ahead of the 2011/12 campaign and Dyche was promoted to become the Hornets' manager in June 2011, with his first match in charge coming against Burnley at Turf Moor. Watford and Dyche parted company in 2012, which led to Dyche working with the England Under-21 side as part of the staff put together by Stuart Pearce, a former playing colleague of Dyche at Nottingham Forest. In 2012, Burnley appointed Dyche as their manager where he guided the club to a 2nd place finish in the Championship during the 2013/14 season, securing automatic promotion to the Premier League. Dyche was unable to keep the Clarets in the top-flight, but he guided them back to an immediate Premier League return, lifting the Championship trophy in 2015/16. Burnley came 16th in the top tier the following season, and were then 7th in 2017/18 - their best ever Premier League finish. - June Bland was born in 1931 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, UK.

Michael McKiddy was seen at the age of 5 in his first television appearance on the "The Uncle Al TV Show" in Cincinnati, Ohio. Shortly after that his parents took him to see "Back to the Future," and from that moment on, he told everyone he met that he wanted to be an actor.
Growing up in Springboro, Ohio, Michael spent every spare moment of his teenage years writing and filming movies and skits with his childhood friends, stating this was "an incredible acting/filmmaking class in itself." But it took him 5 years after relocating with his family to Sterling Heights, Michigan, during his senior year at Utica High School, to gather enough nerve to audition for the school's Fall musical "Oklahoma!" He successfully landed a role, and was overwhelmed by the camaraderie involved in putting a show together.
Officially bitten by the acting bug, Michael spent the next 8 years studying acting and performing in front of sold out audiences in theaters throughout Southeastern Michigan, as he starred in over 40 plays and musicals. He won numerous awards, like the Gypsy Robe for his portrayal of Ellard Simms, a slow minded Southern boy, in Larry Shue's "The Foreigner." He also took home three different awards at Grosse Pointe Theatre for: Best Featured Male as Vinnie Bavasi in Neil Simon's "Proposals"; Best Supporting Male as Stanley in "Brighton Beach Memoirs"; and Best Leading Male as Nick in "Over the River and Through the Woods."
In addition to his onstage performances, Michael was involved in various local films in the Detroit area; having roles that would place him in front of and behind the camera, satisfying his eagerness to continue learning all aspects of filmmaking. At age 19, he landed the lead role of Patrick Hill, a recovering heroin addict who learns he has contracted AIDS, in the gritty feature film "After April."
After being cast in 4 additional local features, Michael was chosen to play the character Brad, a supporting role opposite Shanti Lowry ("The Game"), Melissa Schuman ("Love Don't Cost a Thing"), and Scott Vickaryous ("Get Real") in the film "Silent Scream", produced by Bob Brown (Jeff Daniel's partner at Purple Rose Films), which was picked up by Lionsgate, and can be found at all online retailers.
He can also be seen as the lead role in the hilarious feature film "Deadheads" (which can be seen all over the world; the film sold out two screenings at the 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival, a third show was even added; then also in July 2011 it sold out a 530 seat theater at Michael Moore's Traverse City Film Festival; "DeadHeads" was screened to sold out audiences at the 2011 Albuquerque Film Festival, then at UK's Film4 FrightFest in Liecester Square; Screamfest in LA; and then Toronto After Dark and the Austin Film Festival - where all three screenings sold out - among dozens of other major festivals).
Michael also starred in a short film called "Suck" (directed by Ben Ketai - "The Strangers: Prey At Night") which screened at Screamfest 2007 at the Chinese Theatre in LA; Michael also played Nico Wexler for two seasons in Ketai's hit Sony series "StartUp;" as well as written/acted in/produced/directed numerous short films (including "The Men's Room," which was a finalist in the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" short film contest) and a web series called "Paranormal, Burbank" (a loose spoof of the hit Sci Fi channel show "Ghost Hunters"), which can be seen all over the Internet.
Also a writer, Michael watched his first full length play "The Scene with the Large Man" (which he also produced and directed), come to life when it premiered in Michigan in June 2005. Later in that same month, "Aisle Two" - a one act play he wrote - was produced off Broadway at the Sargent Theatre in New York City. In September 2011 his one act play "Evidence" was produced at the Manhattan Repertory Theatre in NYC.
He has completed the screenplays: "Reenactment," "Mulher," "In Between Fading," "Shooting Blanks" - which he co-wrote with USC grad and former Netflix's "Ozark" writer/producer Ryan Farley - and "Aurora" - also with Ryan Farley; as well as the stage plays "Love(HATE)," "Fake," and "Hilarity Ensues." His screenplay "Maybe Someday" was produced by Cynthia J. Popp and Christy Dooley ("The Bold and the Beautiful"), which is now available on Amazon and iTunes; Michael played the lead in the film alongside Kim Matula ("Fighting With My Family"), Ser'Darius Blain ("Jumanji," "Charmed"), Saige Ryan Campbell ("I Heart Huckabees"), Sam Anderson ("Lost," "Forrest Gump"), Charlie Robinson ("Night Court"), Alley Mills ("The Wonder Years"), Eden Malyn ("Orange is the New Black"), and Emily Kuroda ("Gilmore Girls").
Michael was also the producer of the critically acclaimed World Premiere of Keith Huff's (author of "A Steady Rain," which ran on Broadway and starred Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig) "Pursued By Happiness" at The Road Theatre Company from March-June 2011.
Outside of the film business, Michael is a singer/songwriter and has recorded his music with his band Right on Wagner (three ROW songs are featured in his film "DeadHeads," especially the song "Say Hi" which plays throughout the last ten minutes of the film and into the credits).
